  You forgot "Lost more than 5 kilos". I've lost somewhere between 1 and 1.5 stone.

  * Avoided COVID (isolated in basement while it coughed it's way through the house above me - actually only the wife brought it home, probably, textbook symptoms bu no test)
  * Spent less time sitting, as no driving, and in fact I think less time in front of computer, learned that that just leads to constant pandemic-status-checking which ain't mental healthy
  * Spent more time active, sorted out garden (now tidiest it's been in 20yrs), started to sort out house inside too, actually made the diy list shorter for once
  * Was rationing food in the beginning when we were living out of cupboards / freezer and only small deliveries
  * More time to cook means more home cooked stuff (I mostly cooked from scratch anyway, but even more so now) - convenience food isn't when you can't just nip out to the shop
  * Eating wider range of stuff, due to both new weekly veg box delivery (from a guy who used to be a veggie events catering business pre-covid) giving us a wider range of stuff I might not ever buy, and sorting out the cupboards and using up weird stuff that's been there for years
  * [big one, probably] Not physically going food shopping means I don't pick up the impulse purchases and reduced price bargains, much of which is high-sugar rubbish - in store, 10p doughnuts, can't leave em behind, online, don't ever see em
