I went the other way, I was down to slim-fit shirts; I gained a bunch of weight over a year after getting a girlfriend (wtf is that about) and now have to wear regular ones; I tried one of my shirts on the other day I am at a loss how this shirt EVER fit me at all.
Semi-related however, I threw in a couple of chin-ups when I was doing my pull-ups as I was curious as to whether or not I could do these now. I could do definitely do them but still find the pull-ups MUCH easier!
I was a UK large when I met my ex. 13 stone ish, , maybe 13.5. Then there was a culmination of loads of things. I was put on Quetiapine (massive weight gain) and Pregabalin (massive weight gain ffs) as well as terrible water retention. Before I knew it I was up to over 18st, and in XXL Tshirts (which I swear in England means XXlong ffs). I was eating three times a day (too many, I don't do anything much) and pigging a bit. Sandwich for lunch (with like three bags of crisps) then a large dinner. Then I would go to bed, and eat a bowl of cereal and then sometimes a sandwich and three bags of crisps. Was a bit of a nightmare tbh. The pills I take (Quetiapine) firstly make you feel like you've not eaten for days, then you don't feel full
so to go on this diet now (just my main meal, all sugar cut) has been very hard. Especially the bedtime bit.
That is why I was a little disappointed that I had "only" lost a stone. Cut 30-45% of my food intake (and all of the crap and 6 sugars a day I was putting in my coffee) and only lose a stone
thing is, I can feel muscle everywhere now. Especially in my legs and stomach. Still got tits (apparently Quetiapine also causes that ffs) but yeah I feel much better.
