How much weight have you put on since the lockdown began? [View all]

I stopped and saw a friend yesterday that I hadn’t seen in person for a year. He’d definitely put on some weight. I don’t know exactly but I think I’ve put on about 20lbs. For the last year I’ve mostly run around in sweats, but the jeans I’d been wearing before Covid no longer fit me. I just have one pair I can wear, so as things open up I’ll probably need to get a few new clothes. Pants at least.
