Up until Thanksgiving last fall, I weighed in at about 218 - 220. But from Thanksgiving through Christmas, and New Year, I went to between 227-230. I signed up for the biggest loser but everything weight wise went north, or is that south? I went from 227 to 233 even when I was trying to lose weight. I even got depressed looking at the biggest loser THREAD!
To hide my belly through the winter, I wore sweater vests (I have worn them for years in winter) and the tight buttons on the shirts around my belly stayed hidden. Well spring is here and my last year’s short sleeve shirts are showing signs of stretch marks. Can’t hide them with a sweater vest.
Time to buy some new shirts. Last week, (on Friday) I bought 5 new shirts, 3 short sleeve casual and 2 long sleeve dress shirts - all XL!
Would you believe that since last Friday through today, I lost down to 222. My old shirts fit fine now, and my new ones look plum baggy. 11 pounds in the belly gone in one week.
With the warm weather, I have been far more active outside in the yard and riding my bicycle for about 20 minutes a day at a good pace. Plus, schedule has kept me to mid-afternoon meals instead of lunch. The mid afternoon meals satisfy any dinner (supper for southerners) cravings as well. A bowl of soup if I get hungry. That combo has worked well, but I don't know what to do with these new baggy shirts 2 of which I have not worn yet, but they have been washed, so I can't return them!

I can empathize with your earlier comments on frustration - I have hit something of a plateau and haven't put in the work to get past it, so have stopped even looking at the thread until I get more serious.
- maybe you could take a photo, put them in classifieds...
