Now I am going to see how much "daily fast food" weight I've been carrying. I ate fast food pretty much at least once a day for over 20 years, beause it was convenient. Now I would have to work at getting to a fast food joint, so I'll probably only eat it once or twice a month. It's going to be interesting/horrifying to see what I've been doing to myself out of lazyness all these years.
Last month we went on vacation in Europe with some family including my BIL who I hadn't seen since he retired in May 2007. He had done nothing special other than be away from the workplace and he had lost 20lbs which he put down to not being exposed to fast food, business lunches etc. I hope you have the same success.
