    Good news, bad news...

    Good news: I've dropped from 275 lbs to 222 lbs.

    Bad news: Absolutely none of my kilts fit any more. Not even close. We went out last night to a play ("La Pastorela," at the Mesa Arts Center) and even my best-fitting kilt won't stay put. My belts won't adjust that small, either.

    Last year, and last Wednesday:


    The other good news for some of you is that I'll have some 42-44" kilts and belts in the For Sale section soon...

    Congrats!

    Can't someone (Matt, Barb...or any other kiltmaker) alter your kilts?

    And now you have a good excuse to indulge in a few new kilts.

    Well, two of my kilts have "lifetime fit" guarantees from the maker - I just have to ship them to get them retailored, and I won't do that until I hit my goal weight of 185. So, it'll be about 6-8 weeks before I do that. I can't see paying more than the cost of the kilt to have someone do that to any of my Stillwater kilts - it's just not economical.

    In the meantime, I think I'm going to have to order one or two Stillwaters to keep me kilted.
