Major Success but a Revolting Development

Have you considered moving the straps on your kilt, to get them to fit?
It’s relatively easy.

If I had only lost a couple of inches, that would be a good option, but I have lost over six inches in my waist.

Well, the example Barb T. gives in “The Art of Kiltmaking”, was for someone that had lost ten inches. Just saying… might be worth giving it a try.

Congratulations! That is a tough thing to be persistent enough to lose that much.

It helped that I couldn't go out to eat very much.

Good on you. A few years back I dropped about 110 lbs. and it was the best thing I ever did. It meant that I went from 5 kilts to none, but it was completely worth it. I feel so much better. I'm just starting to rebuild my kilt collection, and I'm doing by buying much higher quality (and cost) kilts. At least partially to give me the incentive to never put it back on.

Lockdown part two was hard for me. I back-slid a bit and put on about 20lbs. I've worked most of that back off, but it was a bit of an eye-opener for me. Keeping at a healthy weight is going to be a life-long project for me. Being complacent will lead me right back to where I was.

And I really don't want to be there again.

Stay strong and keep at it.

Congrautulations to those who have lost weight. Love some advice because I've started to use the buckle extenders and need to lose 30lbs.

There used to be a lovely lady in Belfast who could remake a kilt where moving the buckles was not sufficient, but sadly she passed away.
