    Lost weight and kilts don't fit

    So I started following the diet in the Primal Blueprint on February 14, 2012 as I weighed 180 lbs. I weighed 145 lbs on June 1, 2012. I started training for triathlons starting at the end of March. I lost 5 inches off my waist and as a result none of my 14 kilts fitted anymore and I had to start wearing p@nts again. I found a tailor in Tucson, Arizona near Davis-Monathan Air Force Base that moved the inner strap and the two outer buckles for $12/kilt. After getting the first three back I am able to wear kilts at work again and my co-workers told me it was good to have Will back. I picked up another four that the tailor just altered so I only have another seven to go. Anyone of my fellow kilties in Tucson who needs a kilt adjusted can PM me for the name of the tailor.

    Does your tailor let out kilts also? I gained 30 pounds after my heart surgery. I need straps moved.

    Congrats on the weight loss, Will. I could stand lose a couple of pounds myself.

    Lord Eoin, Best wishes. Cheers to your recovery and wishing you good health.

    What a wonderful curse! So being brought in so much, are the pleats, etc, still in the right place?

    As long as you move the right and left straps the same amount, all that happens is that the pleats come a little further around the sides. I've lost 90 lbs, and my first made to measure kilt, an American Heritage Casual from USAK, now wraps about eight inches more than the day I got it (I added additional velcro) and still looks reasonable.
