Most of us just eat too much. Cutting down the amount and removing some things altogether will drop many pounds without doing much else. I stopped drinking sodas and replaced them with plain water. Increasing water intake gets the kidneys working and takes a load off of the liver so it can function better. All that helps you drop a few pounds. I also reduced the amount of fast food (hamburgers and fries) I consume for lunch. Replaced them with a fruit lunch. Now that spring has arrived I am taking the dog for a 1-mile walk at least every other day. I was at 186 pounds with 39" around the belly. My Union Kilt was ordered as a 38". It was a little loose so other kilts have been a size 36". A tape measure around the middle still shows 39" but the 36" kilt feel about right. I have had to tighten up the straps and belt on the 38" kilt. I think some fat has been reduced from the sides. My weight is now 177. The hard part is pulling that belly in. My hips are 35". Now I just need to stop eating that nightly dish of ice cream and piece of pie for dinner.

Good luck with your weight loss
