Mine are slightly adjustable, but not a whole lot. Depending on how much you've gained, the kilt straps and sit-ups might have to meet halfway. Good luck!

I'd fall out for a three mile run immediately. Follow that up with all the situps you can do in 2 minutes, and al the pullups you can do, period.
That worked when I was in the Corps.
Your kilt will adjust some, but 2" is a good bit. Kerr the Walker gave good advice. It'll probably go on and be worn, but it may be pretty snug around the middle.

Luckily... I have a set of 'extender' straps that I can sell you now!

To answer your questions- yes, and yes. Kilts are somwhat adjustable, but like me, you need to lay your chubby bum on the floor and do situps. I do 150 a day, and it has done me a world of good. A nice pushup regimen is also good.

For my money, the Combat Conditioning program by Matt Furey is the best routine out there. All bodyweight calisthenics done either in the gym or at home. 15 minutes/day and you'll be trim in no time at all.

Oh please. This is horrible advice. I will do anything for the perfect body except eat right and exercise.

You gained weight while they were making your kilt?? Were they shearing the sheep themselves??? Who did you order it from??? Try the C-Food diet, if you C food,don't eat it,lol. You spent good money for the kilt, starvation is FREE.

Start the sit-ups, if you go too far you can always have a couple of cheeseburgers later.
Also know - if its a wool kilt, it will be a tad tight the first couple of times you strap it on - but it will loosen a bit of wear.
Oh yeah, Congratulations on your new kilt!

That gave me palpitations just from reading it!
Try to lose the inches. Your kilt will be a bit adjustable, but it won't sit quite right if you have it out to its limits. The kilt was made to your earlier dimensions, try to get back there, perhaps just for your health's sake!
