    I Did It!!!!!

    Well, the hard work paid off. Even with a blood clot and surgery I have lost 15 LBS 7% of my body fat.
    I can now officially fit into my Heritage of Wales Kilt which I bought 4 sizes smaller than I was.
    It only the very last hole in each of the buckles, but I managed it and I know that I can lose the rest and get back to the good shape I was in.

    Here are a few fuzzy pictures I took to celebrate.


    Here it is put together with a jumper (sweater) which was absolutely skin tight when I picked it up.



    And here is a pleat shot. Look at all those pleats. It actually has more pleats than my Military box pleat or my tank!




    The fabric is quite heavy and tough, but it is very comfortable and it looks good.
    I like this Kilt a lot!
