    Once I get these kilts, I am going to have to wait for a while on any more kilts. The incredible shinking waist project is underway, and I don't want to end up with kilts I need braces with to keep up. I'll have to make do with accessories. I have promised myself a tank when I reach my goal weight. Meanwhile I can dither over what the details of said tank will be. Leatherneck tartan is a given, however.

    Now that's a diet plan I might be able to keep! I only want to loose 25lbs, but just can't seem to do it. I always fall victim to depression and eat or the dreaded cheesecake fairy that keeps dropping them off at work <sigh>

    Not to hijack my own thread, but if you seriously want to lose the weight pm me.

    OK, so it's not Skype-enabled "watch me pleat," but here's a really badly lighted shot of Geoffrey's khaki fabric about to go under the scissors.

    And you thought we were kidding about the flamingo!

    Sorry if the view of sunshine and outside thermometer reading ~70F is upsetting to those of you in the Frozen North

    Man, again... I feel your pain. I realized I was getting bad when I tipped 420 two years ago. I now am down to 290, my legs and arms are cut and solid, but I can't seem to get rid of my gut!! I do 100 pushups a night, 150 situps, I hike, and am involved in two different styles of martial arts. I'm actually in really good shape! It's maddening! Ah well.

    OK- done hijacking.

    Crunch's my man the full situps work the upper body more than the gut.

    just curl up your shoulders off the floor and back.

    You can do all the crunches in the world, but if you aren't getting rid of the body fat, you just have a great six pack under a layer of fat. It is not possible to target fat loss at a specific part of the body. Tightening up the muscles can make it appear to do so, but the fat loss comes from body metabolism burning it, nothing else.

    Just to relate this to kilt wearing, less gut will make it a lot easier to wear a kilt well.
