Kilts make you watch the old waistline.

[Mipi]

I'm watching ny waist line so closely, that I have to take it in for second time

[sathor]

I think that's your first problem right there... p@nts.

like hell i'll ride my bike in a kilt

[McClef]

I am diabetic and don't seem to gain or lose much either way so all my kilts fit and have so far failed to shrink in the wardrobe.

$850 ...... I can't even imagine that. Mine are all SWK's.

If my memory is correct, that includes exchange. The Canuckistanian dollar, affectionately known as the loonie, was rather weak at the time- our previous government held the value down until the loonie almost drowned.

The loonie. I remember one of Robin Williams's standup routines where he says something to the sort of "how can you take an economic crisis seriously with a name like that?" - something like that anyway. Not making fun of Canada. That just came to mind.

So called because of the bird, a Common Loon, depicted on our dollar coin. Anything else is editorializing. Which I would never do.

Didn't know that. That does shed some light on why Canadian currency is named such. Thanks!

I can barely squeeze into my best kilt; a beauty in Colquhoun tartan handmade by Len Penrose, that kilt is a work of art, and not inexpensive.

Started a workout regimen: pushups, freeweights. Walking whenever I can during my brakes at work. And I've cut down my number of pops / sodas during the day.

Let's cross our fingers.

You'll totally make it.

Just cutting out soda from you diet can do AMAZING things, especially with a little light exercise.


I managed to drop 25lbs by cutting out junk and either swimming or light lifting 3 times a week. So far I've kept it off for six months (which is a record ).

I'm currently planning on 'the big push' for the last 9 pounds I want to lose.

Interesting that you talk about eliminating soda...we sometimes forget just how much of the stuff we consume and how it's been insinuated into our diets even though it's totally unnecessary.

Somewhere back there they switched over from cane sugar to corn sugar and I've always thought that was a real dietary turning point for us. I certainly don't excuse the "diet pop" crew, either, since that doesn't seem to make any visible difference in the size of the folks I see drinking it.

Never thought I'd be doing it but now the only thing in the fridge is canned lime flavored soda water...used to hate it, now it's a staple. There's a great brand of canned and unsweetened green tea that you find in sushi shops but damned if I can find it in any of the stores...I'd be buying cases of it if I could find it.

I've tried to systematically eliminate any corn sweetener in the household. It's everywhere these days, though...just look at the ingredients on a jar of spaghetti sauce, for example...I've found the brands that don't have it, though. Sometimes I just buy the cans of diced tomato and cook it with some garlic and basil and a BIT of sugar (it's cane sugar)...but I'm firmly convinced that the corn sweetener is the enemy!

Eat good stuff and not too much of it.

Best
