So- another alternative to the heavy wool hose are from Sock Dreams- http://www.sockdreams.com/products/s...rib-knee-highs They haven't got a good turnover, so you would need a pair of Big Mikey's hose toppers or traditional garter ties, but they look really nice and are nice and cool! And they have lots of stretch for those of us with huge calves!
My own weight loss plan is along those lines. Diet, and two karate classes a week. I've been at the diet a month, taken my belts in two inches. Not sure if it's me losing weight or the belt stretching, but encouraging nevertheless.
The karate I've been at considerably longer
