Congrats on the good news! That is amazingly hard to do, especially in modern society (even harder in the American South, land of the deep frier- much like Scotland actually, only we use it all the time on everything). I'm very happy for you.
Now, losing it is the first half of the battle. MAINTAINING the new weight is the hard part. My father and I were both 260 or so and we both decided to try different diets. In a while be both got to about 185-190. Several years later, I am maintaining 195 or so. He is back to 240s and 42-44 inch waist. I feel your excitement and pain.
I'm not sure if my advise could help, but I cut out 2-3 LITERS of COCA-COLA a DAY. THAT made a HUGE difference in my caloric intake. Each "diet" MUST be tailored to the individual so it will be appropriate and the accompanying lifestyle change must be able to be maintained even with the "favorites" and "weaknesses" of each.
, now back to Caradoc
Now, for the second part, the problem . . .
At least you have some belted plaids to get you through the hard times until everything stablizes. The tailor-made worsted ones are worth the retailoring to get them to fit. It may be a bit more complicated for an 8 yarder tank, due to the wiast cutouts, but a completant kilt retailor expert could overcome that most likely. As for the Stiillwaters and any other "pre-sized" kilts, I'd say sell them off to a fellow X Marker (I see the sale section in your future) and reinvest the money into new ones.
Like no one saw that advise coming . . .:rolleyes:
Cloves, I LOVE your signature line: "Inside me is a thin woman screaming to get out. But I can usually shut the b*tch up with chocolate!"
I can identify. OH I LOVE M&Ms and DARK chocolate! What was I talking about:confused:
