I have to say, I'm in the opposite camp and extremly happy about it!

I'm been trying my hardest to lose weight since I put on a huge amount after my last surgery and I'm finally winning that battle. Around Christmas time I was a 41" waist and pushing towards a 42". But now I'm down to a 38" and continuing to head lower. Bad thing is that some of my kilts are now too lose! But I figure that's a good problem to have.
