    Although I think this would be a great idea, knowing my wife, I think she just wants to forget about the "before" look and bask in the current "after" look. Since the time I have posted, she has gone from a size 12 to a size 6, lost almost 35 lbs. So, the her older tartan skirts either get altered or sold for new ones. She plans to lose about another 10 lbs in next month or so. So proud of her accomplishment. ALMOST a pleasure to purchase some new Scottish Ladies Wear for her. CHEERS.

    I've lost 67 pounds in the last year so I've chosen to take the route of selling my larger kilts and reinvesting in smaller ones.

    Only...hopefully, I'm not done losing weight yet. Just moved from morbidly obese to obese. More to go. Wanna stabilize at the healthy weight before doing any new kilts.

    Whatever that weight turns out to be will talk to my kilt maker about whether reducing the remaining kilts in my clan tartans is worth it.

    Being thin feels better than anything tastes!
