Let me tag along on the question.....

I have lost five inches (# 6 appears to be comming fast).. ALL my kilts fit horribly. Will a simple buckle move take care of this?

My secret?
I've switched to ice water over sugared carbonated water (Even "diet")
I have quit drinking alcohol on "school" nights (work nights)
I now make certain to get 7.5 to 8 hours sleep every night.

Thats all I have done and have lost 30 pounds and four inches in the last 12 months.

I can now put an arm down the waistband of my "skinny" pants. When I remove my kilt belt the kilt hits the floor with no hinderance.

I have a small fortune invested in my kilts and would like to save them.
