Nah. I have to get one made. Not sure of my Scottish ancestry but my last name is Fong. We have a tartan for my home Province, so I'm looking at getting one made of that.

The haggis was great and the Scotch even better.

Week 3 results: Still at 250lbs. No loss, no gain. Oh, well...
This makes me all the more motivated to get active. Have had some pretty decent exercise the last two days. Hope to keep it up. Gotta break into the 240s this week. No more slacking.

Let me know if you want some names of good kiltmakers. Or if you just want to get a cheaper alternative, I can point you in that direction as well.

No gain is still success. Not great success, but some nonetheless.

Quality kilts and full Scottish uniforms can get expensive. My marching band outfit (we were the Scotland High School Fighting Scots) cost almost $2,000 for the whole outfit, and I'm sure they can get up even higher than that.

If you're looking for a full 8-9 yard knife pleated 16oz wool kilt and accessories it sure can get costly. With the popularity of the kilt growing, there are other tartan materials available to bring the cost down. I won't buy a hand-sewn wool kilt until I reach my goal weight but I do have kilts that are less than $150 that I wear for everyday use.

Sorry to hijack the thread. I love kilts.

Nice job brother... keep it up!!!

Had tacos for dinner last night. Kept my portions reasonable.

Only got to work out for about 30 minutes at the gym this morning. The bathroom was locked and I had to go back to the house

I did run for the whole time though. My endurance is definitely getting better. At this time last year I was smoking cigarettes and I bet I couldn't have run for 5 minutes without stopping.

Breakfast this morning was the usual Fiber One
Lunch is a tossed salad with some leftover filet slices
Dinner is undecided

Have a great healthy day gents.

I've been eating more left over Thai. Once I have supper that will be all three meals today.

No formal exercise, but I spent a few hours tearing down a couple of walls in my brother's basement.

I bet that was worth it.

Went and had supper at my parents' house. Ate too much, but I only had a bowl of oatmeal since I got up this morning. Hopefully it'll balance itself out. Walked 1 mile this evening. Hope to go a couple more before bed.
