loosing weight and bogu

[Gaucho]

Hi all, I am a beginner at Kendo, 3 months only, when I started I was overweight and out of shape, but I am improving very slowly and painfully. My question is the following if I purchase a bogu in the next 5 months and I am still loosing weight would that affect how the bogu is going to fit, and if it does is it a big deal or not? I know that the opposite is true that when you grow you definitely need to buy a bigger bogu. The obvious answer is do not buy one until you loose all the weight. Any other suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

This really depends on how much overweight you are and how much you are going to lose. But, if you're going to be within 20lbs of your weight right now, or even 30, I don't think it will be a problem. I've dropped over 20 lbs since i started doing kendo, and my bogu fits me just fine still.
