Dropped two notches on my belt over the last 4 months and the one I’m on now is so annoying 😭 Feels good to feel better about myself though.

    Congratulations!!

    When I was losing weight, I found that a Grip 6 nylon belt with infinite adjustability (no holes) was great. I could set it wherever I needed it to keep my now-baggy pants from falling down.

      I have used these belts for years and they’re great. Theyre so simple because they’re a friction hold and i love that. Even bought one for my dad years ago.

      For what it’s worth, this also works well if you want to lie to yourself about how much weight you’ve gained.

      That’s probably not the healthiest approach, though.

      As an alternative, I once was wearing a no name brand one of these at work and it simply broke. I spent the rest of the day with an extension cord tied around my waist. It was also adjustable and, as a bonus, all of my customers of the day got a kick out of it.

      If you’re walking to the store but haven’t gotten there yet, did you fail? No.

      Losing weight isn’t a goal, it’s one mile marker. You’re not done when you get there. You then need to learn how to be a skinny person and live that life forever.

      It’s a long walk till the day you die. Keep walking. You’ll get there.

      And look up mikeneedsaplan. Good fellow.

    You can fix this by tying an onion to your belt, which is a style.

    If you don’t have an onion, I recommend making a stew that blinds you for one day.

    That’s awesome. A close friend is doing similar stuff right now and I hope you both are happy to have this specific issue. You absolutely should feel good about yourself!

      Mine keeps undoing itself, somehow the pin goes behind the buckle.

      Going back to leather probably.
