I pulled out a pair of jeans yesterday that I wear occasionally. I haven't worn them in a while because when I went to cinch the belt up it didn't fit in the last hole that I had previously punched in the belt, no, I needed to move another 5 inches to the right to close the thing!

That made me feel awesome and kind of bad at the same time, it's a nice belt but the gap between holes will look foolish :)

    Woohoo! Time to get a new belt. :)

    I'd keep the old one. Then you can take some pictures later that show how you moved from notch to notch. I have a belt that has holes all the way around it, and I plan to wear it all the way down to my goal weight so I can show the progression.

    Example:

    *That's not my belt, but I have the same kind.

    I have the same belt and it is amazing how many loops i have moved in, it has only been two months and im going to wear until I've reached my goal

    If it's a really good belt and you basically like it, take it to a shoe repair shop. They can remove the buckle, take some length off that end and re-attach the buckle. Maybe charge a couple of bucks, but that's cheap compared to new leather belts.

    Mostly, good for you on the smaller waist. You've been working hard and deserve the best!

    It is a nice one from LL Bean, I certainly am not going to throw it out, something can probably done with it. I would rather not ever have to wear it again though, that I am certain of
