Damn you, MFP!

I could always wear a belt basically until it wore out. Then, after a few months of MFP, I had to toss my (perfectly good) belt onto the "donation" pile and buy a new belt. Now, a few months later, that belt is down to the smallest notch, and I'll probably have to buy ANOTHER new belt in a few weeks!

Hey, I ain't made of money, you know! ;-)

    When kids come to school with droopy pants, we get a zip-tie from a plastic bag to hold them up. It works. Cheap, too.

    Congrats!!

    @BJPCraig - if you live in the US, look for belts at places like TJMaxx, Marshalls or at online stores like sierratradingpost.com (and use the lowest to highest price) I am sure you can find something

    The great thing about making more holes in an existing belt is that it's a great visual reminder of your progress. I'm seeing how far around me I can get my belt - 5 extra holes so far.

    Aren't you afraid you're going to "lap" yourself and have the belt go around you twice?
