Almost sad to say that the fabulous vintage belt my mother gave me is getting too big. It was borderline too small when I received it!

    Congratulations!

    Also, if you have a great shoe repair place in town, they might be able to cut your belt if you need that, and/or add new holes to it. So you won't need to get rid of it.

    woohoo! Good work!

    I have found that NSV are always a double-edged sword. YAY--smaller clothes--BOO for spending money. YAY for ring size shrinking--BOO for rings all getting too big. That kind of thing. :ohwell:

    I feel your pain :-( I have tons of suits and slacks I love that are way to big now and it's very noticeable. Most of them were my pre-weight gain suits too :-(

    Great job on your weight loss.

    Not vintage, but had a job interview a month ago. Bought a brand new belt and the sales clerk wouldn't let me get the belt smaller she said it didn't look right, well the new belt that I used the middle hole, is now the belt that I use the last hole. If I had bought the smaller one, I would have gone to the middle now.

    yeah I was pounding holes into belts at about 40 lbs lost then 50lb then 60 and at 70 I just said screw it and bought a tactical tdu belt that works great because it has a velcro lining that goes from like 38 to 44 and Im borderline 42 right now so its perfect.
