Results I can actually see in a belt.

Slow weight loss is not something that is very noticeable except for on the scale. A few months ago, I had to buy a new belt, because in an attempt to cut a new hole in my old one, I cut it right in half. So this new belt I have is the double hole kind and the entire belt is made of the these double holes. (it's 2 vertical holes with the 2 prongs). So when I bought the belt, it is a size 26, I could only fit it to the 2nd notch. Over the months, I've noticed that I've had to tighten it. First to the 3rd notch, then the 4th, now I'm on the 5th. This morning when I got dressed, I tightened my belt like I always do, without really noticing. I realized it felt a little tighter than usual so I was a little upset at first, but then I noticed that I was on the 6th notch! So without even thinking about it, I was able to tighten it that far, however, it didn't feel as comfortable as the 5th one. The 5th notch used to feel that way. I can't wait til I can get even further!

So that's my belt story. Just thought I'd share it with anyone who feels like reading it! Have a great day and keep tightening those belts!! :flowerforyou:

    that's so awesome! it's nice to have something that you can really see the results of your efforts. keep up the good work! hopefully you'll have to buy a new belt again because this one will have to much belt hangover to wear. :bigsmile:

    Congrats.
    I'm also ready to make my 2nd new hole in my belt.

    P.S. Easy way to make a new hole, use a cordless drill with small bit, if one is available.

    My belt is about the only place I can see my progress.
    My friends and family tell me I look great, but I see myself all day everyday, and I'm still in pretty much the same size, which was discouraging until I put on the same belt I've been wearing for a few years.

    The first couple of holes were worn and frayed from where I was bigger for so long. Now I can go to about the 4th or 5th notches on it, it feels good!
