I bought a belt a few years ago to show off a belt buckle my wife had bought me as a gag gift. I thought it was funny so I wore it a lot. The belt was a size large (38"-40") and I wore it on the 4th of 7 holes. I've continued to wear it through my weight loss progression and just this morning had to add my 6th hole to the belt. At this point it wraps over 1/3rd the way around me! I recently bought new jeans/shorts and they are size 32 with a little room to spare (I couldn't quite get into the 30's)


I went a head and weighed myself (I try not to do it too often) and I'm down to 168lb from 237lb. I have to say I'm pretty happy so far. Now to get rid of this last bit of belly and I'll be a happy, happy man.

    Way to go!! That's gotta feel great!! Sounds like you should treat yourself to a new fun belt, of course keeping the old one around for periodic measurement! :drinker:

    I'm going to keep this one for the nostalgic value of it. Well, that and I get a kick out of putting on my belt and wrapping it thru the belt loops on the back of my pants. It's a reminder of where I've been and where I want to be. Honestly this is probably the last hole that will be put in because I just can't see myself losing any more from that area. I'm honestly surprised I've lost as much as I did because my belly has always started just above my waist line. At 5'8" I'm well within "normal" waist line range. Just a little more belly to lose.
