Just after WLS the wife got me a new belt. She was sick of my old one with the stretched holes and it bent all up to wrap around my rotund belly. I started out in the third hole, just enough left to tuck under the belt buckle and touch the first belt loop on most pants. Yesterday I had to punch two more holes in it and found the LAST hole was comfortable.

The belt now wraps half way around me and touches the MIDDLE BELT LOOP in my slacks in the BACK. Yes, my belt wraps 1 1/2 times around me. Wow! I NEVER thought I'd see the day.

BTW: Size 36 slacks are getting baggy, maybe time for some 34s?

LOL Nice! The boomerang belt. That had to feel great to poke new holes, congrats man your rockin it.

What a great visual of how many inches you've lost. Awesome!

Haha, that sounds like my belt. I have cracks around the holes in my belt. They really don't like being stressed, lol. Can't wait to buy a new belt!

Awesome! Congrats!!!!!!

very nice! I think this thread should have pics

Awesome NSV! I haven't worn a belt in so long . . . that's one of my mini-goals . . . to be thin enough to be comfy in a TUCKED-IN shirt with a belt!! No more mumu shirts for me!

That is so cool! I bought a western belt at the thrift store, all tooled leather and cool buckle... I bought it for the buckle because the thing was just too small to even get the first hole in the buckle... well, I can wear it now! I'm so glad I didn't throw the leather part away! congrats man!

What a good feeling that is, congrats! I didn't even wear belts anymore because I couldn't find one that fit. Now there are tons of options!

I love it!! Um Rootman, time for a new belt. but I would keep that one as a trophy though, maybe bronze it like baby shoes or something LOL.

Time to shop, Rootman! Congrats!

Hmm, belts. I haven't worn a belt since the late 80s when we took the part that you put through the loops after you buckled and instead of going through the loops we would tuck it through top of the belt and let it hang down in the front. Anybody remember that? I know I'm not describing it well. I guess I can start looking at clothes with belts now. Cool!

Congrats Rootman! Better go pick yourself a new belt before the wife gets one for you - the wrap around belt end doesn't sound flattering :-)
