This morning I was getting dressed for work (I'm a guy, btw), and I was putting my belt on. It's still dark out as I come in early.

I kept fumbling around trying to poke the metal shaft (does that thing have a name?) into the belt hole. I was actually getting frustrated and had to turn the light on to see what the problem was. Turns out I had it cinched up past the last hole!

It's a small thing but it really made by day. 2 weeks post op, it was the first "real" example of my weight loss.

I guess I need to go buy another belt. :thumbup:

haha I did that just last weekend! I gotta go get a new belt too :thumbup: It's fun to watch it go down one notch at a time.

I love NSV's

Congratulations! That's an awesome NSV!

Congratulations . . . I had to poke a couple of new holes myself, lol.

I never like belts before. I acutally had to go get one!!

Congrats to all of us with new belts.

PS: ticker is wrong

Congrats on your first NSV (non scale victory) - that is awesome. The cost of surgery is nothing compared to all the new clothes and belts you will have to buy now. Keep up the good work!:thumbup:

That is exciting!! I stopped wearing belts as my waist in the morning tends to be quite different from my waist in the evening so I wear clothes that give... those don't generally have belts loops.

I look forward to going belt shopping someday!!

wow i cant wait till i am comfy enough to wear a nice shiny belt......congrats to u....

Belts were my new fashion accessory when I began this journey. I could wear blouses a lot longer when I cinched the waist (imagine. Me, with a waist!!) with a new belt. Otherwise, I just looked too sloppy for business.

P.S. I have NO idea what the name of the belt buckle pokey-part is; I'm now on a mission to find out.

Congrats of needing a new belt,I never wore a belt but now may need a rope to hold my pants on as I refuse to keeping buying alot of new clothes on my trip down.

That is sooo COOL!!!!

Take an ice pick, an old board and poke some more holes in it to be able to wear it longer. Unless of course you REALLY need a new belt!

PS> I don't know the name for the little metal pokey thing either! Asked DH and he has no clue either!
