Dropped two notches on my belt over the last 4 months and the one I’m on now is so annoying 😭 Feels good to feel better about myself though.

    Congratulations!!

    When I was losing weight, I found that a Grip 6 nylon belt with infinite adjustability (no holes) was great. I could set it wherever I needed it to keep my now-baggy pants from falling down.

      I have used these belts for years and they’re great. Theyre so simple because they’re a friction hold and i love that. Even bought one for my dad years ago.

    That’s awesome. A close friend is doing similar stuff right now and I hope you both are happy to have this specific issue. You absolutely should feel good about yourself!

    If you have a swiss army knife with one, use the awl to punch a new hole in the belt. Worked great for me.

      Well, if you have an awl handy you could always just make new notches. That’s what I did when I had a belt that didn’t have a hole at the right spacing for me.

    My belt is the type that has grooves on it and you can adjust the buckle in smaller increments compared to the typical holes. It’s also great for avoiding creases when using a standard buckle.
