Beltman would, I'm sure, shorten and finish the other end of the belt for you. Since it now can't be made longer, use that as a goal or objective, to see that you don't ever need a longer belt again.

Looks like they charge $20 per belt to shorten it

Buy a set of these on Amazon for $6.59.
Use a razor blade, straight edge and shoe polish to shorten and finish.

Great job! I'm down to the last notch on my belt after losing 50 lbs over the last two years.

Not without it's caveats though.

Been on a Proper Human Diet for the better part of 5 years now. When you can connect what you eat to how you feel then you begin to distinguish hunger from cravings. The hyper-palatable food industry has us by the short hairs. Perhaps even more important than lowering the metabolic dependency on carbohydrates may be the elimination of processed seed (vegetable) oils. I commend you on your fat loss. What is visible to others on the outside is dwarfed by the improvements on the inside. Carbs are not necessarily evil but should definitely be recreational use only. Consume real foods with as few ingredients as possible.

The two biggest threats to our way of life may be Inflation and.....Inflammation.

Congrats on dropping the weight! You are going in the right direction. Me on the other hand, I'm going the opposite way lol.

Three weeks down,
5,200 to go

So you're losing 5 lb./week? Your target is to lose 26,000 lbs? Perhaps a little ambitious, but congratulations anyway!

How are you measuring the calories? Aggressive reading of labels? An app? In reading labels, deciphering the per serving data without constant reference to a kitchen scale seems near impossible, even more difficult when eating recipes that have multiple ingredients.

contemplating keeping as is ,
a badge of of
honor ,
at least for another two holes

After 41 days did some math.
Averaged
Loss of 8 ounces per day
With only a little exercise.
20 pounds

Should attain my first goal weight in another 41 days
Another 20 pounds.

Showed my doctor my food log,
Have to cut my starches by 60 %
And cut sugary fruits by 3/4


He claimed that he was pleased with the progress

That's a lot of work. I have been slowly transitioning to a new lifestyle over the last 2 years as well. A healthy diet and regular cardio and weight lifting along with adopting more physical hobbies like mountain biking, hiking, and boxing.
At 44 I feel better than when I was 30.

Now:

Outstanding, bendable! I'm on the same journey and same path. Limit carbs, keep it simple, keep it fresh.

Congrats-that is terrific!

I lost a tooth last year and got an implant. Short story is that every month or so after a procedure, I was on clear liquids for two days, then soups for three days, then soft foods. I lost 23 lbs in six months. I'm still able too keep it off by "fasting" every so often. Went from 192 to 172.

50 pounds of weight loss as of last Thursday.

Now there are extra five holes in my Beltman belt.

Am hoping he'll send me a new belt when I get to 100 pound loss

Weighed in today.

Down 75 pounds since 6 / 2.

100 pounds loss for the year may be possable

OUTSTANDING Sir!

It must feel good to be increasingly 'bendable'...

Picking up broads should be a piece of cake now. Err, I mean easy as pie.

skip it

Oh , I still look like Shrek,
Don't get me wrong.

And then only when I use my on air voice
