I’m on my 3rd belt and need to buy another one
Since December 14, 2007 Ive dropped 72 pounds.
I held onto a pair of 34 regular cut jeans and left the belt on them in the hope that one day that I could wear them again.
I gave them a try. They fit great but the belt that is on them is too big and I ran out of holes in it.
Gonna reward myself with another belt.
Here is my advice to those out there who are losing weight and wasting money buying new smaller clothes that they have to give up as they continue to lose weight.
Check out your local thrift stores. Saved me a fortune in buying new clothes and I get the top makes such as Ralph Loren, Eddie Bauer, Armani, Pierre Cardin, Dockers…etc.
With our current ecomomy, the popularity in thrift store shopping has increased to over 30%.
I also got a lot of other cool stuff such as the AB roller. At first it looked like a joke but it works great.
I also picked up a pair of solid metal 25 lb dumb bells for home use for only 5 bucks!
Check out your local thrift stores.
They are definately worth a look.

Great advice. I kinda went on a clothing bender after I got below 200 & bought a bunch of 34 waist jeans……which are now too big! LOL So now I’m only buying what is on clearance or at a thrift store.
Ironically, my new leather belt came from a thrift store! $3!
