Rings indicate a stretchy belt

In the pic it looks like they’re loosening the belt and not tightening

I had to add new holes onto my belt because it was getting too stretched out and slack.

Needing a new belt going the other direction felt like a huge win.

Me too. On the inside thankfully. I did get a tad large there for a bit.

What method did you use to get to need new holes when most of the world is going in the other direction?

it’s just calories in vs calories out. A better diet paired with more exercise.

Get an idea of how many calories you burn in a day (you can search for a BMR calculator to give you a ballpark), and eat less than that. I started going on runs, and eating a slightly healthier diet.

Just string two belts together like you do with zip ties when one isn’t long enough.

This is why I’ve switched to suspenders

My dad wore suspenders to work for years. I’m beginning to understand why. I get tired of having to constantly readjust my pants. And that’s with a belt.

This is why I switched to ratchet straps

I have been thinking of switching. Suspenders make way more sense. With a belt, my pants still fall down unless I have the belt so tight it cuts off circulation. It’s just cinching the pants around my waist and movement (such as going from standing to sitting and vice versa) can cause them to slip. But suspenders literally hold them up from your shoulders. Ain’t no way they’ll slip.

After two days I finally get that you’re not talking about non existent rings around the belt holes but are talking about the darker buckle lines on the belt that are inbetween the belt holes.
