    When you can slip them over your hips without unbuttoning. Lol. At a dog park, I had dog jump on me and pull my skirt down. Don't let this happen to you. Freakin' embarrassing :)

    Ha, I once lost my pants wiping out on a ski slope. It was both embarrassing and cold. Taught me the importance of properly sized pants, or at least, a properly sized belt!

    LOL! Brrrr! A belt is always a good idea and nice underwear. I was wearing pretty undies, still embarrassing as hell.

    Properly sized sweat pants are not to be neglected either... Them squats are deadly to oversized pants. :flushed:

    When losing and at a transition size I was traveling. The local airport just put in a new security screening device that required I remove my belt and put my hands over my head-I was not prepared. Luckily, my pants did not fall down during the scan; but had I moved even a little they easily could have!

    Ah, yeah, I have to be very careful about what pants I wear when I'm flying, for just that reason. Rather than buy lots of pants in each new size I reach, I buy one in each new size, and continue to wear the pants for the next two larger sizes as well. Whichever ones are +4 inches from my current size can be quite tricky to keep up unaided.

    I had a pair of dress shorts I wore to work and when I first got them I was wearing spanx under them. I wore them not long ago it was to the point where they hung low and the *kitten* was sagging (I have a huge bum so this never happens). They have now gone to live in the top cupboard for when I get round to cleaning out my wardrobe.

    Thrift stores are great for cheap jeans and pants to wear while you're in between sizes and still have weight to lose. I found some great ones that got me through for just a few bucks.

    I'm glad that all worked out for you..

    But if you gotta lose pants I suppose weightloss is a great enough reason haha

    This is what I expecting when I opened this thread!

    Awesome feeling, OP! I love being able to pull my biggest pants off and on without the zipper/button being undone.

    A belt can cover you for a long time if there's belt loops. In fact, my smallest shorts are size 16 and I now wear a 10... so I'm belting everything because I still have 10-20 lbs to lose.

    At first it was really fun & my friend gave me her hand me downs which made it so easy. That was when I went from a 12 to a 10 and then again from a 10 to an 8. Now the 8s are all getting huge and it's not as fun because I actually have to shop. And I planned on stopping at size 6 but now I'm not so sure that will work out with my weight goal since the sizes went down faster than I anticipated. Anyway, for the first time this week it began to feel like a lot of pressure to make good decisions, stick to a budget & pull together a professional appearance. That's a lot harder! I like having a small wardrobe but the constant turnover has gotten to me. My jackets are the same and a few of my tops. But everything else has completely changed three times over. I don't feel like I have a 'look' anymore or a fashion point of view. It's unsettling.

    Maybe once you shop and get the things you like you'll feel more you again

    I can fit into pants for 1 to 12 year olds. It's a strange feeling because seriously? I'm still hovering around a US size 4 or 6.

    I'm a little stressed by this thought too. Shopping for smaller clothes is so much fun! But it's taken me years to develop my wardrobe, buying nice pieces here and there. Now I'm really worried about eventually having to replace so much. Oh well, first-world problems! Lol
