    I'm there too! All my work pants are too big and look uber frumpy. I'm not to a point for buying new clothes yet. Lucky for me it's only my work clothes. I have so many jeans of so many sizes that I can wear jeans at any stage! But the work pants are killing me. I know it makes it noticeable that I've lost weight, but I also look like frump-zilla!!!!

    I also don't want to buy any clothes until I reach my goal weight...Luckily I'm fitting into a whole bunch of jeans I'd bought for my teen last yr. She didn't like them because they looked like mom jeans i.e., they aren't low waisted jeggings, so I've been using them in the interim. It's a great way to save money, see my progress, and not feel frumpy in too big clothes.

    Yup it's annoying.
    If you can sew, it's not too hard to take them in and inch or so all the way down the outer leg seam (the waistband can look messy but if you don't tuck things in you can get away with it. I'm sure it's not the way a proper dressmaker would do it, but it can buy you a bit of time.

    I also went to the Good Sammies (charity store) and found some work pants and skirts for $5 which got me through a few months till I was at the size I wanted to be.
