How do you make your pants fit right while losing weight?

I have the same problem and usually end up wearing my clothes too loose until I go down a size. Sometimes wearing a belt or washing my clothes in hot water to shrink them a bit helps. I have no idea if this as-seen-on-tv stuff works, but I've been curious and it may be worth a try.
The first thing I saw is called Style Snaps, where you can adjust hem of your pants. Here is a link where a TV station tried them out http://www.wvec.com/news/local/Does-it-work-Style-Snaps-115025199.html
Then there is also "The Perfect Button" where you can add a tighter button to your pants. https://www.asseenontv.com/prod-pages/perfect_fit_button_ood_ontv.html
The above options are probably great ideas however, you could save a few dollars by just moving the botton on your pants over an inch or two. And for your pants hem - masking tape?? Or just fold them up and put a couple stitched around (of course, if you don't sew you may want to find a friend who can help with that!)
Good luck and congrats on the loss!!0 -

That's hilarious! I threatened to take my pants clean off today because I just can't get them to stay up!0 -
I found this great device that tightens your pants by twisting it. It's called Cranky Pants, basically a small crank for your waistband. I use it all the time and it is comfortable.
You can see it at www. crankyourpants.com0 -
I've been tightening my belt...but then it makes the front all bunched up...not what I'm going for! So I have been folding the waist over a couple of times. Works for now. I also plan to get new pants at thrift stores until I reach my goal.0
