    I have the same problem. I have the best luck with Worthington modern fit trousers from JCPenney. Not too expensive, and they are available in different lengths.

    Congrats on your terrific progress!

    Shop around with brands. Ive found some at Maurices that are a little better! My hips fill out mine and my poor little butt can get lost in the pants LOL. But at least slacks are supposed to be looser in the butt and thigh area ;) good luck shopping!

    Congratulations on losing 50lbs! That's fabulous! Have you tried wearing one of those tank tops that suck your gut in? Sometimes they help enough to smooth things out so that you're more comfortable. You just had a little munchkin, and sometimes our abs are the last ones to play nice after being stretched out for almost 10 months.

    This is a wonderful idea. Thank you!!!

    Or try spanx... LOVE THEM!! They have all kinds of shape wear... Kinda pricey, but so worth the investment.. I wear them with jeans, dresses, they make leggings, skirts, tops, & workout gear... No bulge or panty lines <
    HATE SEEING PANTY LINES.... LOL...

    Skirts and dresses -- show off those new legs!

    Are these jeans or work pants? Where are you buying them from? I have found that changing brands may help.

    Jeans are usually ok, it's work pants I have most of the problem with.

    Try a different store. I used to buy my work pants at JC Penney. I started having that problem where in order to fit my waist, they were enormous on my legs! I now get my work pants at New York and Company, and love how they fit!

    Wear more skirts for the time being? I got nothing...

    I was thinking skirts/dresses -- skirts are easier to alter on the way down --

    Not only that, you can use them longer while you're losing weight and not have to drop so much $$ on new clothing because they are so much easier to adjust to fit your waist, as opposed to your whole lower body.

    ok so obviously people are not reading the comments cause they all keep commenting about jeans and you said a few times that it is for work pants...BUT anyway....I am not sure if they make tummy control pants in work pants like they do in jeans but maybe you could do an internet search for tummy control dress pants? or like some others said try some shape wear or girdles till you get it all toned up the way you like it. Some underwear you can buy has tummy control. They might not be sexy but they might be good for wearing under work pants..

    I've bought some from the Maidenform outlet that were really good. I bought two from Target that weren't very expensive and still do the job.

    Old Navy jeans seems to have a style for everyone's size. Also, at Express. I have a problem finding jeans because I am 5'0 , so I can wear petites or jrs, but I feel like I look fat when I wear them. Even the "short" kind of jeans are a little long for me. I like "Joe's Jeans" brand. :) Kind of expensive, but worth it.

    Okay, so I tried to read through most of the replies in order not to repeat the answer but the responses regarding shapewear is the way to go. I'm in Toronto so I don't know if you have Reitmans where you are. They have a line of work pants and jeans that are elastic in the waist and hold you firm in the center. So you can show off the slim legs and minimized waist. I had the same problem...stressing on the HAD. :drinker:
