    Find a tailor or someone who sews. It's easy to take in pants a wee bit.

    I can relate. I was just complaining about this today. All my shorts look ridiculous on me right now. I have no choice but to wear a belt and the extra fabric bunches up and looks really weird. But, as others have said, it's kind of a good feeling too. :) My 18 year old came home from a trip to Walmart the other day and was really excited to have found $2 sweatpants on a clearance rack. She bought me a pair in size Large. I felt really sad that she bought me something that would be way too small. She kept encouraging me to try them on because she was sure they would fit. I finally said, "fine, I'll try them on." They fit. I couldn't believe it. The last pair of sweat pants I bought were size 2x.

    I hear you loudly. I hate how belts make a crinkle pleat and makes the pants look baggy anyway. I've bought cheap pants from the equivalent of Walmart until I get to my goal cause working in an office i wear suits and at $500 a pop plus hemming, it adds up. I also hae those elastic type trousers but the elastic is hidden in the waste band so they don;t look so much like track pants.

    The joys of getting into shape eh. Enjoy the end result :o)

    When I started this quest I was wearing size 40 pants and they were kinda snug. The past few weeks I have been wearing size 38 pants. Now the 38 is falling down.

    Having to keep pulling up my pants is really, really annoying. At the same time, as annoying as it is, it also makes me smile a little. Just a little, it's still really annoying.

    Just buy smaller pants you say? Yeah, well, that starts adding up to real money pretty quickly ya know. I've only had the ones that are falling down today for a couple of weeks for crying out loud. I haven't got my money's worth out them yet (I hate wearing cheap clothing).

    I'm thinking that, until I get down to my goal weight, I'm going to have to start buying those pants with the stretchy waistbands so I can wear them for a while.

    Anyway, thanks MFP and FitBit, this stuff actually works!

    buy a new belt instead of pants ;) it'll stick with ya longer, n gotta say pants falling off sounds like a pretty good reason to complain, but good in general as well. Way to go!
    Also.. my fiance gets pants that have a couple of buttons inside them.. it's kinda like the kids adjustable waistbands.. might look for those next time u get pants, may stick with u a little longer lol

    What you don't spend at McDonalds anymore, you can keep aside for new clothes, haha =]

    Every time I think of getting fast food I put $20 in to my savings =]

    Been there! Its super annoying to have to pull up your pants all the time. But it's so rewarding when you can go try on a smaller size that never would have fit before. I second what people have already said and go the Goodwill route till you can reach your goal. I've found some really nice pants there recently. Name brand and everything, and they didn't cost me more than $10 a pair. Worth the trip if they have what you like!

    I may check out Goodwill if I can find one that I can park my truck close enough to walk there.

    I hate paying for all the new bra's my wife needs (she's lost 51 lbs.) ...LOL.
    Apparently you can't buy those used...or shouldn't.

    I can understand how that can be annoying, but in all honesty, EMBRACE IT! Stop complaining and be proud when you donate/sell your "too big to wear clothes"!!!!

    I only wish I can get there sooner!

    All the shorts and pants I bought in the last four or six months have been from Goodwill.

    When I level off, I will resume shopping at Wal-mart and Target. LOL

    By the way, went from darn-near 40 down to 32.
