Hey Jericho! Have you thought about investing in some suspenders? I'm sure that they would be much more comfortable, and your pants wouldn't fall off. If you didn't want anyone to see them, you could just wear them over a t-shirt and then pull on your regular shirt over them. Personally though, I like suspenders. My papa always wore them, and I thought they looked sharp on those guys in the older movies- back in the days when people wore nice clothes regularly.
Anyway, it's just an idea- something to possibly get you by until your clothes fit you the way that you want them too.
Nope, hadn't considered suspenders, but I am now!
It's probably a real good idea. See, I have this "apron gut." It flows down most of my front. These days I wear really loooong shirts to cover it. (If they made 7XL Tall shirts, I'd buy them!). With most of my shirts, my belly is barely hidden, just a half inch above the bottom of the shirt. (My shirt today is super long! Love It!!!)
However, my fear is that as I lose weight, the apron/balloon will deflate and the skin will dip even lower. My hope is that it will begin to retract, but who knows? As big as my belly is it might end up around my knees!
I was not looking forward to having to purchase some new, large waist pants, and put a belt around my gut. Or, maybe wearing a girdle. However, now that we are thinking about suspenders, that might be a better solution. I'll look like a Simpson's character for a while (Hell! Who am I kidding? I look like Homer now!) - but that is much preferred to having gross looking flesh peeking out from under my shirt.
And, yes, someday there will have to be a tummy tuck. Affording it is a different question.

Jericho!!
Your comment made me laugh so hard while also making the point hit home.
Homer Simpson looks like Bruce Willis.
You should try to the Core Secret work outs. You can probably get them for cheap on ebay and all you need is a stability ball and some weights. Its a lot of fun, I promise and it truly does work!
Bruce Willis - really?
Now I'm trying to imagine "12 Monkeys" starring Homer Simpson!
Hrm... suspenders are snappy. As for your skin starting to get baggy as you loose weight, from what I understand, if you do it gradually enough, it won't be a problem. But just to help you, I would look in the beauty section and find some lotion with elastin in it. It supposedly helps your skin bounce back to shape. They recommend pregnant women use it to help reduce stretch marks and to help after birth to get back to normal. I think a lot of coco butter lotions have it.
