Question
Hi,

I am currently losing weight with weight watchers.  I have lost 20 lbs. and my pants are getting bagging in legs and waist.  I can adjust waist not legs.  Can you help me?

Thank you,
Pam

Answer
HI Pam,
probably the easiest way is to use the inseam to adjust the legs.

since you are doing great in loosing the weight, the crotch is also needing to be adjusted.

when doing this, make sure to alter the curve for the crotch so that it does not become straight.
