I have lost 69 lbs. used to wear 24 now I am not sure. Tops I wear an XL. Pants my legs look nice in a 14 but my stomach needs a 16-18. Any suggestions on what to do. I hate the baggy legs on the bigger pants because my legs were never this small before. I guess the gut will go eventually.

two things...maybe wearing some casual dresses or skirts...also maybe trying pants that are designed to be more like leggings or "skinny jean" type...with the larger size to accommodate your waist/tummy area, the pant legs may not be as form-fitting on you as they would be on someone with a waist size that more matched the leg size

Not sure if you are done losing, or if this size is a short-term stop along the way...but, once you have reached your "final" size, if you still have a discrepancy that makes you need a larger size to fit one part than what is needed for another, your best bet is to find a good tailor....from years of watching "What Not To Wear", I know that they say you need to buy the size that fits your widest part, but alter the rest so that the clothes for your body everywhere :-)

Elastic waisted pants or short, you can hide the elastic with a shirt. Some maternity pants/shorts have very thin elastic at the waist and might fit perfect in the legs and waist. Just some ideas to compensate. I know we want to lose weight to avoid this, but comfort is just as important. Maybe drawstring shorts would work also.
