I'm using a lock belt to keep my shirts in. I'll be getting my pants tailored before the start of the season because I've dropped 35 lbs. since January (no, I don't have a disease).

I use a flex-belt to look neat on the court.

Congrats!! I WISH I had this issue. Need to drop 5 lbs around the midsection. Middle-age and not eating right are my enemies at the moment.

Thanks. They were my enemies too. I've been a Weight Watchers disciple since the start of the new year. Feel much better and the day after game day hurts the legs a lot less. The "oh boy" moment was seeing myself on video at a camp last year and wondering, "Who's that pregnant guy in the C?"

+1 to all of this... I'm in exactly the same boat.
Haven't tried on my basketball pants yet, but I know my football and baseball pants are both too loose in the waist right now.

And it's probably going to be much cheaper to tailor them than it is to buy new ones. (although I usually buy one new outfit per year for each sport... so one new shirt and one new pair of slacks this year)

I just had 3 pair of Smittys pants altered to remove 4 inches from the waist. It cost me $45 for all three pair. Cheaper than buying one pair of new. I have dropped 40 pounds this year! At camp last month, I thought that my pants were going to fall down during fast breaks.

Welcome to the club! During the season when I hit the 10-pound mark (February) I had to start wearing spandex AND an extra pair of shorts under my Smittys to make sure I didn't end up on YouTube.

I have my pants tailored and my shirts tailored. The cost is roughly 20 bucks each. I use a military style shirt stay to keep my shirt nice and tucked in, that costs around 5 bucks.

The jackets are the only thing I don't have altered (that show). Sides get tapered and sleeves of shirts get altered (sometimes length, sometimes size of opening, sometimes both). Pant leg lengths get tailored. I am lucky in that my waist size usually works just fine with the exact waist size of the pants I wear. I also have my patches/flags put on by my tailor.

And I don't wear any of those under-belt things to keep shirts tucked in. I've always tucked mine into my undershorts/compression shorts, and I've never had issues with shirts coming untucked.

Impressive. What were the dietary changes? Whole30 or Paleo?

Thanks. Just Weight Watchers. Exercise is a given because of the officiating. The main part is being more conscious of what I eat along with more fruits and vegetables. As one of the meeting leaders said, "None of us is here because we're eating too many fruits and vegetables unless we're dipping them in chocolate and frying them in oil."
