Sooo... I bought this cute dress for $15, although I'm not really brave enough to wear it in public yet... I think I should lose another 10 lbs before I wear it. However, I took a pic because you can really see my progress. -53 lbs.

Thank you everyone! You guys are way too nice. For those that asked why i think I'm not ready to wear it out, I guess because its really short, and I just think I'm still too big & thick for it. I didnt think it looked great from most angles. I have a big butt, etc. I know we in the WLS community think I look ok, but to "normal" sized people, I'm sure they'd think, eew why's that fat chick wearing that? I don't know. I need to lose a bit more to gain some confidence.

You look great! Love the dress and the boots, very cute

Cute!!! You can wear that out now.

Wear it out NOW!!!!! You look great!!!!

Aww thank you everyone

You and your bargain dress are adorable! If you feel confident in the dress, wear it. If you feel a few more pounds will give you more confidence in the "outside world", then wait til you lose a few more pounds. It's good incentive and you want to feel your best, not worry about being judged. keep up the good work!

Just throw some leggings under it if you think it's too short! Looks adorable, congrats!!

LADY YOU LOOK AMAZING!!!! congrats on such an amazing transformation( I am jealous lol )

You look great. You have no fear of wearing the dress out in public.
