I am going to be apart of a WLS fashion show this coming thursday and of course I have nothing to wear, so my friends at the gym offered to let me borrow a dress from them.

The first dress- black cocktail size 14- fit like a glove. This material was not stretchy either.

The second dress- is a black and white dress (not as formal)- size 8 (made from stretchy material) it fit like a glove too!!!!!!!OMG!!!!!!!!!!

I am not a size 8 by any stretch, but the fact that it fit stretchy or not was an amazing feeling. Now I don't know which dress to choose.

Congrats !!!!! Great Nsv !!!

That is a great NSV! Good job and have fun!

That's wonderful!!! Congrats and have a great time!

Where is your fashion show going to be?

You have to go with the size 8 just because....ITS AND 8!!!! Do it for all of us size 8 wannabee's!

That is a fantastic achievement... congratulations on the dress size and modelling!! :whoo::whoo::clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

I know this is a silly question but I am new to all of this...

What does "NSV" stand for?

Non scale Victory. These is a thread in Q&A which gives meaning for most acrnyms on here.

Thanks for all your kind remarks. It really helps encourage me to continue full force with the healthy eating and exercise.

I think I probably will go with the 8 (just b/c its an 8 and b/c it is more appropriate for the event). My WLS program is having its 5th year anniversary and to Celebrate, the patients are putting on a fashion show for the doctors and prospective patients. We are a small program in East TN and everyone is having great success. The show is this coming Thursday and I will be sure to take photos and post them. I am so excited and I haven't been excited about things like this in forever. Thanks again and stay tuned for photos late this week.

Oh good, I was gonna say WEAR THE 8 .... because ... it's an EIGHT!!

What a GREAT NSV!!! So exciting!!! Congratz!!! You worked hard, now show it off sistah!

The fashion show is a GREAT idea...I'm going to pass that idea on to our patient coordinator!

Here are the pics. I ended up wearing the black dress size 14 b/c it was more appropriate for the occasion and I felt sexy in it.
