Major NSV time!

I had to get a pair of Khakis for my trip to NY this weekend. I was told "brown khakis" which don't really exsist... Anyway, I digress.

I tried on a pair of 22, thinking they might fit. Nope, too baggy. I tried on a pair of 20s! They were on the baggy side! I got a pair of 18s, and they fit!

I fit into a size 18 today!!!!! Okay, I didn't buy them because they were not pretty, but I could put them on! Oh my gawd, oh my gawd, oh my gawd!

A size 18! I haven't been able to squeeze my pretty little self into a size 18 since my baby was small!

Oh sure, my jeans aren't a size 20, but still!

It looks like I'll be bringing some clothes to the Las Vegas Bash after all!

Wowza, you go girl!!! I'm right behind you, 18's here I come! Wahooo! Feels good, don't it?! Yay! I'm so proud of you!!!

Vines,

That is great. Congratulations.

Congrats!! Yay....I can't wait till I start losing!

WOW what a great NSV!!! Great Job!!!

Well done, vinesqueen!! Makes you want to go shopping more, doesn't it hehe

Just out of curiosity - what is NSV?

Parvathi,

It took me over a week to find this and prior to that my imagination ran away with itself trying to figure out what NSV was. DH was another one that I thought stood for D*** Head (which my wife occasionally refers to me with). And for the life of me I thought this Aunt Flo everybody was talking about was some pain-in-the-ass lady who lurked on this web site and then went visiting Lap-Banders uninvited and hung out there for a few days before moving on to somebody else. I vowed to not give out my address on this site for fear she'd be knocking on my door next!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! It's one of the greatest feelings, and just think, the next step is ALL of your clothes are 18's!!!! Great job!

Bobalooey! That is too funny. I, myself couldn't find out NSV for a little while, but didn't think to much of it.

Whoooo Hoooo Crystal! Doing the "Happy Dance for you! :banana :banana

Vines, that is great news!

Congratulations, I love those NSV's!!

woooo hooo Vines!

I agree with the others - this is going to motivate you to go shopping more and more! And whats even more amazing - youre going to enjoy it!

I bet hubby's excited about those numbers as well!

bobalooey - youre crackin me up! poor Aunt Flo, you sure you dont want her visitin your house?

Cool-And good for you, I probably would have bought them just because of the size. Now you can look for a really pretty pair.

Congrats, Vines! Way to go! Keep up the great work.

I know the thrill you feel, but it's been quite a while for me, too. I wear a 24, well most of the time, and I am way too close to 26. Aside from being able to walk without pain, going down to the "teens" in sizing is my most anticipated goal! CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Cindy

That is awesome vines (YOU ROCK)
