What can you wear now?

LINIA

Can't believe the clothing that fits me now that i couldn't wear in December and January.

It's mostly from my closet; all of the size 6 pants fit plus a lot of the size 4's.

Went to the hospital for a few tests . I was comfortable in a hospital gown. Lol

The same sports tanktop that I first wore 14 lbs. ago, except now it fits more comfortably! Small victory, but I'll take it.

It's not technically clothes, but it love the fact of being able to wear a towel around my waist at the locker room at the gym and feel confident that it's not going to fall off.

I'm, just today, wearing the sun dress I bought 21 years ago specifically to judge my progress when I was losing weight for boot camp. So many years it didn't fit; now it does.

ForMe2No

dresses, skirts, and shorts its been over 10 years since I wore any of those. Oh and skinny jeans and leggings.

I want to buy a bikini for the first time since I was 14. But at 37 I might be too old.

@tomteboda Helen Mirren looks amazing, as does my best friend, and they're both at least 10 years older than you! Do it!

Yes! Don't let age stop you - there are plenty of women in their 50s and 60s who wear bikinis! At least go into a store and try a couple on, see how you look - you might be pleasantly surprised and pleased, and it might give you a nice confidence boost even if you decide not to buy one.

What???!!! NO! Hardly old and you'd look great in a bikini! Try on different styles and sizes until you find something you're comfortable in.

Today I wore a tighter dress to work and I have to say, I think I looked pretty hot My husband works at the same (enormous) company that I do, and when he first saw me at lunch, was like "WHOA".

Those moments make it absolutely worth it.

gradchica27

Husband noted that my body image must have improved a lot bc I bought and wore a bikini (a higher waisted one, but still) on vacation rather than my mom-suit (tankini and skirted bottom). He's right! Granted, I wear a long sleeve rash guard 90% of the time bc I'm paranoid about skin cancer, but still. Happy to be confident in my skin.

If my new two-piece suit can be worn by this 55 year old, a 37 year old can sport a bikini!

tomteboda

Thank you all. I'm springing for a bikini with a bra - sized top!

I'm 47 this year, and for the first time since I was a teenager, I'm in a size 2 jeans and feel comfortable wearing a tank top. No bikini yet, but still. Baby steps.

Woohoo! Go for it!

Now I can pretty much wear whatever I want. Skinny jeans, shorts (NOT Bermuda shorts), swimsuit (sticking with a one piece but I look and feel good in it), short dresses, tank tops, etc. I love that I can wear such cute clothes. I don't care that I am 50 years old. If I like it and it looks good I'm wearing it!

lizzy_satellite

Sleeveless tops, blue jeans (I always felt conspicuous in anything but black), bikinis, pencil skirts and long boots - I love my choices now! I find myself steering clear of baggy t-shirts because my waist is so much smaller, I have a flat stomach now, and fitted stuff looks better. Anything that depends on boobs to hold it up is a total no-go area, though.

I can fit into my mom's 1940s-50s tie top - hasn't fit since college in the 1970s, as far as I recall. As a post-mastectomy 60 y/o, I'm not likely to wear it out in public, but I still think it's fun that it fits again. (Mom would've been 104 this year!) There should be matching shorts around here somewhere, but I can't seem to find them . . . .

ianwilson67

i've only been dieting 6 weeks and can now wear the jeans my daughter bought me in 2012! down to a 38 waist from 42/44, still a long way to go beore i can fit in my wedding suit though, i was a 32 waist then.

Second small NSV, my upper trapezoids are emerging! I used to have a pretty decent upper body in terms of muscle composition. Probably because I spent my childhood climbing and hanging from trees. My upper body is the last to gain, and first to lose, so this little glimmer of my former self is really motivating. Congrats to me and to everyone else on their victories! This littlest things can sometimes give the biggest morale boost.

EDIT- Oops, wrong thread! Sorry, but congrats to everyone nonetheless.

Just swim trunks at the beach.

And here it is! My first bikini since age 14.

A snuggie

I'm not to the point yet that I feel comfortable wearing a bikini but I'm happy I can wear high waisted jeans and actually make them look good now! Also, probably crop tops with the high waisted pants
