    *Pic deleted, not needed


    so much work to do to get back to better than November... but, I have 7 months, so I can do it.

    truly not trying to start qanything but your tattoo switched sides? how'd you do that?

    The one is a mirror picture, obviously...So it's going to be on the opposite side...

    Bry you are always looking good even when you are not competing!


    Thank you, Marc!

    Strut your stuff! Wish I had the confidence to wear a bikini, but this just encouraged me to want to buy a tank-kini.

    Good god, there is no way in hell you'd catch me in a bikini, much less posted on the internets for all to see. I admire those of you brave enough.

    You are looking great!! I can totally see a difference since the last time you posted!!


    (PS - Anything with a vagina is a "real woman". Skinny women are still women).

    Thank you for saying this - now that I have reached my goal weight, I'm struggling with judgement from the other side now - that I'm skinny and therefore am not a beautiful sexy woman anymore.

    So slender size 6 women are not "real women"?

    I don't think that's what she means at all, I think she means women who are not airbrushed models in magazine, that aren't perfect. Women who are real, of every shape and size. Women who have issues with their bodies and don't always love themselves for the beauty we do have. Women who have 'battle scars' from being overweight, having kids, or who have fought breast cancer or other physical ailments. Women that are actual women. I think that is what she meant. Size 0 or size 30.

    People she just meant real as in everyday, not photoshopped , nonmodel women! Please remove your super hero xray glasses and stop trying to see something that is not there.

    Correct, you are!

    Insecure people always find offense where none was meant.

    That's the way I read it, too.

    Also, I know plenty of women, whom most of us would call "thin", who are afraid to go out in a bikini.

    Yes, I would fit into that category! First of all, BRAVO!!! for showing confidence and self-esteem. I am small and always have been, but I don't have any confidence at all in a bikini! Before I started putting on weight, I was embarrased to wear a bikini because I was so flat-chested. Now I'm embarrased because my belly is bigger than my boobs.

    I wish I had one ounce of what you have! :) Love it! If I keep doing this 30ds, maybe I will get up the confidence to post a bikini pic.

    The truth is the same for men (or women) in peak condition and men (or women) in poor condition:
    If you don't have something nice to say, keep your mouth shut or your fingers off the keyboard.

    Don't want to look at these pictures? Don't click on the link to the thread.

    Personally, I'd rather be nekkid than in a bikini any day. Since MFP won't allow any nekkid pics, and I don't have a bikini, I'm boycotting this thread...LOL

    :flowerforyou:

    Haha - I was thinking the same thing! But I can't boycott. The attitude is awesome here, and if I owned a bathing suit, I'd add mine to the mix!

    This thread inspired me to go bathing suit shopping (even though I hate all forms of shopping) tonight because, although I have ugly stretch marks and some loose skin and (gasp!) my thighs still touch, if misskortney can rock what she's got with confidence (WHICH IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!), then I shouldn't be afraid to, either.

    The truth is the same for men in speedos and ladies in bikinis.
    If you're not in peak condition, you should refrain.
    Confidence is wonderful, and maybe there are better ways to exhibit fortitude than speedos or bikinis.

    That's just a sight...

    oh no I have to disagree no man should ever be in a speedo, they just aren't called for, banana hammocks should be banned in my opinion.
