I'm a size 6 and no offense taken. I am also 5'3" so a size 6 for me is different than for someone who is 5'10". I know what she was trying to say and I agree. "Real" bodies rock no matter the size!0

To all the ladies that posted pictures:
I am in complete total and utter awe of you and your self-confidence and your BEAUTY. I only hope to gain enough confidence to wear a bikini to the beach when I hit my GW. I am nervous as heck.
Wow, all of you look absolutely AMAZING!!0 -
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...
he's giving HIS opinion! If its not wanted or welcome don't post a public thread. You open yourself up to "both sides" when you do!0 -
Bumping to do this!

Ok..here we go..
I actually purchased this one 2 years ago once I had gained weight...so I have less T&A now and the bottoms are a little loose...but I really like this one, might have to alter the bottom to keep wearing it.
Looking good smurf!!! Love that bikini body!!0 -
To be honest, I need a NEW bikini... if I put my old one on now, it'd probably fall off! lol Swim suit shopping this summer... I think I'm actually excited! :happy:0

And I'm posting my opinion... and that's, "I don't care what his opinion is."
When I wear a bikini, it's primarily to soak in the pool in my own back yard. I haven't worn a bikini in "public" in over 10 years, although I did swim in a friends' pool in my bra & panties at 3am one night. Tequila was involved. I'm not saying I wouldn't wear a bikini to a public pool or beach... just the opportunity hasn't presented itself.
My secondary reason for wearing a bikini is to document progress. I take nude pictures, too, but those can't be posted on here. It motivates me, and judging by the amount of messages I get, it motivates others.
I don't wear a bikini for the entertainment and viewing pleasure of others, except my husband, and he prefers the way the bikini looks on the floor than on my body.
The approval of others is not required. I'm far from peak condition. By some standards, I'll never be peak condition. But I'm really happy with how I look in a bikini. I was happy with how I looked in a bikini when I weighed 10 pounds more than I do now. And 20 pounds more. And 30 pounds more.
Just like in the Rocky Horror Picture Show, when Frank asked Janet's opinion of Rocky. She answered, "I don't like a guy with too much muscle." Frank huffed, "I didn't make him for YOU!" If anyone here doesn't like how I look, or anyone in this thread looks, in a bikini, just remember... they didn't do it for YOU.0 -
Yeah! What do you think this is, the motivation and support forum? Oh wait...The truth is the same for men in speedos and ladies in bikinis.

Congrats on putting yourself out there.
Although I think the En Vogue lyric is "Free your mind and the rest will follow". But "Free your mind and your *kitten* will follow" works too.0 -
Everyone here is such an inspiration! I'd love to be able to wear a bikini... or tankini... or even a one peice and feel comfortable.
Someday... If my skin lets me.0 -

love how people get so pissy-settle down. I didn't given an opinion either way-simply stating EVERYONE has the "right to theirs" whether people agree or not.0 -
You're in a public forum.

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.
Truth is not all unicorns and rainbows.
One of the reasons America is a fat nation is this whole notion of fat acceptance.
If all you want is an estrogen echo chamber, start a group.
Sorry to rain on the parade, but the whole notion is absurd in the extreme.
If you can't take an opposing opinion, don't come into a public forum.
I've been waiting for your douchebaggery all day!! Look, nowhere have I said that it's okay to let our bodies go, or that everyone should exercise 'fat acceptance'... but you know what is okay? Knowing that you're a good person who is working hard to reach your goals REGARDLESS OF HOW YOUR BODY LOOKS TODAY.
I know you used to be fat and now you hate fat people because you have deemed them weak, but please keep in mind that your "tough love" comes off as hateful and pious. I'm sure you're very aware that you're not well liked by many, and I'm sure you don't care, but don't for one second think I'll let you get away with fat-bashing today, pal.
Is it okay that I'm in love with you?

I'm not being pissy. I'm just "giving my opinion." I have a right to mine... you just said so.
Which is... GOOD FOR YOU if you have the confidence to be happy before you reach your goals. :flowerforyou:
Oh, yeah... I forgot to contribute to the thread. Here's to small boobs, bony chest, pasty white skin, not much definition in the arms, no six-pack, short torso, heavy thighs... and being damn happy. :happy:
