    Awesome pics... nice yoga poses....Very beautiful. However: there is no weight to be lost.
    5'6, with a goal of 95 lbs, that is a BMI of 15.3
    As a student in nutrition science: she should know better

    I'm sorry, do not want to offend anybody. I am a nurse, and I currently deal with patients with eating disorders. A nutritionist should give a good example to all those patients.

    Where did I say anywhere that my goal was 95 lbs!!???

    2009 at Bellows, HI with my dad. These are the most recent, sad, huh? Especially since i got married in Hawaii in 2011 and didn't let anyone take a single picture of me in a bikini.

    Big props to all the beautiful ladies who have posted their photos. I thoroughly debated NOT posting mine, after reading through the thread and seeing some of the "haters" so there is still a chance I may end up taking this down shortly. But here goes nothing...
    I took this as a "wake up call" photo last month....I've lost a bit more since then, and plan to continue losing weight and toning up the jiggely bits. I still wouldn't be caught dead at the pool in this suit, without a tank top to cover up, and this is not where I want to be when I meet my goal, but perhaps posting this will motivate me to keep pushing forward to get where I want to be? :) Please excuse the "mummy tummy" and stretch marks!!!

    Thank you so much for posting this - my belly skin looks a lot like yours - well honestly I think mine is worse - I have been afraid to post even in this supportive thread b/c of the negative comments. Maybe if I can find a swimsuit in the closet that still fits, I will try and take my pic tomorrow and I guess come to terms with my 'mummy tummy' too.

    I think what probably happened is she went to your profile, saw your 'MFP starting weight 118' and your ticker showing you want to lose a total of 23 lbs, did some math and figured your goal weight to be 95 lbs. Of course obviously something might not be up-to-date, for example if you gained weight after starting MFP but did not list the gain in your profile or something. Anyway I'm pretty sure that's where she got the number from, figuring your desired 23 lb loss was starting from your 118 starting weight.

    Half a centimeter below where I listed my starting weight, I stated that my goal weight is 105-110 (whereas my body in that photo, and my normal weight, is 113). As I stated earlier in this forum (I assume you didn't see it) the reason I still have 16 lbs to lose is because January was awful for me and I quickly gained 10lbs (I got to my highest ever - higher than my MFP starting weight)

    I skipped all the drama in this thread, but wanted to leave something positive!

    All of your bikini-clad women ROCK. You're all beautiful. I've never worn a bikini in my life but one day hope to change that. Love the confidence to be who you are. :heart:

    5'6, 110bs, BMI=17.8
    5'6, 105 lbs, BMI= 16.9

    Both underweight. Don't get me wrong, you are beautiful. I just think that you are aiming at a weight loss similar to my ED patients. Being fit and healthy doesn't mean underweight BMI in my clinical work.

    This is so inspirational, well done to all you amazing people who have the courage to show everyone your progress. I personally hate wearing bikinis, I don't like having that much on show, makes me feel naked! :sad:

    These are probably the only pictures I have of me in a two piece bathing suit since I was a kid. I believe I was around 120 pounds here, and I'm 5'5". My belly is very jiggly from my last pregnancy, and I currently have another on the way, so I no longer weigh 120 pounds. :-)

    BMI is not an accurate measure of fitness or even health for that matter.

    Got it. When your natural weight is 113, 110 is not unhealthy.

    True story; I bought this bikini five years ago. I have never worn it in public.
