    Ok so here goes nothing. Please be kind as I am trying to do something positive for myself today as today marks the 4 year anniversary of my son's death and well I am not having a good day. I think all of you look fab.

    starting weight was 202 and size 18. I am 5 ft 7. Today I am 178 and wear a size 10/12. Only about halfway there.

    I wish it was just fat woman posting because there is already a thread with skinny people in it! Stop taking over.. :-(

    I do NOT think this is fair, or any more supportive than talking down on "fat" people. You don't decide who feels skinny, or what "fat" and "skinny" are to someone. I feel fat in my bikini, and WANT to feel empowered, that is why I posted in this thread -- would you label my body fat, maybe not, but that doesn't change the legitimacy of my feelings.

    Similarly, other women are posting because they are proud of working on their bodies, and wanted to post in an accepting thread and support others and their "imperfect" bodies. No one is judging you (that's the point) or taking this thread away from anyone, so enjoy and support those who are contributing :)

    Such an inspirational thread, sadly though my bikini days are over. Unless some bright spark invents a sports bra esque bikini top .


    try Speedo.. they have all kinds of tops like that in a 2 piece
    pretty sure nike does too

    I DID wear a bikini to the beach last weekend. I've found that if I don't show my belly, which I'm more and more proud of every day, that attention is drawn to the other not-so-glamorous parts slightly lower, and I would rather not. So as it is now, I am far more comfortable in a bikini than a one piece or tankini, and I've NEVER EVER been able to say that in my life. :) So yeah, I'm darn proud of where I am...

    I think your legs look fabulous, they are the first thing I noticed, though your stomach is certainly not a flaw ;). You look great, in general. WTG.

    You are READY for that bikini, you look great and I LOVE the suit. We have a similar body size and goal when you consider our different heights and thus different proportions (I am 5'4" 166, also wear a 10/12, aiming for 140).

    I know tons of ladies with 2 babies would love to be rocking that body! I bet no one notices your cellulite and stretchmarks as much as you do, I think you look great and will have a knockout shape as you achieve your goals :D.

    Maybe not "fat".. but I sure as hell feel like it some days!

    This was after having a child and fluctuating from 171 (at my highest pregnancy weight).. to 143... to 162.. to 130.
    These pictures were from around 133. I'm 5'5

    You look great, you should be proud of what you've achieved. Those are great suits, too. I'd love to get back into the 130s!

    My first ever bikini photo, and sure as heck the first one I have ever posted online. I never thought I would jump in on one of these threads, but there's been some ugliness on the boards this morning, and this thread is needed.

    Untitled-2.jpg


    I weigh 180 pounds, at 5'8" tall. I wear a large shirt, with size 12 pants.
    Please, be nice. This is a second hand bikini that I know doesn't look great, but hey, I'm trying to not care here. One day I may have the courage to wear a bikini out of the house, but I'm super shy about stretch marks and weird tummyness.

    You're looking great! And I know this sounds like one of those "Aah, I can't think of anything else so I'll compliment their hair" type compliments, but you have a gorgeous smile :) You look happy, and confident. Go rock that bikini with that smile, and show everyone how awesome you are. :)

    Here we go, took one RIGHT NOW to add to the thread. I think ANYONE can rock a bikini, regardless of size -- those that judge you are ugly inside, who cares how they look on the exterior? Confidence and being comfortable in your own skin are 100% sexy, and all of you look incredible, and should be proud of your journeys!

    I am getting there, and will gladly wear this to the beach this summer -- even if I am still insecure about my "generous curves".

    I am so printing this and hanging it on my fridge. Your body is EXACTLY the way I want to look. :) HAWT!

    Awwww -- I am very flattered, and I think it's good for my mental health to hear that my body can be "enough", not something that needs 40 less pounds :). I have been upping my goal from what seems to be the most common for my height, to something that I think suits me and my body. Great feeling.
