    WTH? The skinny women are taking over this thread!!! Don't hate, thick women are sexy!!!!
  • Hi all

    I love this thread you all look stunning!!! I've lost 17lbs since Christmas and am so much happier and confident with my body but I still have about 40lbs to go till I get to the weight I think I will feel happy and healthy with.

    I am going on holiday on Friday and for the first time in 8 years I have bought a bikini. i've also bought a swimsuit so will post a pic of that too, as I feel more confident in that! I swing between feeling 'ok' about wearing a bikini and thinking screw what others think anyway, and feeling too shy to wear it so I'm going to pack it and see how I feel!

    My fiance thinks I look fab but he would love me if I was rolled in poo and feathers lol! pics below! Excuse the funny faces I was nervous! Eek!

    You look ADORABLE. The first suit is super-sexy looking, and my favorite is the third pic. Work it, girl!

    Please allow me to direct you to this comment I posted in the original thread in response to someone else who felt the need to call out women of a perceived size:

    Okay, listen closely ladies ... REGARDLESS OF YOUR SIZE, we're all allowed to 'feel fat' ... we all have body image issues and struggle with self confidence. Why don't we do this - ignore the title of the thread (which is more for attention-value than anything else), and think about the actual body of the OP:
    Or, hey, if you're just a woman who has never before been confident in your swimwear... post a pic of yourself in your favorite bikini or swim suit!!! I want to see the confident, happy, motivated people of MFP doing what we do best - be amazing.

    You don't have to look perfect, you just have to know you're working your *kitten* off to be better today than you were yesterday.



    The purpose of this thread is for everyone, no matter what your size, to step out of your comfort zone and post your photo. There is no weight limit on this, there are no stipulations or judgements. If you want to try to come out of your shell and test the waters of feeling good about your hard work (regardless of where you came from, where you are, or where you're going), DO IT.

    It is nobody's place to decide who is or isn't 'fat enough' to post, and it's really nobody's place to tell someone else how to feel about themselves. Women with low body fat, ripped abs, amazing skin and a tight *kitten* can feel just as bad about themselves as a woman with stretch marks and rolls.

    Self esteem isn't about the size in your pants, it's about loving the person you are and the person you want to be.

    What an awesome thread- throwing this back up again. Trying to feel confident in a swimsuit- made it my profile pic as well. Need to get an updated one to show some more progress but starting to feel okay showing things off in swim wear.

    Okay, after checking out everyone else's posts throughout the day, I'm finally ready to post my own. I'm definitely a work in progress, but here we go.

    Was pleasantly surprised with some aspects of the front pic:

    Then things got a little scarier...gotta keep working to uncover the muscle in those thighs!

    Thanks for the lessons on how to post a pic! Never in a million years did I think i'd be actively trying to figure out how to post a picture of me in a bikini on the internet for tons of strangers to look at, but hey if everyone else can do it so can I.

    This is a pic from our vacation to Cuba in February. This was my 2nd trip were I'd worn a 2 piece, first time was last year. I'm way bigger than I ever was in high school/ junior high and never back then would I have had the guts to wear one and I'm about 25-30 lbs heavier now than I was back then. I guess as I get older I'm finally learning to like my body.

    I don't exactly like what I see, however, I just booked a trip to Cuba for Christmas so now I'm really motivated to lose some lbs. Hoping for 15-20lbs in the next 5 and 1/2 months. Sorry I had no pictures with my bottoms I have shorts over top of them in this picture.

    Okay, you are adorable.

    Your swimsuit is super cute!

    You ROCK it! You look great!

    I've lost 38 pounds since joining MFP, and am the smallest I have EVER been.

    And yet . . . I am still nervous about rocking this here bikini (my first ever!) that I bought . . .

    Screenshot2012-06-19at50736PM.png

    Some days I think it looks awesome. Other days I think I look too fat for a bikini. I think it is more mental blocks than anything else at this point.

    (PS - that was scary to share!)

    You look FANTASTIC! I work my butt off six days a week training for a triathlon and running races and I cant make my pudgy stomach look anywhere NEAR as awesome as yours! Be proud!!!

    Apparently the name of the thread should have been Confident Women in Bikinis since some people obviously only read the title and skipped the OP's original post. :noway:

    What's the problem about wanting compliments? Everyone's here for self improvement. Don't B!tch

    This is a bikini I think I bought back in college. This is the first time I've tried it on in years and it actually wasn't as bad as I thought it was gonna be. Still way too small (see the lovely muffin top, and the triangle top now barely covers my nipples) but I thought I wasn't going to be able to get the bottoms on at all. So, NSV for me!

    This is my nod to stretch marks. Maybe they would fade with a tan- most of my scars do. But they bother me *almost* as much as the pooch does. If I got my flat belly back, I could probably deal with the stretch marks. And would, since I would LOVE to get back into a bikini!

    I like this one best! Really flattering for your figure!

    My goodness...these pics could be featured on a pinup model website. The 'throwback' style suit accentuates your curves and the roll-cuff jean shorts gives it a modern flair. Very sexy!

    I think I've confirmed my fears... Even at a "healthy" weight, BMI and BF%, my body shape just isnt cut out for a 2 piece... :sad:

    Most of the ladies on this thread look ***AMAZING*** in these things, no matter how much they weigh!!! I really think bikini's were made for curves. :wink:

    I better stick to a one piece if I want to come home happy! lol

    Very nice progress! You've got a very sexy hourglass-ish figure and sexy legs...and the tie-back top really shows off your sexy back.
