    Not a goal of mine..I just want to fit into something that is flattering and shows off the girls. To look better to myself in the mirror. Have more confidence. Be a better role model for my children!

    Also, I say I want to be beach ready/bikini ready, but I wear a skirt. I have the royal blue one from VS.

    http://www.victoriassecret.com/swimwear/extra-coverage-bottoms-and-one-pieces/skirted-bottom-forever-sexy?ProductID=32517&CatalogueType=OLS

    I wear them for catching some rays at my sister's private pool when no one except her children are around.
    If I go to the beach, I wear a cover up.
    Even after losing weight, I still am uncomfortable wearing a 2 piece & it's not about my size, but my age!

    After a certain age, I think women should go for the flattering look over the skimpy choices.

    One pieces aren't comfortable for me. So hell yeah I'm going to rock that bikini I got ;)

    :P
    You go. :)
    Youre not the only chick who is focused on the health aspect... Heart disease runs in my family and I don't want to get my first heart attack at the age of 35. The looks are extra motivation, but I still rock my bikini at about 30 pounds overweight, so I can't say I have let my weight impact anything I want to do, or wear, in life. As for a cougar attacking you- you are lucky that animal prints are in this year! :o) Just be happy and healthy with yourself, do what you want this lifetime because we only get one shot at this life. <3

    Very well said. Love the confidence girly.

    I'll admit, I have lots of vanity goals. And some fitness ones. I'll never have a "perfect bikini body" but that won't stop me from wearing a retro high waist one when I feel comfortable. Stretch marks came with puberty for me, I'm not going to let them stop me from going out in a swimsuit. I have them on my arms, breasts and my stomach.

    I personally think anyone can go for it. You don't have to go out in a super tiny sting bikini.

    There are 40 year olds who rock a bikini better than some 20 year olds. Lifestyle>age. (Unless we get into extremes) :P

    Sheesh! The only way I'm getting into a two-piece is if I double up on my TYR racerback tanks! :noway:

    Honestly, even if I had Gisele Bundchen body I still won't wear a bikini. I am very shy, and walking around in public without a lot of clothes is not my thing.

    I want to be fit... I don't find bikinis to be modest and wouldn't wear one even if I would "look good" in one... I don't even like traditional one piece suits because I find them immodest... no matter how skinney I am....

    I don't like "advertising" what isn't for sale :)

    I do want to rock a bikini, but being HEALTHY is definitely a top reason I want to do this! Just because all the older people in my family... well.. aren't! I don't want to go down that road :)

    The whole point of your thread seems very judgmental.

    Yeah, not a fan of bikinis. Even if I had the body and the courage to wear one, I would feel too self conscious with so much skin showing to enjoy myself. Unless it was a higher athletic style top, and a bottom that actually covers my whole butt. Most of em look like wedgies.

    My vanity goal is to fit into my blue chinese style dress again.

    I'd love to rock the 2-piece, but my chest hair gets tangled in the straps.

    I think your words through the whole thread speak for themselves.

    Enough said. :)

    Definitely not alone, as this thread has shown. For me, I can't ever imagine wearing a bikini. I always have a pear-shaped figure, whether I am 120 lbs or 180 lbs. I find bikinis really unattractive on my figure, but the retro one-pieces accentuate curves in a flattering way and look phenomenal on me. I have a tankini that I got for a decent price for now, but once I'm done fluctuating in size so much I plan to splurge on a nice one-piece. :)
