No bikini for me thanks.

I want to be lean, strong and bad *kitten*.

I want to climb mountains without passing out or on.

I want to be able to run and play with my kids and not get tired.

I want to be fit enough for hours and hours of fun with hubs.

A bikini isn't even on my radar.

I want performance.

That doesn't have the main goal, to rock a 2 piece bikini. Everywhere I go all I hear is "I can't wait to get to my goal weight, so i can be bikini ready". Guess my main goal is more focused on health (looks are good too). Even when I get to my goal weight , after having my daughter, I look like I got attacked by a cougar. But I've accepted it, and I don't want anyone having to see all of that. Now, this isn't to say that if you have stretch marks (ladies) that you can't pull a 2 piece off. If you can and want to, more power to ya. Hell, that just shows you have more confidence than I do. But I think i've just accepted that I'm a mother, my body has its flaws and I'm no spring chicken any more, so time for me to chill in my mama one piece. Any other ladies out there feel the same??

Right there with yer.....although I have the body worthy of a bikini, I actually am still too self conscious to wear one. Nevermind the fact that over here in England, our Summer lasts for about 2-3weeks and quite frankly is not bikini worthy weather. It has to be mid 20's Celcius before I even contemplate stripping down to shorts let alone a bikini. On vacations, its different as no-one knows you so you don't feel as self conscious. But in answer to your question, bikini wearing has never been my goal. I just simply want to be healthier.

i guess i am one of those ladies who want to be bikini ready. its not so much about flashing your bits around as someone said, but more to have that confidence that i feel comfortable enough in my own skin. (Not to say you are uncomfortable with yourself if you're not wearing a two piece). I personally find bikinis more flattering on me, one pieces make me feel like a stumpy square (dont have a very defined waist and i have short legs).
as for the stretch marks, who cares??? my skin expanded coz my beautiful LO was there. I aint ashamed of them.. if other people are offended by my scars, they are free to look the other way.

that being said, im not losing my weight so i can wear a bikini and thats it, of course the main goal is to be healthier, have more staminia but hey some of us wanna be in a bikini while being healthy.
