I just purchased my first bikini ever. I'm 48 years old and have never owned one. I decided that I'm going to wear this thing this summer. Now that I'm less than 10 pounds from my final goal I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.

When I started this journey, I told my best friend that if I can get from size 18 jeans to size 6 jeans, I may just consider buying a bikini. Well...she's holding me to it, she has a memory like an elephant. I'm scared to death of put this thing on, even in the privacy of my own bedroom, so I don't know how I'm EVER going to get out in public with this thing.

The good thing is I can buy a little time...the weather is still cold here in Washington. I'll let you know when the big event actually happens....:blushing:

    Congrats, that is amazing. I wore a bikini on Spring Break this last week and after seeing pictures I realized how much weight I truly gained after having my first child... I now have the inspiration to drop a lot of weight.

    That's awesome! The though of a bikini briefly crossed my mind, but I'd be too shy even if I was a 6. Wear it for all of us!:laugh:

    Thanks for the support guys. Like I said, it's still cold here in Washington so you'll have to wait for the pictures. I'm getting even more scared at the thought of it, but also excited. I just wished that I had done so well with the weight loss when I was a little younger and cuter, but I promise to all of you and I will do you proud and work it...for all of you (my friends). :drinker:

    Be patient, the weather has to get a little warmer.
