    Well said and I agree with you except for posting a picture... at least not yet! I haven't worn a swimsuit in years. It's not about confidence for me. It is about not liking what I see when I wear shorts or a swimsuit. I am working on this and eventually, I will post a picture on this thread... Thank you MissKortney, for the good vibes and support to us all, just as we are.

    I love love love this and you. This is totally what I needed; wish I had seen this before I went off in a huff earlier and busted some iron (though that helped too).

    Everyone in this thread looks so, so good, and I WISH I had the guts to upload a photo, but I'm too scared to even take one (even though, I know, I know, that's an excellent gauge of progress). I have such a hard time seeing myself accurately.

    I am so with you firstsip! I don't see myself accurately either.

    I own at least 10 swimsuits and I never, ever wear them because all I see when I look in the mirror is the fat... I stepped out of my comfort zone with pictures recently and let my husband take some before, after and progress pictures every 30 days while I was participating in a 90 day squat challenge. (I have 10 days left and I will have done nearly 1,800 squats in 90 days!) I haven't looked at the pictures, but once we take the after pictures, I am going to make myself look at the pictures and do some comparisons and see how much my glutes have changed over the 90 days. Here's to a first step toward pictures...

    To the OP: you have courage and I am proud of you! Congrats on your self confidence. I agree that all shapes and sizes struggle with confidence, and while I love my abs... I do not like my legs and *kitten* much at all!

    I don't own a full bikini, never felt daring enough to wear one and rarely even don a costume, so this is the closest I can get.
    This is how I am at the current time.

    I love this! You ladies are inspiring. I literally spent the past summer at the beach wearing gym shorts and loose tank tops in the water over my swimsuit feeling miserably uncomfortable, and haven't even dared to wear a bikini by itself since I was pregnant with my 4 year old! Thank you for sharing!

    I can't even begin to tell you all how much I admire the courage that each and every one of you has for doing this. I wish I had half as much.

    well if you get up the courage... you'd look good in a pink triangle bikini... ;)
