    you do what you want to do. Enjoy. Personally, I don't even like wearing a bikini in front of my family. I feel like I'm showing too much off, and I feel very uncomfortable. I have no issue if someone else wants to flaunt the goods... but do it in a classy way.

    If I lived by myself, or with my fabulous Italian, mute pool boy Paolo (who only exists in my head), I'd be naked every day.

    I do live by myself, but not in a nice warm climate, so clothes are a good thing.


    I had to quote your "MUTE pool boy, Paolo" ....I agree with the no-talking rule. :tongue:



    And, no way I'm putting pics of myself on any internet site in underwear. Once they hit the internet they are out there for eternity to anyone who wants to use them. Think about the consequences.

    A little background on Paolo: he's tanned, toned and totally mute, therefore not able to contradict or argue with anything I say. He does, however, take great direction and looks great in a leather sarong while he fans me with giant palm fronds and feeds me frozen grapes while I rest in my beach chair poolside in an Italian villa.

    I don't care what other people do, but I'm never going to post pics in my lingerie. That's for my man.

    Now, bikini shots or anything I'd walk around in public in, I'd post for everyone here to see. My back muscles show just as good in a cute sports bra as they do when I'm naked, but again, I get naked for my man.

    That's just ME. Everyone else, expose as much as you like. I don't care what you do. :happy:

    It's just bodies. As long as you're not engaging in specifically sexualised acts or displaying yourself with deliberative provocative intent, it's the eyes of the beholders that make naked bodies sordid, perverted, indecent or offensive. Of course, it's not nice to walk around nude in a stranger's household if you know they have issues with nudity, but if somebody insists on looking in my window and happen to see me get a glass of water in the kitchen without clothes on - well, it's their problem if they get offended. They can just look in some other direction, and not into my private space.

    As for wearing a bra - a bra that covers as well as a bikini top is a bikini top up until somebody starts yelling about it being underwear. If you don't want your boyfriend to carry with him the image of a friend in the underwear, don't draw attention to it.

    Would I post pictures of myself in a bikini? If I felt more confident about my body, yes, no problem. As it is, I don't think anybody need to see all the loose skin on my belly. If I had smooth skin and killer abs though, I'd flash them with great pride!

    I don't care what others do, that is strictly their call. But for me, being age 58, you are not going to find any pics of me on the internet anywhere in a swimsuit or undies.

    Something tells me that my partner probably wouldn't want me to do it either. Also, I would hate to end up scaring someone to death.

    I think it depends on the context. I have features/pictures on several fitness websites in a bikini or underwear, but they're professional and tasteful.

    IMO, a selfie in your lingerie posing provocatively is entirely another matter. My general rule is to ask myself if my husband, brother or parents would think it was embarassing or risque.

    IDK, I'm kind of a hippie. Skin is skin, bodies are bodies. We all have them. And we all have "private" parts that everyone has either seen on someone else or has a set of their own. Do I want a girl friend to come over and traipse around in the nude? No. But there is a time and a place for everything. This is a fitness site where people want to show off their hard work. I say, don't like it, stay out of the "Success Stories" board all together! Haha. I fully plan to take a picture of myself when I'm done, and it will most likely be done in a sports bra and a small pair of shorts. I don't agree with the whole "what if your employer saw it" thing. If they did, it would be easy to explain.

    Other people do what they're comfortable with, and that doesn't bother me. But in all my progress pics, I wear enough clothes that I could post them online without embarrassment. I took progress pictures initially just for myself, but after losing 90 pounds, I decided to throw them online. I was always motivated by other people's progress pics, so I decided to post mine as well.

    Anyone who wants to see mine can go here:

    I wouldn't do it on here. What goes up on the internet stays on the internet! And there are a lot of weird people on the internet...

    I have no shame-so i dont really care. heck, i wash my car in my driveway in a bikini.
    As far as underwear-my bikini covers considerably more skin than my underthings.

    I would totally do the same if I had the body. I think it is fine to wash the car in a bikini, when I reach my goal, as long as my husband is the only one I take it off for afterward. :blushing: :blushing: :blushing:
