Rock the bikini this summer??? I need to loose 20 more lbs. and get fit again, so my goals are clear and I will reach them, but I have a vain motivation becide being healthy, I wanna look SMOKING in my bikini. I bought a new one, and may be weird but I have it clipped to my fridge as a reminder of where I want to be. If I had an ex, I would want to make him jealous. LOL!
Seriously I can't be the only one girl or boy, although, I would not want to see anyone try to rock a speedo, keep those at home boys, but guys want to look fit an trim too in their swim trunks, shorts, whatever. just nooo speedos. :wink:

    I would love to wear a bikini again but I am too old and have to many battle scars to really rock one- I would settle for a bathing suit that doesn't look like a dress or have a skirt LOL!

    I've never worn a bikini. Ever. I just don't feel comfortable in them and I never will. Call me a prude..but I wear mini skirts and high heels..idk.
    I think bikinis can be great, it just isn't my cup of tea. :).

    i think everyone would LOVE to look smoken in a bikini (or spido, gross) but i think at this point it is unrealistic for me to think I can even fit into one! i started loosing weight at size 20 so i'll be happy to get into a 12. i don't think i'll ever be a size 6 again but thats ok with me.

    I'm pretty sure the stretch marks, battle scars and imperfections only matter to us, not to anyone else seeing us.

    After I put all the work in and eat right and exercise and lose the 40 - odd pounds I need to, damn skippy I'll be wearing a bikini!!

    2 C-sections and some wicked stretch marks won't diminish my joy at looking fit in a two-piece. If anyone on the beach cares to judge that I'm a mom and have got some mileage on this body, they're welcome to! It won't take away from my pride!

    C'mon ladies - let's be PROUD of what we accomplish! Don't knock yourself!

    Color me vain! I wanna rock a bikini this summer too! Although with stretch marks and hanging skin/celulite from so much weight lost I doubt I would even truly "rock" one. I love my bikini but have to wear it with board shorts to look half-way decent, my goal is to wear it without the shorts and look good enough to do it.

    Same here, mammoth stretch marks put a no on a bikini but I have a lovely slinky dress I'd love to be able to wear without my belly sticking out in front of me.

    im going to florida in april for 2 weeks that i cannot wait for and i reeeeally want to buy a nice tankini/bikini or something so thats definitely one of my goals - hoping to drop another 10-14lbs by then so i can really look good :)

    believe me whilst getting healthy is my top priority, being able to buy what i want and from smaller shops is definitely one of the smaller/bigger goals that is driving me :D

    I think everyone needs a visual motivation as well as the just getting healthy bit! You can't really see your insides getting healthier (that would be pretty gross) so we look 2 other visual motivators and i think its fine to do that :o) Mine is my college prom dress- i havent worn it since i was 17 and i want to wear it for my boyfriends graduation- one of his ex's will be there so i want to look amazing thats my visual motivator :o) I don't really want to lose weight just tone up i want abs! I've never had abs due to being a student and drinking and eating rubbish!

    Well, I don't want to wear a bikini, only because I feel like I would get negative attention -- it's a long, complicated story about my neuroses. :laugh:

    BUT, I do want to rock a one-piece bathing suit at the public pool this summer. I haven't had the guts to go swimming in a long time, and I always had the excuse that the kids were too little. But this year they'll be 3 and 5, and I know they're not going to let me keep them home when they just learned we have a pool in town. :laugh: So I'm going to take them, and not be ashamed of my body in my bathing suit!

    I would love to wear a bikini again but I have to be realistic that at 43 years old, a desk job and after having a baby I am never going to look like a 20 something again unless I have a complete body makeover. What I do have to keep in mind is that I can tone what I have and look like a real smoking hot 43 year old. Let's face it Jennifer Anniston and these other beauties look the way they do because that is their job and they have a professional staff to help them. So let's stay focused on "our" reality and not theirs. Honestly, my husband loves seeing me in a bikini now rolls and all! It is when I start comparing myself to these young hotties that I get FREAKED out! And that is just not a fair comparison.

    Sorta..kinda?
    At least you own up to it. So I'll fess up, I've been dealing with weight issues for around ten years now. I lost a lot of weight four years ago and I looked quite comely. My bff however has been thin the entire time..(my pregnancies were the reasons why I gained so much). I am definitely motivated by being more fit and muscular than her. HAHA..I say whatever it takes (motivation wise). I am not content to be 'fat' skinny- I want muscles and lower body fat percentage. I look forward to trumping her lol.

    Love this! I try my bathing suit on once a week as a reminder of where I want to be when bathing suit season rolls around :) Im in Florida, so bikini time isnt that far away!!! We are going to the Dominican Republic in 5 weeks and I am hoping to feel BETTER in a bathing suit, even if I dont have that smokin' body yet :) I WILL walk with confidence in a bikini this Summer :)

    i, too, have tons of stretch marks from huge babies :grumble: , plus i am not sure i'd feel comfortable walking around basically naked anyways :blushing: , but i can relate to WANTING to rock one! I will settle for not HAVING to wear the coverup skirt and to have a tankini where i am not mortified if the top inches away from the bottom for a microsecond! :bigsmile:

    2 years ago I pulled off wearin a 2 piece bikini (one that covers the stomach and is open in the back also had boy shorts like for the bottoms. They were a size large, now they are too big for me. However, I didn't feel comfortable showin off that much back then and I was even a lil heavier. I don't believe I will ever be able to step outta my shell but that's mainly bc of the loose skin that I have from weightloss. I wish stretch marks were my only reminder that I use to be fat then I'd be proud but havin loose skin makes me cry....ALOT. So, no 2 piece sexy bikini for me this summer, it has to cover me up... Don't wanna scare anyone away :noway:

    I already have my swimdress....my Christmas present to myself. I looked like a stuffed sausage in it, but I be when I pull it out when the weather changes I'll be....you guessed it FIERCE! I seem to :heart: the word in reference to myself. My thighs are already looking better from taking the stairs all the time and these stinkin calf raises. :frown:
