Bikini Pic to be proud of

edited November 2024 in Success Stories
since starting healthy eating and personal training which included resistance and weight training, my weight has gone up about 3kgs but i've definitely become more toned,

However i knew it needed alot of work, and so my focus was my cruise holiday with my boyfriend in August.

he took a few pictures of me on my phone and i made a point of avoiding looking at them until I looked through them as i wasn't overly happy with myself in a bikini, however when i was flicking through them i was amazed to see that my body really is changing for the better. I've always had a small upper body and been heavier around the hips and butt, and I went on holiday feeling liked I'd failed because my weight was heavier, but on looking at the pictures and seeing my shape has changed it's been the incentive I needed to keep going.

so I'm going to swallow my pride, and show the picture that got me feeling better about myself... I've definitely got a way to go where thighs and hips are concerned but im getting there.... Oh and btw... my boyfriend obviously approves as he proposed on the holiday :smile: :love: :blushing:

I invite any of you to do the same... I want this to be a motivational thread, if you've got nothing good to say.. then say nothing!!

    I think you look amazing! There is nothing in that pic that you need to ashamed of, EVER. If I looked like that in a bathing suit, that's all I'd ever wear. And I would put pics everywhere, haha.

    Congratulaions on your upcomming wedding. You look great. I don't have a before and after image, but from looking at your picture, your shoulders are not overwhelmed by your hips.
