    In case it gets missed somehow, I decided to post my Original Post in this thread too:
    It doesn't matter if you have five pounds to lose or fifty, you can still feel good about the person you are and the hard work you're putting toward your health! Confidence sometimes has to come from 'faking it till you make it' .... and if that means you pretend you're a beachbodied minx until you get there, so be it. I believe it was En Vogue who said, "Free your mind, and your *kitten* will follow".

    Get your *kitten* in your beach gear and let's see what real women look like.

    Okay ladies, you really inspired me with this real women in bikinis topic, so here I am in a bikini - no makeup and no retouches. This is the only true bikini I have ever owned, despite the fact I once weighed 125lbs (at 5' 10")!! I bought this a few years ago when illness caused me to become a temporary size 8. I weighed 155, and wasn't confident enough to wear it. After seeing the great pics in this thread, I decided to try on the bikini. I have lost at least 19 lbs, and I don't think I look too bad in this. I would probably look better at 160 or 150, but I don't think I would scare anyone off the beach.

    Hope the link to my image works...

    I absolutely love this discussion, because I have not even owned a bikini for about 7-8 years because of how uncomfortable I was with my weight. Hopefully this year I will feel good enough about myself to purchase, and actually wear one! This blog is so motivational I love it!

    I've never owned a bikini. I'd look a lot like Kortney (sp?) but with more saggy belly flab. Not gonna happen yet. I also have two surgical scars on my belly...not sure those will ever look presentable. :P

    Since that "don't wear bikinis" thread is about to roll, I thought this one needed to be bumped.

    I am SO jealous of everyone's bravery in posting their pics. I could never wear a bikini just because of my belly but I think you all look awesome and I'm proud of everyone's weight loss!

    I want to go buy a new swimsuit now! Might even consider a tankini??
