I'm so happy to see this thread still going! I'm headed off to a family swim party, so I'm gonna sneak to the mirror and take a photo of my public-wearing tankini suit. This thread better still be rolling when I get home to post it!0

To the appreciative ones, you are very welcome. Thank you for sharing your progresses and tales with us.
Just for future reference...I would tell a little bit of your story up front.....Let people get to know you......Don't jump in right with "hot bathing suits.....you look sexy" to every one that posted a pic....and "Why no pics.....I want to see your pics too" to those who didn't. By doing this you will come across as more of a supportive/respectable nice guy instead of a hornball creeper. First impressions are hard to break. That said.....after reading your follow up I think it's great if you are trying to offer genuine support to all of the wonderful ladies in this thread.0 -
What an awesome thread- throwing this back up again. Trying to feel confident in a swimsuit- made it my profile pic as well. Need to get an updated one to show some more progress but starting to feel okay showing things off in swim wear.
I have this bikini! But I need a new top, it fits me weird...and I'm guessing mine is a few sizes larger than yours since I got it last summer when I was about 25 lbs heavier than I am now.
I don't know if my pic counts as fat to everyone else, but it counts as fat to me...this was about a 5 or 6 weeks ago (so maybe 6ish lbs ago? Something like that), I'll be taking some new pics next week to measure progress. As of today I'm about 20-ish lbs away from my goal! (BTW--both suits from Victoria's Secret)
You look awesome!!!0 -
This is seriously SUCH an inspiration! I tried on bathing suits last night and CRIED in the fitting room because I was SO unhappy with my body. You ladies are ALL incredible - simply for having the guts to post on here.
Hopefully I will be able to contribute soon
Keep it up!!0 -
Confidence is key! Everyone can tell when you're not comfortable in what you're wearing. Confidence is sexiest, so if you're confident.. WORK IT.
Good job on the braveness and progress to all the pretty ladies on here! :flowerforyou:0 -
I finished my chores in record time considering I was also opening a photobucket account, downloading the snapbucket app, and reading the thread about posting pics at the same time... here goes nothing! And in case anyone was wondering, I am 5'7" and weighed in at 196.3 this morning.
This is a bikini I think I bought back in college. This is the first time I've tried it on in years and it actually wasn't as bad as I thought it was gonna be. Still way too small (see the lovely muffin top, and the triangle top now barely covers my nipples) but I thought I wasn't going to be able to get the bottoms on at all. So, NSV for me!
This is my nod to stretch marks. Maybe they would fade with a tan- most of my scars do. But they bother me *almost* as much as the pooch does. If I got my flat belly back, I could probably deal with the stretch marks. And would, since I would LOVE to get back into a bikini!
Where'd you get the monokini!? You look fab, and I love it! :happy:0 -
bump... After all of these wonderful women posting on here, you have inspired me to get in my bikini and take a pic for you all. Ugh... now I just have to DO IT when I get home. If I chicken out, I will come back to the thread and get some courage!0
-
Bump - you guys make me want to go out and buy a bikini. I only own a tankini. Might have to do that at some point very, very soon - maybe, it will give me the confident boost I need.0
-
Lovely. YOu ladies are really inspirations. Cant wait til Im brave enough0
-
Just a question.... you can see it best in this photo. Does anyone else have way bigger rib cage than their stomach? My ribs stick out so far, and I think I'd look weird in an actual bikini.
Also, this photo kind of makes me giggle. And I'm pumped this rolled!
That suit is TOOOO cute!0 -
oy best I got!

Here's another, you can see I have some thighs going on .
You've got a great bod - those curves are to die for! Wishing I looked that good in a bikini ... not been in one since my daughter was born 6 years ago ...0 -
I have never owned a bikini, but I have promised myself that when I reach 150 lbs, I'm buying one.0
-
I'm not gonna post my bikini picture in the forums cuz...reasons (some of you know why).
<
But there ya go!0 -
No matter what size you are, I believe everyone is beautiful. I am about to head to the beach this weekend and am very self conscience of my figure. But! I will put that swim suit on and have a great time and not care what other people think of me. Because no one is perfect and I can at least remind myself that I am trying to loose weight and tone up. Sport those bikinis girls!0

I have read through every page of this thread and absolutely love it and think all you ladies look amazing! With that being said i never in a million years would have thought i would post an actual picture but you have all inspired me to share, i love how all of you have so much confidence and don't worry about what everyone else says or thinks. I feel i should share a bit of where i came from before i actually post the pic. because i am really freaking out about posting it but feel that i should seeing how all of you have. This is the only swimming suit i have owned since i was about 10, aside from a maternity suit i had but it was really more of a short dress than it was a swimming suit lol. I always wear shorts and a tank top. I have always hated the way i look and constantly feel like i am being judged and i think most of that comes from my mom, she weighed 95lbs. when she met my dad and was always super skinny and growing up all i ever heard was her judging people, they shouldn't wear that, that looks so gross, do they really think they need to eat that, they need to cover up etc. etc. etc. so i always hear that voice in the back of my head and i just assumed everyone else is like her and the funny thing is she is no longer small, she is my size now but still judges others, and i feel thats why i have such a hard time feeling comfortable with my body. So here is my picture and besides my kids and my husband you guys are the only ones i actually feel comfortable with sharing with, so thank you all and sorry this post is so freaking long, maybe i am trying to postpone pushing reply lol
Also seeing all these bikinis makes me want to go try some on because my suit pretty much covers up everything i can possibly try to cover with a suit so i feel like I'm not really sharing as much as you ladies, plus who doesn't love going out and trying on new clothes, no matter what it is, I know i do lol.
Where did you get the swimsuit??? I wants one!!! Sooo flippen cute!!!0 -

No worries! Even though I'm sure most of us here have them, I don't think I've noticed stretch marks in any of these pictures! Just many fantastic women of several shapes and sizes that are all beautiful! I hope to one day look like the ones on here!
Btw, your avatar is too cute!!!0 -
I am so going to post a picture as soon as I find a suit! I can't believe my first post ever on this sight is gonna be me in a suit! Just thought about it, it will be my second! LOL0

Here's hoping this works, it's my first time every posting photos. I'm currently sitting at 226, and would like to get down to 150.
One piece:
Okay, so not a bikini, but same concept:
You look awesome in both and that red is such a nice suit. You make me feel inspired to be 226, I'm at 260 right now. I've got a sort of tankini now, but i don't like it very much.
If you don't mind my asking, how tall are you?0 -
oy best I got!0
