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!
My ribcage has always pushed out further, whether I was thin or cubbier. Big ribcages for women run in my family. I have always hated it because I always felt I would thinner if the darn thing didn't protrude so much! lol0 -
uuuh here we go:
I lost about 10lbs then fell off the wagon. I'm starting Insanity on Monday and I'm excited to continue to reach my goals.
As for the worries about stretch marks, I have miles of them, but I've decided to look at them as battle scars. They tell the story of where I was and help me remember how far I've come. Embrace them, they're a part of you and they're beautiful just like all you ladies are.
also sorry those are so big... idk how to resize them

oy best I got!
You look awesome in all three! Nice work.
I particularly like that there you are in the middle one, at 200 lbs, in a bikini and looking really smoking. So often on forums, articles, dating ads ("must weigh less than 125" etc), books, people (probably men or very small women) use "200 lbs" in this *omg 200!!* lbs way, as if this was some terribly huge number of universal badness, regardless of height or build or general fitness, and anyone that or over must be [insert list of negative things here]. I'm pretty sure most of those people have no idea the range of what 200 lbs can look like and the image in their head of "200 lbs!" is more someone at my height (5'5') and perhaps 350 or 400, rather than 200, and certainly not you at 200.
Hope none of that came off weird, I mean it as positive and complimentary.0 -
I don't feel I should even be in a bikini - but my hubby of 30 years has been encouraging me to. I'm down 20# since last October - and I'm hoping another 40 to go before I'm 'done.'
I am encouraged that it's getting there.
Here's my picture I took today
I didn't take a 'before' picture - so today will eventually become my 'before' !
I think this thread is fantastic! Rock it ladies!!!

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?
I'm 5'9, and I've always been told I carry my weight well. I'm sure because most of it is in my boobs and butt! :laugh:0 -
Ok..wow...here goes. I just bought this and I'm really not sure about it. I go back and forth. I just wish I didn't feel like my *kitten* was hanging out the back. Lol. I may order a different bottom. Or send the whole thing back. Who knows. :ohwell:
PS our wall are not really green. It was my hubby's green screen for work. Lol.0 -
Since we rolled, and I'm pretty sure that no one remembers, I'm going to repost my bikini and ask a simple question.
5'9" 255lbs.
Should I venture out anywhere in public in this? Honestly? I mean, please be brutally honest.
I feel okay wearing it in my backyard where no one will see it and around my Love but that's it.0 -
Ok, so this is the first full body pic I have EVER posted. I'm very nervous about this but you ladies have inspired me! PLEASE BE KIND!! I hope this works!!

You are absolutely GORGEOUS!
You should probably order a smaller bottom though because it looks way big on you from the back!0 -

You have no reason to be nervous!
133 pounds is something to be proud of! You're awesome!0 -
order a SMALLER bottom? I think if I did that, it would totally be up my butt. Sucks being "hippy". Lol0

Here's how I feel about it -- if you feel okay in it at the public pool - wear it. Your lady parts are covered, so who gives a *kitten* what anyone thinks about if you 'should' or not. Swimming and going to the water park, etc. are a right for everyone and you don't have to cover your body because of what some fashion magazine says about who should or shouldn't wear a bikini.
That being said, if you don't think you would enjoy yourself, because you would be so self conscious the whole time, I would say grab a one-piece before heading out. Feeling confident is so much more important than anything else when it comes to an outing like a day at the pool with the family.
Now, in conclusion, I say you should wear it. I will go out in my bikini, and you saw that I have a muffin top and back fat rolls and strech marks... I don't care. I feel comfortable in my suit and I don't want to cover my whole body at the water park.0 -
In honor of rolling the thread, here's another bikini that lost out in my shopping trip last week:

Then a different style of bottom? There is a lot of extra material that seems to hang.0 -

I have a tankini... I bought it to go on vacation after I hit my first mini goal of losing 20 pounds... I'm just really self-conscious about my tummy stretch marks... and gallbladder removal scars...0 -

You know what? I didn't even see your stretch marks or scars... put a smile on your face and stand proud and I can assure you others aren't going to notice either. (unless they're *kitten*).
And don't forget guys - really, everyone is so concerned with the way they look themselves (women of all shapes and sizes) that they're really not likely to spend much time judging you for what you're wearing.0 -
Thank you so much! I really have a complex about full body pics and this was so empowering! I hope someday to feel like I feel right now every day!0

I have read every single page of these threads and can I just say that all of you are AMAZING and beautiful!! You gave me the confidence to find a bikini in the house and post pictures of my 47 year old body - stretch marks, cellulite and all! So here goes....
I had to comment on this one! Love how the pup is looking in the mirror with you! How funny!! Love the suit, you look great!0 -

^^This. All of it. I must add a question to it: If you wear it in public, are you going to be too worried about what other people are thinking to have a good time just enjoying yourself? Are you going to be thinking "Woohoo! This is a blast!" or "Oh my god. I should have gotten the one-piece."? If you're constantly worried about what people are thinking, the day is going to fly by and you're not going to have much fun. Wear it confidently and have fun with those you care about, and you won't give the strangers around you a second thought. Personally, I think you should wear it and accessorize with a beautiful, *confident* smile on your face!0 -
Woot! Here is mine again!
290 as of this morning
5'11
I wore this before I was pregnant so I was probably 180 when I wore this last.0 -

Hi all
I love this thread you all look stunning!!! I've lost 17lbs since Christmas and am so much happier and confident with my body but I still have about 40lbs to go till I get to the weight I think I will feel happy and healthy with.
I am going on holiday on Friday and for the first time in 8 years I have bought a bikini. i've also bought a swimsuit so will post a pic of that too, as I feel more confident in that! I swing between feeling 'ok' about wearing a bikini and thinking screw what others think anyway, and feeling too shy to wear it so I'm going to pack it and see how I feel!
My fiance thinks I look fab but he would love me if I was rolled in poo and feathers lol! pics below! Excuse the funny faces I was nervous! Eek!
You are just too cute...I totally giggled! You look beautiful 0 -
not a bikini, but first time in a long time that i've felt sassy in a bathing suit
Love this suit! Where did you get it?? You look great!0
