I'm 5'7 and about 146. Started here at 180 I believe, my original goal weight was 145 but I've changed it to 135. And thank you. :) I wouldn't consider myself chubby in clothes...but looking at the pictures I do have quite a bit of fat left to lose it seems.

Thank you. :) Well if you think about it, now I have an awesome all I do is run and before lifting picture. ;) Its just crazy to me that I can be at my original goal weight and still not like what I see. I like it better but.... It's like everything you thought to be true and that you learned all your life was a lie.

Thank you everyone. I tried it on again and felt a little better in it, the lighting in fitting rooms sucks and I was able to adjust the sides so I wasn't so squished. I also bought a tankini that actually looks pretty decent too in case I chicken out. I really appreciate all the responses.

not scared, just lazy, and I don't have a gym membership so I'll have to figure out the bodyweight strength training or invest in some weights, it's overwhelming. I actually have that book but yet to crack it open. Ok maybe I'm intimidated. Lol

Thank you everyone. :) I really wasn't fishing for compliments so I hope you're all being honest. I totally have a ways to go before I get to where I want to be, but I want to feel good in the mean time. I really need to face the facts and lift weights.

no for sure which is why I needed some input. I have to constantly take pictures of myself to actually see myself. I don't trust what I see in the mirror anymore. The suit was just harder for me to decide. that is a wicked suit though. I'm sure you can pull it off!!! The suit i'm wearing has a push up bra thing so it's all…

I'm hoping to actually be in the water. :wink: :)

Thank you. :) I was going to say, i'm the freaking poster child for too much damn cardio and no lifting. lol I look great with clothes on. but whomp whomp naked. I'm almost at my goal weight and still not freaking happy, so annoying. My bottom half is definitely gah! I think i'm mostly insecure about my stomach because…

HA, thank you. It runs in my family too, it's horrible!!!! I want to go in and have everything freaking removed.

I've been reading that with a pear shaped body that you should try to stay away from the swim shorts because it calls attention to the bottom? I have another pair of bottoms that are solid black that go a little closer to my belly button I may try. I'm mostly uncomfortable about my stomach.

i've been around the block a bit on here, i totally know what you mean @rainbowbow .....And where I would agree with you, I did honestly ask for opinions so, you can be an *kitten* it's fine. or a creeper. I've gone through pretty much my whole life being overweight. The last two years after my child was born I was able to…
