I'll be wearing my last-year's tankini. Black. I like the tankini for several reasons, not the least is that when the top slips up and shows off my oh-so-sexy tummy it freaks out my skinny girlfriends that I'm not freaked out.

whaaa? LOL we do have a place here for that called hippie Hollow! Never been though~

I've been to Hippie Hollow!

Years ago.

When I was skinny.

And a hippy.

Instead of a hippo.

Hippie to Hippo?

OMG, Donna, you are hilarious!

Now self-deprecating humour is not just my specialty, I see you love it too.

Hey Hippie Hollow - isn't that near Austin? Some Past or Current Texans in the house?

Happy Band (And Life ) Journeys To All....

I bought a new one-piece swimsuit last summer that will do for this summer. It isn't all that glam, but NEXT summer, I 'm going for a tankini. They are soooo cute. By then I should be retired and I want to look a lot better than the old ladies I will probably be hanging out with. :heh: :heh:

At this point ....thinking of wearing a swim suit makes me want to run and hide and CRY!!!! I tried one on not to long ago and it was awful. My boobs looked liked pancakes and my hips looked like they were jelly rolls and my stomach....welll never mind you get the picture....and of all things we are putting an above ground swimming pool in our back yard right now!!!:girl_hug: I think I will deffinatly be in a tee shirt and shorts until I get lots of plastic surgery!! Yuck!!!! :faint:

I was quite surprised that I felt more anxiety over swimming in public this summer than I have ever felt before (at 330 lbs). Eric (DH) said it was because of the hanging flabby stuff ( this seems to be showing up the more I exercise and build up muscle).

He thinks PS will fix my head- but I doubt it- It will always be a one piece for us (me and my 8 " bat wings)

I can identify with that. I was trying on swimwear yesterday, its just hit the shops here (in the middle of winter). Oh. My. God. Sigh.

My head is still stuck in my 20's, my body is careering towards 40, lol.

Tankini and boarshorts for me, I have developed the most awful saddlebags somewhere in the last 10 years. But I will have to buy online, I need a swimsuit top that will handle a pair of DD's and has an underwire. No matter what I did I just couldnt stuff my bosoms into the tops I tired on.

Luckily I've found some really nice online stuff, not grandma bathers at all. I've changed my mind about cosmetic surgery. There is most definitely going to be some lipo going on here. I'll have to wait till I'm working (3 years).

I got boys swim shorts and a workout bra top on clearance at sports athority for 5.00 shorts and 5.00 top hehe

Hey where do you buy online? are they good? I am DDD and Can never find in store tops :) I had given up!

Nana~

OK, after having a wardrobe malfunction a few week ago in the ocean, last year swimsuit went by by. so it is a pair of shorts and a sports bra for the rest of the summer. by the way the suit was a one piece, the girls came out of hiding.

No more one piece Tent Dress swimsuits for me! I first bought a two piece tankini with boy shorts. I now have two tankinis with teeny weenie bottoms. I love them! I don't even bother with the cover-up anymore!
