Oh my, the hard bodies at the pool are going to be quite surprised when I go plop down on a lounge chair... at my size...in a bikini. Even though I still have lots o' weight to lose, I decided I was tired of having pasty white legs because I wasn't enjoying the gorgeous pool at my complex (seriously, it's like The Bellagio)

Working on holding my head high and not worrying about what others think...I'm going to take a page from the boys who can have a giant gut, scrawny legs and a hairy back and walk around like they are the ****...off I go :-)

The last time I wore a bikini I was in 4th grade. I was self conscious even then. I look back at pics from that time and I see I wasn't fat but in my mind I was.

Isn't that amazing...I think back to high school and college and was sooo unhappy with my weight, and now that weight is my goal weight.

Go girl! One weird question.... How would you react if someone saw your scars and asked if you had WLS? There is a lady in my complex I saw at the pool with the scars and she looked great. I wanted to say something, but was worried it might not be received well....

Personally, I wouldn't have a problem with answering if someone asked me...however, do I think it is polite to ask? No, probably not =)

Get'em girl.. you look great!! Kudos on going out in a bikini.. not for me this summer.. maybe next summer though...

Congrats teeny weeny bikini girl!

Rock it lady!!

Woohoo girl! Cant wait to get in a bikini myself!

Good for you! I've rocked the bikini at 300 & at 150... my stretch marks are so faded, my surgery scars are barely visible, and I get really tan, so I love the sun & I've never let my weight affect that. Am I happy with how I look in one? Nope, I wasn't at 150 or 300...but now if/when I get to that weight...I will be happy. I'm older & wiser! I can relate to your comment.
