My new swimsuit....

I must admit that I have always hated shopping for swimsuits and this time was no different. However, the results this time where way better than I ever could have dreamed! I went to the store with a skirt type suit in mind but all of the skirts this year are VERY short and that just defeats the purpose. So I found some board shorts which manage to cover the bottom of my tummy and the top of my thighs which are my biggest problem areas. Then ...get this....I got a BIKINI top!!!!! A year ago if you would have bet me money that i would be in a bikini anything ever again I would have lost. It was the greatest feeling. Granted I am a ways from my goal but it sure did feel good.

Yeah for you that wonderful & you look great....you have a nice waist. Keep up all your hard work it's defiantly showing!!!!!!!!!!!
Take Care,
Katherine

Nice weight loss.  I'm curious you have any special thing you do to lose weight so good seems like mine is slower than I'd like. started at 295 now at 219.5, RNY 12/01/08

I lost 35 lbs before surgery...  so i had surgery at 258... maybe that's the difference in it.  i count this for when i started this process (my 3 month waiting period for insurance)...

FABULOUS

You look Fabulous! Where did you find the board shorts?

I got the board shorts at Target. The only ones that I considered "long enough" where in the Plus size but the 16's worked after i put a drawstring in the waist.
