i know it sounds stupid,but its been over 20 years since ive been able to put one on and  im 42 years old, so not to be so embarrased to get up and walk in front of anyone, it was a huge thing for me. now i do have to say i felt more secure with my ribbed tank top on over it, but im not ready for everyone to see all of my wrinkled skin. no way. but  for me this was way good enough, and for once i felt kinda good. i put the pic on my page, i think it ended up being the last one. excuse the hair, we had just come back from the pool!! im holding at 120, and im 5'6 and i never dreamed of being in the 120's, 182 was as low as i got with bypass, thank you dr. freidman for putting me on topamax, i never would of made it. if i had known about it in 03' i wouldnt of had to have had the bypass. that im positive of. hope everyone is reaching their goals and life is treating you well. have a wonderful weekend!!!

Great WOW moment.  I have been wearing one this year and last but I am more comfy in the board shorts and bikini top.  I do too much "playing" to wear the correct bottoms. 
They are too easy to fall down!  Congratulations.
