I know how you feel, this will be my first summer out and I got the arm thing going , inner thighs are a mess and I never had much breast due to breast feeding, but dang they really gone now.. I like the idea of getting a swim wear bra, wear it under a suit..Im thinking of really doing that, and I got a bathing suit from this online place a few years ago, loved it for my fat then, hope I can find in my upcoming size, and get a swim skirt maybe, or bike shorts is a thought.. but If thats too much for me, I guess t-shirt will be my friend again this year... hope you find something that works for you, if you find something amazing, please share :)

 OMG! You are reading my mind!  I am having the same trouble, the loose skin in my arms and thighs has me so self concious.  At least with the arms we can wear a shrug or something. But I'm struggling to find long enough shorts. I'm thinking I may raid the boys section for a pair of board shorts as an alternative for my swimsuit bottom.

But on the filp side, we have to remember we've come a long way and deserve to just be ourselves.

I thought I would post my frustration here cause I am sure all of us would understand having similar weight loss stories. I am defienlty going to try some of the suggestions on here and just do. I do it anyway that day was partcularly frustrating it was like the store was teasing me with all short sleeves and low bottoms for swim wear lol.

My suggestion would be to try a swim dress.  It won't help with the arms. but they usually hang low enough to cover the worst of the thigh area.

Good luck.

Well I saw spanx has some swim wear options I just have to find them on sale not spending over 100 for a swim suit I maybe to skinny for next summer lol. I am getting use to the new stores for my size I am so tempted these days to look at my usual stores lane Bryant which is funny cause I can't fit a thing in that store just hard to break old habits.
