Victoria's Secret swimsuit arrived today!

[pjade1]

OK everyone, I ordered a Victoria's Secret swimsuit and it arrived today. It is very cute but not so cute on my body. I bought it in my current size and figured I could take it in if I need to when I lose weight. Anyway, I put it on and took a picture of front/side views for my before picture. Boy, was that ugly but I am inspired by Brooks photo diary so I am planning on taking pictures each month or every 5 lbs lost for mini goals. I am not one for measuring but I think pictures tell a pretty good story and of course, the way my clothes fit. Yes, I do weigh myself all the time but it is nice to actually see results when the scale doesn't go down. Maybe when I get brave enough, I will post my diary, hopefully at my goal weight.

You guys are all wonderful!

Congrats! Being able to see your own progress like this is great.

I need to get mine out and start with it again. I'm terrible about taking photos of myself, but I've made some time for it along the way and am very glad I did. It's been a few months -- I need to do this again. Even though it doesn't feel like much progress, the pictures tell the truth. (even when I backslide )

Even the idea of buying a swimsuit makes me gag It's sooo embarassing...

Maybe next year... I guess I'll have a lot of new clothes to buy by then

I just bought a new swimsuit to swim in myself. I've been swimming during the day outside and getting horrible tan lines, so I bought one of those two piece racing suits. It squeezes my hips so that I have bulges, but I figure it'll look pretty good once I get to goal. That'll be my yardstick too I suppose!
