^
I REALLY like this bathing suit, but Im a 13 or 14 in pants ( womens) Im sorta in that awkward size thats not skinny, but not plus. ( Smallest jeans i own are a 12, largest 14)
I like it in Pink only, maybe someone could help me find something similar, but just isnt plus sized?
16 and up are considered plus sizes. Anything below is still in the normal womens size section.
Im not saying Im skinny, but Im not plus either.

Question #2:

Should I Buy The Bikini?

I am in the process of losing weight I have gone from a size 16 to a size 12 in 9 weeks. I still have 36 more pounds to lose to be at my goal of a healthy BMI. I plan to reach this goal by January or February of 2011. Every year our family takes a trip to Florida in May. I have always been uncomfortable in bathing suits usually wearing a dress over my suit all day. I have been looking online and every store seems to be clearencing out there swimwear at super low prices. I really would like to be in a bikini for our Florida trip this next summer as I am only 21 and haven't been able to wear one since I was like 14. Should I go ahead and buy a few cute bikinis for next year? I know for a fact I will end up losing the 36 pounds. I have dedicated my life to a healthy life style I will never ever shop in the plus size section again!

Question #3:

I have lost 35lbs recently, work out at least 3 hours each day & still can't wear smaller clothes...WHY?

I was involved in a 12 week workout program thru a tv station, lost 28.4 lbs. & lost 6 prior to beginning that program. I was at the gym 4 days a week for an hour doing different workouts with our trainer, plus I was working out at home doing cardio on my eliptical for at least an hour a day. I can tell absolutely NO difference in the way I look & you would think losing 35lbs you would be able to see some sort of difference. I started at 230 & am currently at 195 & I just turned 44. I'm still wearing my size 16's which makes no sense to me. I haven't even gone down 1 single size. PLUS - what is even more baffling to me is that my thighs & midsection are almost flabbier than they were initially! I mean with all the things the trainer had us doing which included running & weight lifting, plus all the cardio I do at home WHY would there be no change in my body?

About 3 years ago I weight close to 300lbs. - gained the weight due to being in a miserable marriage - I chose to eat - once I got rid of him, I hit the treadmill & that's ALL I did...I was on that thing 3 hours each & every day & I ate healthy choice & lean cuisine meals most of the time...I lost 112 lbs. & at the weight I'm at right now I was wearing a size 12...I was so much smaller & more toned so I just don't get it. I met the man of my dreams, we got married & I gained 40lbs. and am working on getting it off...I'm close but it feels like I have such a long, long way to go because I still look like I weigh 230! Almost nothing has come off the middle and my hips...not like it did a couple of years ago - I mean weight came off everywhere and I looked great. I figured adding the gym this time would be awesome, but it wasn't. Everyone says the eliptical is the way to go too, but I'm just not seeing any results there.

My eating is healthy & I don't really have a problem there...I just don't understand why I still look like a big fat blob even with all the working out I'm doing. We are going on vacation next month & I really wanted to be able to wear a bathing suit, but NO WAY with all this flab.

What am I doin' wrong and what can I do differently??? It is very frustrating to be doing all this work and seeing absolutly NOTHING...no change in the scale anymore & no change on the tape measure!

Thx.

Question #4:

Will I have leftover skin?

I am a 20 year old female, about 6 feet tall and I weigh around 215. This sounds like a whole lot, but I only wear a size 14, work out almost every day, have great muscle tone and and I have giant boobs which probably contribute a lot to my weight LOL. I wouldn't consider myself obese or even fat- I am definitely overweight, but I still like my shape and nobody I know considers me fat- I am in proportion for my height!

My freshman year of college I got down from about 210 to 160 in six months due to a carb free diet and working out a lot. My body never looked better- I wore a size 8, and I could wear a two piece bathing suit proudly and show off my flat tummy! My boobs even shrank a bit, which being an E cup, was very nice to have that load off my back!

Now that I am on the heavier side again, I plan on getting back down to about 160 before I graduate college, so about 55 lbs of weight loss in around 9 months. I have been watching a lot of weight loss shows and seeing women with this saggy skin leftover from weight loss. The first time I lost weight, I did not have any of that problem. My stretch marks basically disappeared and I felt fine. I am just wondering if I should expect that when I lose weight this time? I plan on trying to lose 8-10 lbs a month, so I figure that isn't too fast to the point where it will be saggy like someone who has lost 100lbs with lap band surgery. Plus, I am young so I figure my skin still has a lot of its elasticity. Help me :)

Question #5:

Would I qualify for a breast reduction?

I am 16 years old, and I know that most and almost all breast reductions require you to be at least 18. But I am a 36DDD, yes 3 Ds and I just turned 16 at the end of June. Big breasts run in my dad's side of the family, and it looks like I got that gene. This is such a problem for me because I am an avid tennis player, and I have to wear a binding sports bra that I can hardly breathe in, and it still hurts to run. Also in my high school I'm constantly having to go up and down stairs and I cannot run up them with the average speed and enthusiasm of a teenager, I have to take them slow or my breasts kills me. I feels like someone tied 5 pound weights to my chest, which obviously in very painful. Between all of that I also have the common problem of finding clothing. I'm only going to be a junior this year, and I would love to participate in my schools dances and every girl wants to go to prom but it is nearly IMPOSSIBLE to find a cute dress that will fit my chest. The same thing applies with bathing suits. Unfortunately being a 36 I can't shop at most plus sized stores such as lane Bryant because the smallest size they offer is a 38. In addition to all of this it is also emotionally tormenting because my family teases me all the time about how big they are. I mean of course they come in handy sometimes, but overall they just tear me down, quite literally. So if anyone can help me, especially if you yourself have gone through or is close to someone who has gone through a breast reduction surgery it will be GREATLY appreciated.

Question #6:

what type of bathing suit should i wear? [plus size-pics]?

On saturday my boyfriend and i are going to the beach. Im plus size so i hate my body, mostly in a bathing suit. This is the bathing suit i have in mind: a tankini, it also comes with one of those like cover up skirts (not shown in the pics) but i hate my stomach in them. Please give your opinion on if i should wear this or not, or if you have any suggestions thanks :]

Note- the blue and pink are the same exact suits just different colors, the pink is the one that comes with the cover up skirt. Also ignore my friend and i's faces

thanks so far you guys, as for the bathing suits i did get them at a store that sells plus sizes -deb shops
oh and btw i didnt "make myself fat" its a medical condition, if u look my arms and legs really arent that big like most "fat people" its just my stomach area. so yea dont say sh!t unless you know whats wrong with me, kthanks :]

Question #7:

What do you think...is it true that ANYONE can have defined, flat abs?

They say women's bodies come in all different shapes and sizes. Well, some girls are born with bodies that naturally seem perfect, no matter what they eat or how often (or not often) the work out. While others are born with bodies that remain overweight from childhood, past the adolescent ages, through adulthood. And then there are people who aren't necessarily "fat" and are the average weight for their age and height, but are still soft. They look fine in most clothing but sometimes need to take care that they buy looser fitting tops, or their thyes and stomach jiggle ever so slightly when they are wearing bathing suits.

For example, i am a softball player and cheerleader. A girl on my cheer team drinks and eats whatever she wants, always drinks and eats fast food on the weekends, and hardly ever works out (let's be honest...high school cheerleading workouts at my school are not exactly tough) but has always been and still remains absolutely tiny, with perfectly proportioned features.
5' 4" and 100 lbs

A girl i've played softball with for years has always stayed active, but doesn't eat the best, and is farr overweight, always has been.
5' 6" 180ish lbs

And I was always relatively small, but as i grew up and went through puberty i became the third type. I am 5' 4ish" and between 115 and 120 lbs. I work out almost every day and have become increasingly concious of what i eat compared to how active I've been day by day. Yet i still have some jiggle, and almost an inch or two of fat around my midsection.


My friend has a petite body figure--5' 3" and used to be the most active out of anyone. When she she was diagnosed with Anorexia, she ran 5-8 miles a day, with weights/circuit training/etc. A total of 3 hours or working out a day. Plus the fact that she hardly ate anything at all. Even when she was 90 lbs and had hardly any fat on her body, she still did not have flat or defined abs--and trust me, she worked more on her abs than on anything else. More than anywhere else, she still had a LITTLE bump of fat on her lower stomach...with her strict dieting i feel like theoretically that should not have been the case at all.

So what do you think? Is it simply the sad truth that some body types simply can't obtain those flat, "six pack" abs, the perfect body, while others naturally have the luxery of such a tight body? I'm just curious because I'm freakishly obsessed with fitness and body type, ha.

Question #8:

Going on a trip and possibly going to a water park,what do i do?

well when i was in high school i was alot bigger than i am now. but i am still big. size 14. I am so scared to go to a water park, and this will be the first time i will try to attempt on wearing a 2 piece bathing suit in public with my husband. I am so afraid. I do have cellulite on the back of my thighs and my husband said that im not quite thin enough to wear a revealing 2 piece. I want to look the best that i've always wanted to but scared. i was looking and my stomach is maybe hanging and inch or 2 off away from me and i want it gone. I have till the last week of this month to get my stuff in order. what do i do? plus i thighs are monsters. from loosing weight or something, they kind of sag in the crease of your two thighs. help
I want to show off my hard work but not look bad.

Question #9:

Help!?!?Teen Girls Only?!?!?

I'm 16 years old and will be 17 in Jan, and I hate my chest size. My chest size is 36A. I hate the way I look and feel with cloths on or off. I don't even feel right. I know that other girls put the same question up, and I know that your gonna say that I'm still young yet. But I hate it, my mom even makes fun of my small size. I hate bathing suits, or cute shirts (not the open cut shirt) just wearing any kind of tops makes me self-conscience. I have a pretty big butt and people say that thats what makes up for it. I sometimes feel like there is something missing, I don't want a chest to show off or anything. I just want to feel better about myself. My mom has d's. I hate shopping for bras, or cloths. I wear sweaters alot because I hate how I look. I don't want a chest for anything else but to feel better and not feel like that there is something missing. I was thinking maybe when I'm older to get them bigger even though I really don't want too. I don't know what to do. My mom doesn't help out at all, she just laughs, and I heard her say that she is happy that I am small, and hopes that I stay like that. I try to put on a little weight but that doesn't help it just goes to my butt plus I have a high metabolism, so I only way like 112 if that. I don't know what to do, i don't know if I should try to take supplements to make them grow. My chest is a 36A and I want to be a 36B or 38B. I hate my body soo bad. It might sound wierd but when I was little I would pray that I would someday feel better and have the size that I always wanted... So any advice, please no mean comments, its bad enough that i hear it from my mom...so please help me and if you can thanks, p.s. sorry for writing alot.
My height is 5'3

To proove it to her, I went to the most expensave store in town (we live in California) and of coarse, 80-90% of the clothes were for size 0-6.

So then, i won it. i told the seller that i wouldnt be able to pay for it until tomorrow, because my boyfriend had the credit card. she said okay, btw its for a child..
i was pissed! on the info about the suit on eBay, it didnt say anything about it! here is the exact copy of it:
THIS IS A NEW GREAT LOOKING GIRLS 2 PC BIKINI STYLE SWIMSUIT FROM SANRIO’S HELLO KITTY IN A SIZE 10-12 WITH THE ORIGINAL TAGS ON IT. THE SWIM SUIT IS NAVY BLUE WITH WHITE STRIPES. THE TOP IS A HALTER AND HAS HELLO KITTY WITH AN ANCHOR ON IT. THERE ARE DECORATIVE PINK PLASTIC RINGS ON THE STRAPS. THE BOTTOMS HAVE A PERMANENTLY ATTACHED BELT. THE BACKSIDE HAS “HELLO KITTY” ACROSS IT WITH A SMALL HELLO KITTY FACE. THE BIKINI IS FULLY LINED.

do you identify what it says about ANY children? will eBay make me pay?

Question #15:

Question #16:

Losing weight from my chest?

alright so I've gone on a diet lost 10 pounds but i carry my weight on my chest ( stomach , breasts)
and im a size C in bras...i hate that! im only 14 i personally don't think its cute , any exercises or diet tips that can help? today when i worked out i put my belly band ( its like a wrap that helps you lose water weight from your stomach , legs , wherever you put it.) on my breast .. will that help ?
plus last summer i was a B and went shopping on a whole bunch of bathing suit tops and bras that i just don't want to give up .. help me get back down to a B please? =] thanks

Question #17:

why are black women and white men couples uglier then white women and black guys?

has anyone else noticed that?. of course the whole white girl and black guy is really popular now. but when i see black women and the white guy thing ( which is once in a while) the couple is never cute. wheather one looks better then the other or there just both ugly. like i saw this couple where the black women was ugly and really dark and the white guy was tall but ugly to with gages the size of texas and they were in the bathing suit section and you could tell he was ashamed of here cause she was all short and fat and plus there not the same skin color which made it even more embarrissing. idk if this is the case for most BW and WM couples. but why can black guys get beautiful blonde white girls but black women are stuck with the ugly bottom of the bucket white guys? the good looking ones would much rather go with an asian girl. and have you noticed in BW and WM coupled, the black women usually looks better becuase pretty black women would like to go out with white men but all they get stuck with is the ugly ones cause they cant get one in there own race.

Question #18:

plus size bathing suits? pics!?

ok so i found 2 different bathing suits that i like. but idk which to get.
first one
Click Here
with
Click Here

second (i like this one more)
Click Here

which one do you like more?
the problem is tho...idk which one will be more flattering. i normally dont wear ones with out skirts so i might get a cover up. not sure yet. but what do you think? do i get the one that is more flattering that i like. or the one that i love that might not be as flattering.

o btw i got a bathing suit from walmart just like the pink one in the same size and its kinda small but this one doesnt have a bigger size so it could be a tad small too. so another reason to get the blue one right?

please and thanks
or if you find me a really pretty, and cheap bathing suit for plus sized girls you could give me a link for that too. :)
