It has been so sweltering hot I can't wait to get into a bathing suit next summer! Being sleeved on August 16, 2012 7am. Anyone else want to visit swim suit land?

Let me tell you, putting a bathing suit on and being seen in public was my biggest insecurity. This year I put one on and I don't care! I'm enjoying myself and getting my exercise. And honestly, most of the women out there look very similar to me anyway! So I say out that suit on and don't let that insecurity get to you. Enjoy yourself and be cool!!!!

I am almost to goal and I wore a bikini to the beach in late June, everyday for a week! I was a little self conscience about by skin issues but then I began to realize as I looked around the pool and beach that I had the best looking bod for a 40 something year old out there! Dont get my wrong, some were thinner but had odd shapes and just didnt look good in a swimsuit. I was smoking hot! or at least in my head I was. lol I felt so much better when I saw that I was not standing out as the big fat one or the one with the misshapen body. I blended right in and I even turned a few heads! My husband said to my daughter as they were walking up the beach toward me and my MIL.."who's that little woman talking to Ma?" Neither of them recognized me! LOL. He was just wondering who that pretty woman was talking to his mom. He said he recognized his mother, but not me.. I laughed really hard at this. I said to him.. but you just saw me in this swimsuit at the pool.. I guess I was standing on the beach and looking super cute at the time! LOL. I am accepting my body more and more these days thanks to the sleeve!

I just got there and it feels really good, not brave enough to wear a bikini however.

I got a nice xl one-piece at target (brand is somehow associated with spanx) and feel pretty good in it. I wish it had a little more room for boobs but it does hold in my tummy nicely.

I've only been around family so far but I'd go out in it if I had the opportunity. I took it to the beach recently but it was cold so I didn't use it on that trip.

It'll happen for you!
