i returned one of the new suits i bought and got a bonafide bikini instead. it's just a standard bikini, but it's the skimpiest bathing suit i've EVER worn in my entire life. i can't believe i'm going to go out in public practically naked. but hey, if i'm ever going to wear a bikini, i might as well do it now - i'm not getting any younger. now i'm really excited to get to hawaii and get to the beach and wear my skimpy new bikini.

GOOD FOR YOU for buying a bikini.

1) How many swimsuits do you have? 3

2) What style? a one piece, a tankini, and I just bought a bikini today. I have to explain the bikini purchase: it's for motivational purposes only. I don't really intend to wear it in public, but who knows -- maybe in a month or two? And I'm sort of tempted to get my best friend to come take a "before" photo of me in the bikini, then come take an "after" photo around the end of this summer, when I'll be looking all buff.

3) Do you plan to buy more this year? Yes

4) If yes, what style? I would like to go buy a cute one piece to wear in the meantime, since it's going to be a while before I'm ready for the bikini.

5) Are you ready for swimsuit season? Yes and no. I feel pretty comfortable and confident when I wear something that flatters me, but not nearly as fit as I want to be.

6) How about a swimsuit challenge--to get us ready for swimsuit season? Yes, that sounds like a great idea.

1) How many swimsuits do you have? I think I have about 3 or 4 that I would actually wear.

2) What style? They are all bikinis.

3) Do you plan to buy more this year? I might buy another one because I am going to Mexico in June.

4) If yes, what style? It would be another bikini.

5) Are you ready for swimsuit season? No, but I never feel completely ready. I would like to lose about 5 pounds and tighten up the tummy area.

6) How about a swimsuit challenge--to get us ready for swimsuit season? I don't really do full gym workouts but I will participate as best I can.

I had a tankini maternity bathing suit when I was pregnant which was great. I got it at Motherhood Maternity. They are way easier to wear than a one piece when you are pregnant and give plenty of coverage for the belly.
