The bathing suit fiasco....
Hello everyone, My name is Jaimie and I look HORRIBLE in a bathing suit. My family and I went on vacation to Destin Florida last week. Days before leaving I went on a hunt for a bathing suit that would cover all my bulges. Turns out they dont make such a thing! I tried on one pieces, two pieces with the boy shorts and finally resorted to jean shorts, a bathing suit top and a t-shirt over that. So much for the tan because my motto has always been "Tan fat looks better than white fat"....When we got home I uploaded all the pictures and the ones of me frolicking in the surf just made me sick. I dont look anything like I did even last summer. I havent worn a 2 piece suit in 10 years. I dont have a lot of weight to lose, 40 lbs, but the cottage cheese legs, the rolls of stomach fat, and the back fat has got to go.
So thats why Im here. I want to look better and feel better. Im buying a bike this week-end and plan to ride 5-6 days a week. Im hoping its an exercise Ill stick with. I cant stand repetition and I love to be outside so bicycling seems like a good choice.Like most others Ive tried all the exercise tapes, the gyms, and all kinds of diets. Ive lost and gained like a yo-yo. This time Im just eating healthy and riding.
Happy to be here-hope to make some friends, find some support and give it too!

, I'm new here too. I have to say you are braver than I am...I refuse to even try on a swim suit.
Good luck!
