Bikini Problems?

If you've lost weight but have the stretch marks to prove it, you may not feel comfortable in a bikini! You can still find a super sexy suit that shows some skin but covers up those marks! I recently got a Victoria Secret catalog with their sale items and they currently have several 1 piece suits with various different kinds of cutouts. The cutout one pieces are nice because they show some skin but cover up key areas like the tummy or hip area where stretch marks might appear. Check it out if you are tired of plain old one pieces or tankinis!

1.5 lbs to Goal!

If I can toot my own horn for a moment...I am 1.5 lbs to goal! I can't believe that a little over 4 months ago I was 50+ lbs heavier! I haven't been this weight since the early 90s - probably around the time Nirvana was just getting popular! I can't wait to get to goal. I'm a little scared of maintenance but I know I have the tools to lose any weight I might gain so maintenance isn't looking so scary!

Thanks!
