Swimsuit pics no one really wants to see - BEWARE scary pics inside!

coasterqueen wrote: Ok, Aimee challenged me to show my swim suit pics. I have no shame but trust me I KNOW I don't look good in this swimsuit. I wore this when I was 12 pounds lighter and I believe at that time I looked good in it. I took these pics this morning so I could see 1) if I could fit into it and 2) to see where my problem areas are at. Obviously I have a lot of problem areas. Please excuse the fact that I'm white as a ghost, have no make up on, didn't do my hair and am not smiling (who smiles when you are getting a pic in a swimsuit ).

Ok, here it goes.......

#1 frontal view (oh and yes Kylie asked to pose with me )

coasterqueen replied: #2 side view

coasterqueen replied: #3 back view

coasterqueen replied: Ok, sorry if I grossed anyone out. I promise I'll redeem myself when I'm 12 pounds lighter and HOPEFULLY look better in the suit.

Kaitlin'smom replied: OMG Karen you honetly look GOOD, I do see your point about the rear but dang girl you look good in that.

Kaitlin'smom replied: oh PS LOVE that Kylie posed with you, that was adorable.

coasterqueen replied:
thanks. yep, the rear needs work. Thanks for being TOO KIND. I don't look good, but I look better than what I would have looked if I took these pics with 23 more pounds on me.

Maddie&EthansMom replied: Oh ACK! You look so much better than me!

No makeup, no hairdo, no tan, but trying to smile

And no backside pic here...the sideview is embarassing enough.





I will try to redeem myself, too.

booey2 replied: Okay, you are both hot mommas. I can only dream of one day achieving what you both have now. Keep on working out and you will both be happy with your bods soon. I know I will get there someday. Kudos for being so brave to post those pics. I am still to shy to.

Maddie&EthansMom replied: I'm sitting here shaking and about to puke. I can't believe I just posted those.

coasterqueen replied: Ok Aimee I should have NEVER agreed to post my pics because you look AWESOME. OMG, can I have YOUR butt. I'd die to have yours. I KNOW your backside pic can't look as bad as mine. You look GREAT!!!!!

Maddie&EthansMom replied: Karen you are way too nice. I have the flabbiest stomach and the saggiest butt. It's really obscene (my butt). It hangs out of my suit. I look like an add for lipo (the before pic)

TANNER'S MOM replied: Okay ladies.. you guys neither one have anything to worry about. You guys have got it going on. I have stretch marks from one end to the other.. you don't know how lucky you are.

I am currently swim suit shopping..well I mean I haven't actually tried any on.. but I look at them on the rack alot and I am thinking I really need one. But I need one with a good lift in the bra and a butt implant.

Okay this is for those of you who are complaining about the booty. I want Karen's booty. I love Karen's booty.. Karen can I hav your booty!


Now don't you feel sorry for me. I have nothing.. I mean nothing. Not even a bump. Heck I wish my tummy was as flat as my butt!

coasterqueen replied: Mel, I'd GLADLY trade you butts.

BTW, I am wearing a tankini for the very reason of stretch marks and pudding like extra skin that no matter what I do will probably never go away.

Maddie&EthansMom replied: I agree....Karen you have a GREAT figure and a nice butt. You shouldn't complain.

Mel I like your undies. And you are looking AWESOME!!! You've come so far....booty or no booty...you are gorgeous!!

luvmykids replied:
ROFLMBO Mel, you are toooooo funny!

You both look fabulous, I was totally prepared for the worst and you both blew me away! Who doesn't think they could look better in a swim suit but honestly, 100% you could both walk down a beach and NO ONE would say "OMG, can you believe she's in a swimming suit?"

Hot mammas, both of you. I wish I had your nerve, too.

TANNER'S MOM replied: Aimee you are too kind..

Those are my 99 cent drawers from rue 21..lol
After I lost weight.. I only had underwears that people could use for surrender flags..lol So, I went on a cheap underwear search, until I hit my goal then I am going to Aunt Vickies!

luvbug00 replied: WHAT are you 3 talking about!!!! you have Great bodies and stomachs I'd kill for! No fair!!!

mckayleesmom replied: You all look great....I would kill to have your "bad bodies"......I never had a bikini day before...too self consious....and I will never have one again 2 sections....

kayla's mama replied: OMG girls you guys look awesome. I would anything to get into a swimsuit let alone a bikini. You guys are looking good. I tell ya you all are giving me some motivation over here.

MyLuvBugs replied: You look GREAT!!! The suit seems to fit great! And after having two kids I look like you.....I'd be exstatic!!!

coasterqueen replied: Ok, ya'll must have some big ol' blinders on when it comes to looking at my pics.

luvmykids replied: Nope, you're just better than you think!

kayla's mama replied:

Insanemomof3 replied: You guys look GREAT!!!! I am ashamed of my body too. Maybe I will post some pics tonight.

Boys r us replied:
Holy crap Mel..you just made me pee my pants!!!!! The whole surrender flag thing..it was too much for a preggo to handle!


Karen and Aimee....You both know you look FABULOUS...otherwise you wouldn't have had the nerve to post a pic of yourself in a bathing suit on the internet for the whole free world to see Seriously, BRAVO...you are both HOT!!!!!!!!!

Maddie&EthansMom replied:
No, all I've thought about all day is how awful those pictures are and it's depressing me into starvation. I don't know how I will ever get down to the size/shape I want to be in before June. That's 3 months and I have a lot to work with.

Thank you for your compliments though. I feel like you all are lying to me. Those pictures make me want to barf. I didn't show the backside and that is what is haunting my memory the most. Be glad I didn't show it.

A&A'smommy replied: oh hun I think you look really good!!! you would REALLY puke if you saw me in one!!

coasterqueen replied: Hey no Aimee - I showed my backside and it's DEFINITELY haunting me how mine looks.

Nichole - I honestly don't think I look great. I DO look better than I did, but not great. I posted those because I really am not a person to be ahamed of who I am. Whether I'm fat, not fat, ugly, whatever it's my body and I have to live with it. One good thing my very overweight mom has taught me from the time I was a little girl. My dad spent my life calling me fat (when I was younger) and he broke me down. It took me a LONG time to realize again what my mom was always trying to teach me. She gave me the strength so I'd post pics of me in a bathing suit if I was 300 pounds or 100 pounds. That's the truth.

Thanks everyone for the compliments. I agree with Aimee, I think ya'll are lying to me. Di told it to me straight though, I do need to work on my rear and THAT'S THE TRUTH.

luvmykids replied: Who's rear couldn't use a little work? But even so, you look fab. And I'm not lying, scouts honor.

redchief replied:
I don't lie... not even to make someone feel good. If I didn't think I had anything truthful or positive to say I wouldn't have posted.

You do look great! I know how Lisa felt after having the kids... Children definitely change your body, but I happen to think that you moms look awesome. Why if I weren't happily married.... Oh wait. Lisa just might see this, so I think I'll shut up now.

luvmykids replied: Ed thats the second time today coffee has come out my nose reading one of your posts

redchief replied:
Sorry!

So, tell me... Is coffee good for the sinuses?

luvmykids replied:
Better than mountain dew I guess ...the coffee doesn't burn as much!

Brias3 replied: You both are crazy....you look GREAT! How could you think these are bad pics? Kudos to you both!

Hillbilly Housewife replied: You guys... I only WISH I could looks good as the both of you. And Mel - I'd kill for your butt.


Maybe I should post my pics and really make you girls puke. Just one of my thighs is the size of both of yours' together... heh heh

And aint' no way no how i'm eaven coming CLOSE to wearing a bathing suit without one of them thigh-hiding skirts.

Bee_Kay replied: OMG!! You ladies look wonderful!!!
