#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#ya, Im eating healthy, Im lucky I because I really never have had to worry about how much I eat. I think I just do anough physical stuff to stay slimmer. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I have started jogging a couple times a week though and doing some stretches and crunches... Just to tone up a bit for that bikini... hehe#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

I'm feeling it too! I am tiny and stay tiny, but I always get a few
extra winter pounds. All it takes is a little activity to take them off
of me, though. I already eat quite healthy.#ed_op#br#ed_cl#

My bikini woes are more along the waxing line...and buying a new one.
I've had the same bikini since grade 9, it's time to retire it!!#ed_op#br#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Oy, yeah, I could probably pull off the top if I manage to put in time to work on my stomach (I'm not overweight, just could use some toning!), but the damn cellulite! Ahh! I've NEVER worn a bathing suit or bikini without shorts. There has to be a way to get rid of it without paying loads of money... sigh!#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I swim indoors all the time with very little shame.  That said, there is something about outdoor pools that freaks me out - I think it's the broad daylight, which is only made worse by the fact that my pasty skin emits light of its own!!   Getting a tan is as much of a problem for me as losing the extra lbs.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#LOL HM yes you are right. I've got a bikini too but i only wore it like 3 times, up at the cottage, when there is NO ONE around.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#And lix who are you kidding? We have all seen pics of you and know you are so skinny and pretty

#ed_op#/P#ed_cl##ed_op#P#ed_cl#See, SP, I *was* nice and skinny. #ed_op#IMG src="http://forums.equestrianconnection.com/richedit/smileys//smiley24.gif"#ed_cl#  And by all means, I'm not overweight now, just definitely putting weight on.  Those pics in the photo galery are about 1 yr old (the ones I'm in anyway).  That's all I want to go back to, that size.  But this winter, I put on 15 lbs!!!!!! Ouch.  #ed_op#IMG src="http://forums.equestrianconnection.com/richedit/smileys//smiley18.gif"#ed_cl#  It's not the fact that I'm huge now.  It's the fact that I put on weight that fast (well, probably since Sep-Oct and I don't eat horrible or anything.)  Knowing that the pounds come on that fast is scarrrrrry. My metabolism is no longer just taking care of everything.  And my clothes is litterally not fitting anymore. I'm flabby, out of shape.  I wish I could brush it off but my scale and clothes are telling me that if I don't watch it, they pounds will just keep coming on.  *sigh*#ed_op#/P#ed_cl##ed_op#P#ed_cl#But thanks for the complient SP.  #ed_op#IMG src="http://forums.equestrianconnection.com/richedit/smileys//smiley9.gif"#ed_cl##ed_op#/P#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Yes, now that I am pushing 36 I am finding that I have gained a little weight. Not a lot, but I don't get to constantly pig out like I used to! I'm hoping a little self-control will solve the problem, or at least keep it from snowballing. I was a bit too skinny before.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Who has time for the beach anyway?#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#for me it isn't the beach, it is working in the yard, on the tractors, out riding... need to get fit and lose a few more lbs for the breeches to fit really really well!#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#But hey i rode 2 horses yesterday... went for a hack on both my new guys, 4 miles on the one(so around the block) and max 3 miles on the other! they loved it, i loved it... but i can feel some muscles today! hehehehhe#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I too need a new bathing suit. I've had mine for a few years and the material is starting to get all...*bleck*. You know what I mean, when it starts to stretch and fade and such.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I'm definitely not overweight, but my stomach is not flattering (not completely flat and it gets bigger throughout the day as I eat). So, I find I don't like the way I looking in a regular biking (i.e. standard type), nor do I think I look good. I just don't think they suit my body type because I have a small chest and like no hips and am thick through the waist, so the bikini makes my mid-section look big. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I was thinking of maybe a halter bikini, but I don't know.

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I won't even be wearing my show jacket unless I find a great sports bra and lost more weight

hmm It seemed to fit so much better last year. So yea......show jacket and then like chisholm said, if i don't lose more weight, i'm never seeing a bathing suit again.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#
