Last summer I spent almost every day at the pool with my children. I dealt with the fact that I looked like a stuffed sausage in my full piece mommy bathing suit. I was so disappointed in my self for getting to the weight that I did but keep using the excuse well I had triplets there is no way it will ever happen so why bother. I went with the I am fat but I am happy thinking and did nothing.
Had ankle surgery and gained even more lbs. Went home for my Aunt's funereal in December and someone called me Tammy, my older sister who is over 200 lbs. (I was not over 200 lbs, I was 168, there I said it) I came home with the determination to lose the weight and get back in the gym. Prior to the kids I was there two hours a day five days a week. Right now I am averaging 1.5 hours and about four days a week. I am eating better as well.
My goal weight is 130 lbs, I am 5'5, I may even shoot for 125. If I look horrid in a bikini I will not wear it, but I also will not be parading around in a old lady suit either. If I do the work, and get back into shape you are damn right that I deserve to wear a bikini.
Re: Why I am so determined.

You bet you do!
ditto. but I think it really depends on your frame, etc. so I don't feel bad admitting that. I never was and never will be a size 6. I don't think it's possible, actually.
I was a size 6 during the first half of high school. And I'm 5'6"
