I voted SS.  After Joshua it was about a year that I loved my size and shape but I would not wear a bikini because of horrible stretch marks.

After Abbie I wore a bikini right away (well, she was a September baby, so right when it got warm).

Still wore one up until I got pregnant with Collin.

 I swear this child stretched me out so much that I will never wear a bikini again, lol.  Not for my own sake, but for the sanity of all those who will be forced to look at me.

I had a breakdown in the dermatologist office just last week right before getting my annual mole check. I'm uncomfortable with my body now...and their fluorescent lights don't help. When you go from being 6feet tall and 150lbs to 20lbs heavier and none of your clothes fit cause you had a large baby that permanently stretched your rib cage and hips and now extra weight, its tough to accept the new body.

With that, now that DS is becoming more independent and active I feel there might be hope for me to lose some of the weight chasing him around. Maybe one day get me in a bathing suit without a coverup. Right now, I'm sticking with the long coverup.

I am voting SS.  I'm going into my second post baby summer and I'm not ready for a bikini.  I'd have to really work at it.  A lot.  And I'll be honest, I just don't think that will happen.  I'll (hopefully) lose more weight than I have and I need to tone things up, but I hope to at least be happy in a tankini.  I'd have to do a LOT of situps to flatten this stomach after it was pulled over a 10lb kid.  Things are just smooshier.  And let's not forget the stretch marks...

My crazy sister wants to do a weekend in Gruene floating the river with the BMs/GMs as a gift.  yeah...float the river with 10 skinny college kids.  Awesome.

I was never a bikini wearer to begin with, I've always had a tummy, but man am I fluffy. I honestly don't think any amount of diet or exercise will take the extra skin away. It is gross. I am very short waisted and I was HUGE even though I only gained 30 lbs. He just didn't have anywhere to go but out. I'd have to have a tummy tuck to get anywhere near a bikini.
