Current stats:
Weight:314.5
Pant size: 24
So, the bikini thing. Some people might say that 200 lbs is still too fat for a bikini. And some of those people might be right. But they also need to understand that people carry weight differently. I am 2 pant sizes bigger at 200 lbs than my mother was at 200 lbs, and she's 4 inches taller than I am. She is currently 160 lbs and a size 12/14. So, she lost 50 lbs and 6 sizes, which is about 2 inches per 10 lbs.
Last summer, I lost 20 lbs, which was about 1.5 inches per 10 lbs. By that logic, losing 100 lbs would result in a 15 inch decrease, or 7 sizes, bringing me down to a size 10. Thought I doubt I'll be a size 10 at 200 lbs, I'd be willing to bet that I could get down to a curvy size 16, allowing me to feel very comfortable in a bikini.
As for the "beaters" part, that came from my boyfriend. We're both rather overweight (him moreso than me), but we shared our weight loss goals with each other a few days ago and while I want to be in a bikini next summer, he wants to be in a beater. It's a weird way to express our goals to each other, but they make sense to both of us.
He's a more private person than I am, so he won't be sharing how he's doing it, but hopefully we'll both reach our goals by next summer.
