Ht. 5'6", Start: 271 lb, Today: 216 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 150 lb - A self-esteem booster for the ladies: When I was at my heaviest (and before and after that, too!), I felt miserable because I couldn't find fashionable clothes in my size. If you gals haven't checked out Lane Bryant, you should! It's a little pricey, but the clothes are fabulous and trendy and made to flatter full-figured women. Also, the people are very nice and extremely helpful...I always leave that store feeling like a supermodel. AND the women who work there are plus-size, too! I always get lots of compliments on my clothes, and it makes me actually feel a little better to mention a store that my friends can't shop at, instead of the other way around. They even have bras, underwear, and pajamas. And accessories. It's amazing, and it's just what I needed to feel beautiful while trying to reach another goal. Just because you aren't happy with your weight doesn't mean you have to feel ugly while you're trying to change it! www.lanebryant.com. Check it out, you'll be glad you did!

Awwh hun, don't let yourself miss out on a fun time because you're self-conscious about your body! Try to get in at least a few good workouts before your trip and watch what you eat. You can wear a cute one piece with some cute shorts over it if you want to cover up a bit more. It would be fine. Also tips for right before your trip: limit salt intake, gum chewing, & soda drinking.. (it bloats you= stomach looks bigger.) & do squat jumps! they are tough but they are super effective in firming up your thighs!

Hi Samantha,
I have always hated my cheeks too, but as I got older, they really do not bother me as much. At your age you are identifying with everything, from your looks, your new breast on & on. We are our most worst critics. Try wearing your hair up. I find that when my hair is pulled up into a comfortable, but tight ponytail my face looks smaller then when I wear in down. As you older & start wearing makeup, you can use makeup to accent your eyes, (or whatever you choose). It will draw attention away from your cheeks. But for now experiment with hairstyles. You have plenty of time for make up!! Good luck!!! Most of all love yourself the way you are.............Take Care.
