I thought I'd share my recent swim suit with you all.  It has lots of coverage to cover the butt, tummy and back rolls, but I LIKE IT.

Looks good. I've been thinking about getting a one piece too. Where did you buy it?

I got it at Walmart for about $15.  The fabric was pretty substantial, so I think it will hold up.  They also had a lot of other styles.

Thanks Liz
You're back on the loser's bench, so perhaps it will be a smaller size :-)

Oh, I know it will be as my newest one is still a size 12 and I am a size 2-6 depending on what it is.

I got my last one there and it is holding up pretty well.  I just can't see the expense so many places charge.  I need to try a tankin to see if I can get boobs that fit better.

Tankini's are great!  Love the two pieces that you can get to fit properly and the cute skirts or shorts that they come with.

I have never even thought to try a tankini - I remember years back when they first came out with 1 piece bathing suits with attached shorts - I thought it would great and I could walk around with them if I needed to go to the store first, just put on a t=shirt. Well, it was the worst - I went in the water for the first time and the skirt got wet and parts totall stuck to me and other parts just floated around exposing parts that shouldn't be exposed.  Yet it had a liner but it was still embarrasign having the liner exposed and it was see through once it got wet.    then when I got out of the water, since it was wet, it totally stuck to me making it difficult to walk with all the xtra fabric between my legs.

I went back to my fitted 1 pieces - even though I was heavy, I had a pretty small waist and they looked the best on me.

Now that I have lost weight, I still tend to go to the fitted ones but I look for ones that will make my waist look smalller since I have tons of extra skin there but they do have ones with tummy control and they help

Thanks for the info.  I may go get one of the tankinis that they have there as well since they do hold up.  I have a couple of summer vacations planned, and a swim suit is appropriate.
