Let me make one thing very clear: I dont wear a bikini. In fact, I've never worn a bikini in public until last weekend.
So people may be a little confused as to why I got into a tiny two-piece and paraded around a stage to be judged at a figure competition in Denver.
Well, I had something to prove to myself.
Since May 2008, I have lost 130 pounds, and I am incredibly proud of myself.

i'm guessing a bikini in Omaha in January would be slightly underdressed for the weather.
