Moya's bikini reveal!

Okay, I was challenged to pose in a bikini, I had never worn one before in my life and Brad and Peter thought it would be a good idea that I wore one now. Here are the results...I am 49 and a half years old, I used to be 5'10", I'm a size 14, I weigh 174 pounds and I am still on my journey to good health...

First of all thanks so much to Sue Siri an amazing photographer and friend, if you ever need photo's done for any occasion, she's the one for you. Check out her website and see for yourself!

Thanks also to Jeff Clarke and Joe Barbati, our local firefighting heros, they helped take the pressure off and really, they're not hard on the eyes are they? You can see our city's finest all year long, purchase The Fire Fighters Calendar, it's a fund raising calendar for The Canadian Cancer Society,the NS Fire Fighters Burn Treatment Society and the Firefighters Fund.

Get all the details here including how you can attend the release party July 15th

Thanks so much to La Vie en Rose in Dartmouth Crossing for the bathing suits, and in particular to Jeannette and Katie, you girls are the best!

Wow Moya, thanks for doing this you are a inspiration to all of us, who are working hard to get healthy .. I recently wore my first two piece for the first time in my life and I am not any where near your weight (a lot higher) but I have (so far) lost 30 lbs and felt great in it, I wore it on my Caribbean vacation in Jan. however I can not bring myself to wear it in my own back yard even when I am the only one home.... I guess I will get there someday. Thank you for sharing this... and way to go

The pink is the best Bikini! Moya made a fuss for no reason. Age and Size have been kind to her, she looks fantastic (lots of hard work to get there, I am sure), but being tall, her legs should be insured! LOL Ask Jay-Lo where to buy the policy.. -=Rasta=-

Moya, who communicated before I knew anything about the dare, how good you looked, as my hubby and I listen intently in the morning, but don't get the chance to hit the website. Low and behold, who is posing in a bikini. I was hesitant, but WHHHOOOOEEEE girl, I'm in. Just picked up new bottoms to match the new top. See you at the beach sister..... P.S. you could do 40 easy..
