Hi, my name is Corin and this is my bikini body. I recently completed the P90X3 Lean Schedule and am very proud of my results. Eating well and exercising 30 minutes each day for 90 days goes a long way! (credit:Corin Laflamme)

Hi my name is Melanie...I'm a mom of 2 and last year was my first time going to the beach post my last daughter in a bikini. I kind of thought that I would get looks or be really uncomfortable, and I was at first, but I got over it and enjoyed playing with my kids in the caves and ocean. I figured that the comfort starts with me...this is my boody, its the only one I have and I'm going to love it! (credit:Melanie Davis)
