A Jennifer Lopez bikini selfie has unintentionally inspired hundreds of moms to post their own body-positive selfies in what is being dubbed the “#JLoChallenge.”
Lopez, 50, stunned the Internet on Sunday when she posted a bathroom selfie on Instagram wearing a white two-piece bikini with the caption: “Relaxed and recharged.”

Fans, particularly women, praised the photo which showed off the mom of two’s impressive body. The Instagram post has since garnered over 8 million likes.
Many argued that if J.Lo can post a casual bikini selfie at 50, while also being a mom and one of the most successful entertainers in the world, then there’s no excuse why others can’t.

“Let’s proudly share our bathroom selfies in workout clothes/swimsuits with the world!” she wrote. “If Jennifer Lopez can do it, we can do it! Regardless of age, size or shape, we CAN be healthy!”
“I'm not comfortable in a bathing suit, but it's all in my head,” posted mother of two Katelyn Beevers, who shared that after giving birth to her children she was “exhausted and unmotivated.”
That all changed, however, after two of her friends encouraged her to run a half marathon.
