June 20th is the 1st day of summer...

how much are you trying to lose by then?

if you were to wear your bathing suit now, what size would you be?

what size bathing suit do you want to be?

samchez0

I hope to lose about 15 lbs by then, maybe 20. I have no clue on sizes.

LuckyAndi

The last bathing suit I wore was a size 16, almost 6 years ago. My weight is coming off mostly from my waist and hips, so I know I'll be in a smaller size, maybe a 10-12. The only part of me that I have problems with where bathing suits(and most clothing) are concerned are my thighs, and those aren't going anywhere anytime soon.

I have 25lbs to lose before I reach my goal of 150. I won't lose that by summer, but I should be another 10-12lbs down.

PLEASE NOTE IVE NEVER WORN A BIKINI AND THIS IS GOING TO BE MY FIRST ATEMPT TO!!!

im currently pregnant (until sunday)

to lose weight im going to walk 3 miles daily (obviously going to have to build myself up to it) and go on a 1200 calorie diet (recommended by my doctor and under supervision.)

trying to learn portion control with that of course and drink half my body weight in ounces of water.

currently im thinking id be a size 16 bikini

but losing the baby weight (delivering) and sticking to my "plan"

I think if I push myself I can get down to a size 12 bikini by "the 1st day of summer"

I'm in maintenance now and wearing a size 6 tall jeans/pants and tall medium size tops. I'm 5'8" 145 pounds, give or take a pound up or down on any given day. I was wearing size 12 last summer before I lost my weight, so I'm looking forward to this summer for sure!

kaitlinfurby13

Right now it would be a loose size 14 (not quite 12 though). I hope it is a size 10 by swimsuit season. In my dreams a size 8. No bikinis here no matter what size it is though lol.

This must be your first baby. We all start out with the best of intentions. 1200 cal is too low for most people let alone a woman who will have just given birth. Get a different doctor. I wish you the best but don't feel bad if you can't always stick to "plan". babies cry all the time, gassy, hungry, poopy, they want to be swaddled tighter, the suckie fell out....etc. Those early weeks or months can be rough, you may not feel up to walking 3 miles a day or have time to make sure to drink half your body weight in water.

I recently hit maintenance; size 8.
Last summer I was in size 12.

I am a nudist so my suit always fits...hahaha.. Though some days it looks wrinkly. (We are all nudists under our clothes lol).

SuperSizeMeNot

This isn't my first baby.
I'm under Dr supervision.
I'll still be taking vitamins because of the calorie restriction.
I'm only walking to lose weight because of having a baby. (Instead of pushing myself to do something extreme)
I'll also be having my children with me in the stroller and baby sling while I'm walking.

Thanks for the "advice" but I'm NOT a new mom. So I'm not new to setting a "plan" after having a child.

And in my personal experience as a mother, newborns are the easy to care for. Lol

I'm hoping to lose 10-15 lbs by then. I'm not setting a higher goal due to having a hard time getting this weight off. Im currently 212 hoping to be 200-195 by then.

My friend is a nutritionist, she told me (when I weighed 215) that taller people usually lose up to 10 pounds a month at that point.

Not if they're not eating at a caloric deficit makes 10lbs a month feasible, they won't.

SuperSizeMeNot

That was for females over 5'5

Yeah she did say something about limiting calories

ybee1991

size 8/m, I guess.

victoria_1024

I'm in maintenance now and wearing a size 5/6. Last summer I was in a 10-12 and the summer before that I was a 16-18!

Asher_Ethan

I would love to lose 5 pounds by then. I think my suit size is a medium, I wouldn't mind still being a medium.

Your first newborn was. Not all babies are the same. My mother has a dish of stories about how different each of us was in the beginning. None of the four of us had the same habits or personalities.

Currently, my size 14 suit that I bought in December is gettin' seriously baggy in the behind. By June 1st? Hoping to be in a 10, but since I'm rather large-breasted, I may be in the 12 range. Either way, it's all good.

Wetcoaster

Please don't care. eat healthy and dont worry about time.

yoursingingrealtor

I have never owned or worn a bikini before. This summer I will. A first for at this ripe old age. I'm thinking I will be an 8/9

This is my motto

My current bathing suit is a size UK14 / US10.
All my current clothes are getting pretty baggy but I'm not comfortably fitting into the next size down just yet, but by June I should happily be in a UK12 / US 8.

I'm getting married in October and I'm hoping to be back to my old size by then, UK10 / US 6.

hekla90

I recently wore last years which is XS bottoms and S top, it's a tad big, but I doubt I'd fit an XXS! I've only worn it s few times so either way that's the size I'll be wearing

middlehaitch

I am off on vacation in less than 2 weeks. My bikinis are between a 4 and an XS depending on fit. I hope they still fit by the time summer arrives.

Cheers, h.

playmadcats

Found at biggest I couldn't get suit to fit a 16 I couldn't breath in an 18 fell off shoulders.
Now I wear women's trunks and a rash vest. Trunks a size 10. Vest a size 12. Or a small to medium depending on brand. Though have just bought one size 12 that's too big though think that's a brand rather than size.


Am finding swim gear a similarly addictive to the shoes addiction that some ladies get. Have 7 sets of trunks (though one too big) and about 12 tops yet always keep looking for more.

I'm losing about 1lb per week. I'm going away in early May and have already bought my swimming costume/bathing suit. I'm hovering between a UK12/14 currently, 14 a bit big, 12 a bit snug because butt and boobs, my waist fits just fine! And calves if we're being really pedantic. Anyway, I have bought all UK12s in my shorts and bathing suit (no bikini because I couldn't find one I liked cheap enough for potentially not getting worn at all as I'm not doing a beach holiday). Most of May will also be a diet break so I expect to be the same size in June. I don't care, it's not about this summer, it's about all of the summers for the rest of my life, I'd rather eat a little more now and be happy and take a little longer to hit goal.

I have never lost 10lbs a month because I have never set out to lose more than 1lb per week FYI, sweeping statements are sweeping. I'm 5'5 and started at 220lbs.

middlehaitch

@playmadcats, glad someone else has a massive collection of swimwear. I have 6-7 mix and match bikinis and nearly bought a new one today. I resisted, I may find something more interesting in the Caribbean.

@VintageFeline is that a new hair colour? I love it.

Cheers, h.
