Hi I am looking for your honest opinion. I am a 23 year old female. I am 5'5" and 160 pounds. Do I weigh too much to wear a bikini. My mom told me I don't have the body to wear a bikini. I just want the opinion from other women who weigh about the same as me or wore a bikini when they weighed 160 pounds.

    Do you have a body? If so, you have a bikini body.

    And anyone who says otherwise is self righteous and not worth worrying about. .

    If you want to wear a bikini, wear a bikini, because the only person whose opinion matters is yours.

    I don't care if you're 95 pounds or 300 pounds, if you feel confident and comfortable in a bikini, do it!

    There is no weight limit!

    mwuah!

    I'm the same weight as you and i think, who cares what others think? People might think we weigh too much for a bikini but so what, the people who say this might weigh the same but might not look it. The world is so judgemental on looks but it really shouldn't matter. If you want to wear a bikini, you wear a bikini.

    I completely agree. As long as you feel comfortable in it, wear what ever style of bathing suit you like. I'm sure you'll rock it! :)

    Well, there's 160 and then there's 160 with muscle. Do you have it? Do YOU feel good in a bikini? If YOU -- and only you, not your mom, sister, friend, hubby, boyfriend -- feel great in a bikini, ROCK the bikini! :drinker:

    The choice to wear a bikini or not is yours. If you choose to do so I seriously doubt you'll be the heaviest person wearing one.

    But since you asked for opinions, my honest opinion is that it depends on how fit you are. 5'5" and 160 lbs can look very different in a bikini depending on your fat to muscle ratio.

    How do YOU feel in a bikini?? No matter how skinny I get I will prolly never be in one again. I don't feel comfortable. If you do, then go for it!! The worse thing would be getting somewhere and staying in your cover up all day or walking around with your hands/arms trying to cover your body. then everyone knows how uncomfortable/self conscious you are.

    Go suit shopping and try on EVERY style till you find the one that makes you feel like a million bucks and THAT's the one. No matter the type!

    Good luck Honey!! You will rock whichever you choose!

    First of all, I have NEVER ever worn a bikini. At any weight. I've always envied those women at the beach who might have had some extra poundage, but they didn't care, wore bikinis, and you know what? They sure looked like they were happier and having more fun that me in my once piece with shorts to cover my thighs. If you have that beautiful confidence it takes for ANY WOMAN to wear a bikini, then rock it girl!

    I agree with the above posts.

    The sooner you learn not to give a damn about other peoples' opinion of you, the better off you will be. You will not hurt a soul if you wear a bikini.

    No one is "too fat" to wear a bikini. Just wear what you want with confidence and eff the rest.

    I wore a bikini last summer when I weighted 165(I'm 5'5'' too). I wasn't really happy in it, but I survived. But that's just me. I'm 138 now, tried a bikini a couple of days ago and felt the same like when I was 165. It's all about how you feel.
