i'm curious. i'm a little over 5 ft not even 5'1" tho and i weigh 152... but i've seen girls who weigh a lot more then me wear a bikini and look fine but i think i look awful in one and wouldn't be caught dead in public wearing one... do they just carry their weight better or do i just have an insecurity? because i wouldn't say i carry my weight badly i have a perfect hour glass shape and a small waist i just have a little pouch in my lower belly and a weird like roll under my breasts.

{it's supposed to be sure not sore in the title... typo}

    I wear bikinis, even though I have a tube of fat around my middle.

    Somewhat of an insecurity, but love yourself for who you are. A friend of mine is I think about 8 lbs more than me, and she`s curvy but has a flat stomach and carries her weight well and can rock a bikini, but she`s also a little taller than me.

    I agree that it's insecurity... we never see ourselves as we truly are... love yourself and rock that bikini!

    It could be a number of things. Are they taller than you? Do they have a larger frame (bones) than you? They could have a lower body fat% (more muscle, less fat) than you. Muscle is much more dense compared to fat so it gives the appearance of being smaller.

    see i don't know any of that stuff... it was just an observation... i posted some more pictures to my profile the only one you can see my belly in is from easter and it was during a period where i wasn't on MFP and keeping track and had got back up to 160 and i'm 8 lbs lighter now... seems like i'm loosing it all in my belly and a llittle butt and boob too.
