    I think I was three the last time I wore a bikini. I seriously doubt I'd wear one again no matter what my weight. Just not my thing.

    It's all in your head! I've seen some people twice my size completely comfortable with wearing a bikini on the beach. However, I've seen people thirty pounds lighter than me who wear one-pieces with skirts. So basically whenever YOU feel comfortable to wear a bikini is when you will be ready.

    Me on the other hand. Probably never. Even though that is also my ultimate goal as well!

    I don't like two-piece suits. I always feel naked in them, but a lot of women wear them who are my size (14/16), and they look good. It's all about confidence.

    Pre-baby. Now even after I lose these last 20 or so lbs I doubt I'll ever feel comfortable in a bikini. Stretch marks+ C-section... Umm no!

    I was always comfortable in a bikini. If I was in a swimsuit, it was because I was doing something fun. Doing something fun a lot of times means leaving self-consciousness behind because, chances are, I'm going to look stupid. Like dancing. I'm a terrible dancer. Think Elaine on Seinfeld. :laugh: But I'd rather be a lousy dancer having a great time than a miserable wallflower missing out on the fun.

    And one-pieces always made me look square and flat.

    I am 5'8" and some change, 127, and am still waiting for the day that I will be comfortable in a bikini.... it's all body image/mental. My sister has a very different figure than me but with her confidence, she is very comfortable in one. I hope to get there one day.

    Do you have kids? If not put the shame down right now. I wish I'd worn one prior to having my child. Ironically, I got really fit after I had her, more so than before, so I grew nuts and wore the bikini! STRETCH marks and ALL! Shame to the side child!

    I was 175 lbs at 5'7" when I first wore a bikini....about 30 yrs old, and felt like a goddess!!! (because my husband loves my body!!...... and it helped we were in the Dominican Republic on holidays lots of European's and the Dominicans like a girl with a bit o'boo-tee!! )
    The last time I wore a bikini was on a spa retreat with my sisters and a close friend. No one judged me and quite honestly other people's opinion of me are none of my business.
    The time I FELT the most comfortable in a bikini...last year in Cancun at ....you guessed it 179 lbs ( Oh and 42 yrs old!) The difference is inside of YOU and I truly believe the one trait that is truly sexy and hot.......CONFIDENCE!!!! That is hot!!!!
    Dont worry....you are beautiful...roll with it!!! =)

    No, I don't have kids but I've been a little on the heavy side since puberty. Since I am just now starting to lose weight I still don't feel comfortable. I'm hoping my the time spring break comes around I will! Thanks for the encouragement!

    I don't think I will ever be comfortable. It's too hard trying to find a bikini top to fit a 12E cup so I always feels exposed even if it's not about my stomach!

    Unfortunately, I've never been comfortable in a bikini. Even when I was in shape, I felt self conscious and worried the whole time I would be out in one. It's my number one goal to be able to wear a bikini proudly and with no shame!

    This past summer. I was out with my partner and I walked into the pool area and heads turned. Of course I thought it was cuz people were staring at my frontal buttocks, but it was not.
    This coming summer, I plan to get the tiniest one I can get away with, just cuz I can.
