...a bikini?!?!?!

I've never been one to flaunt my body even when I had one worth flaunting. Yet, today, one of the other MFP members mentioned bikini season and it hit me. I haven't worn a bikini since 1992!!! And even then, despite having the body for it, I still felt self-conscious wearing it. Now, I know after birthing six kids my stomach isn't a friendly sight to look at, but I would at least like the option of wearing one (with a cover up of course).

    I have never worn one. I do now own two. I would loooooovvvveeee to get in it this summer. I don't think it's realistic, but that is my goal. SInce I have never worn one, I am not sure what weight I need to be to even entertain it.

    Ummm, since like NEVER lol!!! I've always been overweight, even as a child! Even if I'm not able to get in one by the official bikini season, I'll just take a late vacation and wear one then! I'm determined to get into one even if it's in December of this year lol

    I was just telling my husband that I was small as a child, then I blew up only to get to high school and lose the weight. I think I always saw me as heavy even when I was small which didn't really allow me to step out and appreciate my body.

    Also, I really don't think there is a right weight to wear one. Get the stomach in order and go for it!!"! :-)

    Does a tankini count? That was 9 years ago. Otherwise it was in '86 when I graduated from College and went to Barbados.

    I basically will only wear a bikini when I'm out of town and the last time I had one on was when I was in Puerto Rico in Nov 2010. I've worn a monokini since then though!

    I have never worn a tankini either. I did buy one for the first time last year. I am ecstatic about it. I am more than confident that these handles will be gone by the summer and I will be OK. The bikini, I am not so sure.

    LOL never! I always felt naked wearing a bathing suit so it's always been one pieces for me.

    Never. I've never worn a bikini, tankini, or any -inis for that matter. One day..One day.

    What she said. I've been overweight all my life and even when I forced into a monokini I felt like a beached whale. I hated it!
    My goal this year, even if it dec. 31 at 11:59:59, is to not only slip into a bikini but to look good in one too.

    Good luck ladies.
  • ive never worn one ... i havent wore a bathing suit since i was 11 yearsold

    The last time I wore a bikini was in 2008 (wow, can't believe it's been almost four years), went to the beach with some girl friends during the memorial day holiday. I plan on going this year and would love to sport some nice swimwear.

    Last summer...I love bikini's. Even though I wore one last summer and bikini's are all I own, I'm alway insecure about walking around in just my bikini. I'll have on a coverup or shorts...it's so silly but true.

    NEVER...I always felt sad that I never got to wear one...I have been the big girl all of my life sadly! Now I feel like I am too old AND even when I lose weight I will still have rolls and stretch marks or extra skin. Idk how the rolls will ever go away lol. I honestly doubt I will ever be able to wear one but I do want to feel amazing in a tight tank top and cute shorts! I am ready to be summertime fine :).

    The last time I wore a bikini I was a teenager. My stomach is not made for one today. But as the pounds drop off I would consider a tankini.

    never :(
    but thats about to change
  • I wore one when I was about 9 years old and even back then I was way too chubby for it. Not sure why my mother allowed that lol. I just recently bought one this year to take before and after pics in. With a lot of work I may be able to actually rock it in public one day.

    Last summer I wore short-shorts and a bikini top. And an orange see-through top. Does that count lol? Before that it must have been 2 years ago. My goal for this summer is to wear the same short shorts minus all the fat hanging out. And a bikini top with no top over.

    check out monif c and the high waisted bikini to counter your belly being exposed issues.

    I have tankinis but I honestly have never thought about wearing a bikini, I just know it would never work lol

    A bikini....NEVER!!! I've been overweight since my 11lb birth. The best I did after losing 156 pounds and getting to my goal weight last time was a sports bra type top and women's swim trunks. You couldn't tell me I wasn't HOT! Unfortunately I have some loose skin issues on the inner thigh but I've become a master of camouflage.
