What size/weight did you feel confident to wear a bikini

livestar

For me it's more about my % body fat than the weight that will make me feel comfortable. If I got my % body fat down under 25, I'd never get out of a bikini.

W I was near my biggest I wore one, I just love the water and can't stay out of it during summer. I weighed about 158ish at my biggest in a bikini. I am 5'1 so that is alot of weight to stack on a shorty like myself. I am now 125 and that's where I am most comfortable. This summer I am WAYYY more comfortable then last, although I weighed less last summer (120-123) I had little muscle defenition, this year I have lot's and it makes all the difference even though I weigh a couple of lbs more. I've had 3 kids too so it's taken lot's of dedication to get where I am now but trust me after you get to your goal weight and then you focus less on cardio and ALOT more on strength it'll tighten you up in no time. Good luck!!

I'm 5'6'' & I've always been curvy. I wore a bikini in college at about 165lbs, but I didn't feel confident. Once I had kids and gained more weight, I didn't feel comfortable at all wearing a swimsuit, let alone a cute bikini.
Now, I'm about 150, and I'm confident in my bikini. No, I'm not the skinniest girl wearing one, and I have plenty of imperfections. It took a few times in it to get used to it, just because it's been so long. For me, it isn't about the weight that I am in it, it's how I look and feel in it.

I'm thinking mine is more modest, I'm pretty sure, since I feel great with where I am! HEalth and Fitness wise.

Even in High School I never wore a bikini.

So where do you find the best swimsuit....

I was in my 30th 130lb and size 6. It was awesome, lasted for about 5-6 years and then I turned 40 and the weight just started to go up and up no matter what I did. Going slowly down now, so if I get to 130 - will wear bikini.

misschubbybutterfly

if I didn't have so many strech marks from my old pregnancy I'd wear one now. Sadly My bikini days were over before they began (

I like the Monokini-type bathing suits, covered in the front, low in the back

I feel you can wear a bikini at any size, all that matters is your confidence in yourself. I found that going to a nude beach really helped me find the confidence to wear whatever I like at the regular beach. No where will you find more variety of body types and acceptance of all body types than at the nude beach.

I've always worn one.. whether or not anyone else thought I should! Even at size 14

I've worn a bikini at all sizes (up to a size 8 and 145 lbs) although I'm not sure I was really confident. I'm currently a size 2 and because I'm focusing on muscle-building, I'm finally really comfortable in a bikini.

I wore one all the time and my biggest size was a 14. I feel more comfortable in it now though and I'm a 2.

This summer is the first summer I'm confident enough to wear a bikini. I'm 5'4'' 130lbs. Size 4/6

I'm 5'3.5", 128lbs, UK size 10 (US size 6) and I'll happily wear one now. I wore one last summer when I was bigger (UK 16/US 12) but I was far from actually comfortable with myself.

I never wore bikini's in my teens or early twenty's. When I started approaching 30 I bought a bikini with the boy shorts (to cover some stretch marks) and with a string top. Now that is all I wear and I love it. I guess I weighed around 140 when I started, but even at my heavest which is around 165 I still wore a bikini.

journeyjessi

I wear one now at 140....size 8. But I think I'll feel better in it when I've dropped 10 or 15 more pounds.

hanahlai

I wore two pieces/bikinis even at my heaviest at 165ish. I feel a whole lot more confident now though when I am in the 130's or less though. Looking to be more comfy because I have thickish legs.

i hate wearing bikini's, they make me feel anxious but i just suck it up lol

ZoeMJ

I just bought one yesterday for the first time since I was a teenager! I tried it on and it looks ok on me. I'm 141. I want to be 130 for my cruise in a few weeks. Ha! That's not going to happen. Maybe 135...

I haven't worn a bikini since I was 16, but I was about a size 10/11 then. I thought I was "fat" but when I see photos of me in that bikini now, I think "dayum, I was smokin' hot" LOL. For me the size doesn't matter, it's just the wobble. If I can get unwobbly, so nothing overhangs anything else, I'm getting in a bikini, even if I'm "bigger" than the other girlies.
