When did feel ready to wear a bikini?

Options
Ugh...I know things take time, but will I ever be able to wear a bikini and look decent? I have never worn it and I wonder about at what weight I might see decent changes? I am 5'7'' my highest was 198lbs and I'm at 171lbs. I am hoping to be 145lbs. I started lifting weights recently.Summer is here and it is soo frustrating!
thanks for the advice!

    A. of course, wear whatever the **** you want, when you want.

    B. I thought I'd want to wear a bikini and short shorts and stuff at 155 lbs, bc that was my weight in high school and my body was bangin'. However, when I got down to 155 a few months ago, I realized that- being almost 20 yrs out of HS- my body composition is different now. Same weight, but more fat and less muscle. Such is aging and yo-yo-ing. Had to readjust my goal weight and start weigh training. Will still rock bikini- albeit a butt-padded one :)

    I finally got to where I feel comfortable in a bikini and I am 130. 5'9.

    But I also carry most of my weight on my stomach, so that's always stopped me. Hopefully I will feel better and look better by the time summer comes around.
