Hi everyone, so i've posted on here before with my progress pictures but now I need some advice. I've never worn a bikini before as I haven't felt confident enough. I'm going on holiday in a few weeks and am trying to decide whether I should just go for it, or stick with a one piece.

I've lost around 70lbs but my belly is still flabby/loose, it's not attractive at all. Should I just face the facts that I probably just look better with it covered?

    There is a bikini on your body. You have a bikini body. Yes, you are indeed bikini ready.

    You are doing a great job, but I if you are already unsure about wearing the bikini then pick something you feel great in. Your confidence will be more attractive than a bikini.

    ^ this.

    I wore a bikini when I was obese. Unashamedly so (I have pics to prove it!). And guess what? I got hit on at the beach wearing my bikini with my obese belly hanging out.

    We women judge ourselves too harshly. You look wonderful. Enjoy the sun on your belly!

    ETA: To be clear, I'm not saying you are obese now. I'm just saying even at my worst, I still went out in a bikini. You look wonderful and you really should accept that you are ready!

    Honestly, if I saw you walk by I probably wouldn't think anything of it -good or bad. Do a lot of abdominal workouts each day and some cardio while maintaining a healthy diet and that last flab will disappear in no time. Congratulations on all the success you've had thus far!

    I'd do it if I were you! As long as YOU feel comfortable, there's no reason not to. You look great!

    i suggest bring both bikinis and one pieces because although you are bikini ready, its better to feel comfortable if you change ur mind :)

    Wow your progress is amazing. I really think you're the only one who can really answer that question. It all comes down to your comfort/confidence level.

    If you're gonna wear it and spend the whole time hiding under a cover up then just wear the one piece. On the other hand if you're gonna wear it and STRUT...then go for it. Whatever you do, just enjoy your vacation

    I mean it's really up to you, I've seen people with way WAY worse bodies in a bikini, and of course they get some looks but they don't seem to care.
    You clearly don't have a terrible body, just a little lose skin, I would say if you can wear it confidently, not act all awkward and like you're trying to hide yourself. If you don't act confident then people will notice and probably stare more like noticing that you have something to be embarassed about and will notice more.
    If you can act confident (even if you don't feel it) then go for it

    Steps to a bikini body :
    1. Get a body. (everyone has one)
    2. Put a bikini on.
    3. Go to the beach.

    I think you look great! But wear whatever makes you most comfortable. You wont have as much fun if your feeling self conscience. Maybe try a monokini as an inbetween until you feel more confident? I think you look great though and I would totally wear that bikini if I had your body!

    This. You don't need our approval to wear anything! Wear what you will feel most comfortable in. If you are going to be tugging at a bikini self-consciously, and reflexively slouching to "cover up" it can detract a lot from your hard work. So wear whatever you want, but make sure you wear it with confidence!

    Good work on the progress, btw, I can see such a difference. Keep it up!

    a lot of abdominal workouts each day is not actually helpful, as one cannot spot reduce. However, some cardio, lifting weights and doing what she's been doing to lose the original 70 pounds will work.

    MAN you look different . I creeped ur profile. That is a super cute bikini. I think you look ready. I like how you're posing like superman too. Go superwoman!

    The bikini fits, wear it. If you do not shy away from your reflection in the mirror - and you have no cause to shy away - wear it in public.

    Rock on.

    bikini ready is 95% about confidence. Are you happy in it? Then wear it. If it makes you self-conscience and unhappy, don't wear it.

    If you feel good and comfortable in a bikini then wear it!

    If you're nervous maybe hold off for a bit.

    I think you great.
