Water Park? Bikini? Canz? *PICS*

Hey everyone, I don't usually post progress pics (mostly because I don't have any photos of myself when I was 170 lbs besides head shots) but I am REALLY nervous about going to Hurricane Harbor this weekend and I need some brutal MFP input :embarassed:

I actually bought this suit at the end of last year (end of summer sale) when I reached my lowest of 139 but I never got a chance to wear it. I am currently 142 and I realize I need quite a bit more toning but can I get away with this body in public? My boyfriend says I look great but he loves me so ... yeah. :heart:

    You will get tons of head turns. No worries. Looking great!

    The only hingi caution you on is to make sure that the swimsuit is sturdy and doesn't come off easily. I hesitate to type this knowing it will probably get some interesting comments, but those slides can be a bit forceful. Having said that, I do see a lot of people with bikinis at water parks.

    Was just about to say the same.

    You pull off the bikini beautifully but I'd go for a one piece for waterpark action.

    I realize how silly that will sound to some people but a little bit of my back story includes being told I was fat when I only weighed 120 lbs at 5'8" and having to throw up my meals.

    Like in a gym, the majority of people at a water park aren't concerned about how others look...................only how they look. Wear the bikini.

    You look amazing! Get going!

    I know how you feel though. Went to a water park for the first time in 15 years or so just a few weeks ago! And I don't look anywhere near as good in my suit as you do in yours! lol

    You look great as far as your body, but the top looks a little small. It would be fine laying out at a pool, but I'd be nervous busting out that much at a waterpark! So...my advice would be maybe buy a more sturdy, better fitting top.

    Bikini - Definitely

    But, I would probably opt for a halter style top, or an athletic bathing suit for a water park. You don't want to show the goods to all the little kids.

    I did think of this problem but I haven't had any luck finding a cheap one piece that didn't look like my grandma would wear it LOL Figure I can always hold the top on the way down?

    LOL it's supposed to be busty, it's a VS suit, but i agree it's bit snug, I've had a hard time losing that loose fat around my chest area. If I buy a looser strap it's not tight enough.

    I was talking about the cup size. It just seems like a recipe for a nip slip being at a water park. lol

    DO IT!

    Story for you-

    First time I went to White Water here in GA I had on over my suit a wrap, a dress on top of that, and was huddling in covered in towels and my bag infront on my stomach.

    When I got there- I stripped all that crap off like I was getting 5 dollar bills thrown at me.

    Most of the women there are moms with kids and families- they're not looking at you as everyone will be focused on waiting in line, their kids, or the park itself- so wear that bikini with pride!

    Yeah I really should get fitted again because with all the weight gain/loss I really have no clue what size I am anymore.

    Does anyone have any good suggestions for where to buy a cute one piece at the last minute that won't break the bank?
