OK so here's where I started (well, one month in) with apologies to anyone eating while looking at this

I'm going on vacation in little over a week, and I have a choice of bikini or 2-piece that fit (NB I don't swim, just go for the "beached whale round the edge" look)

What is going to scare small children the least? We're going to the Netherlands, if that helps at all.

Hopefully the pics will come out OK!

    Wear the one in which you feel most fabulous. You are Venus in both with well defined chest and waist, especially from the front.

    You have a terrific tractory for your weightloss and have been just as consistent with an exercise program-have fun at the beach.

    Here is another suit that ould highlight your assets.

    You would be stunning in the color "geranium".

    You only need the (img) tags, done in lower case :flowerforyou:

    I like the 2-piece, but pick the one you feel most comfortable with!
    Here in the Netherlands we currently have a heat wave, don't know if it will still be this hot next week though.

    I think the one piece is more flattering than the bikini...Not because you look bad in a bikini (You don't!), but because I don't think thats the right bikini for you. :flowerforyou:

    Awesome progress!

    Congrats! I like the full bathing suit, not that your body doesnt look good in a bikini (jealous btw) but the cut and color of the bathing suit is great :)

    I like the two piece on you better. Take both and wear both: they don't take up much suitcase space (unlike my maternity tankini :laugh:).

    You look incredible in a bikini! I wish I could wear that like you! You look great in the swim suit too but I think confidence wise - rock the bikini!

    Guess I'm on same pathway as you, currently 3 lbs from goal ( though would like to be a little less than this), solved this by taking both and wearing what I felt most comfortable in at the time - this hot weather made the choice a little easier, so the bicini won close to base and the cossie when I was further away. Have a lovely time in the Netherlands x

    I like the one piece better, but mainly because of the color and design. It really flatters you.

    You look AT LEAST 30 pounds slimmer in the one piece. It accentuates the positives! It's beautiful and you're gorgeous in it!

    I like the one piece better just because I think the pattern is cuter but I also like the bikini because it boosts my confidence to do things out of my comfort zone. You could always bring both, too!

    They both look great, so whichever you feel better in. Actually, forget that. Just take them both, and switch off. :)

    You look great in both, but that one piece is adorable!

    Edited to add: I wanna change my answer to this:

    Body-wise, they both look fine. You don 't seem to have anything that I would consider frightening.

    Style-wise, I like the 1-piece! But the bikini does look a bit more youthful.

    I'd say bring both bathing suits :)

    The one piece really flatters your curves! I like it a lot.

    They all look fine so bring them all, though I prefer the one piece. I would suggest that the most flattering bikini bottom would have a higher waist and high cut legs.

    In the Netherlands you can definitely take your top off without stigma if you want an even tan. For the most flattering bottoms, I would look for a pair where the waistline hits the top of the hipbone, but has a high cut leg. Of the bikinis you have, I prefer the bottoms of the turquoise suit.

    I find that the one piece flatters your figure more.

    Wear both. Alternate days! They both look good. I am more comfy in two pieces cuz my long torso pulls a one piece at the shoulders or at the crotch or both!

    I like the one piece better. But I think you can look great in a slightly different style bikini, too. I think you *can* use this bikini, but you could look even better in a different one. I have the same issue with front/side overhang that you do, and would look *just* like that in a string bikini, so I personally wouldn't feel comfortable in it. I just posted a pic of me wearing a string side, but not TIE-string sides. It hides that abdominal line, and I'm very comfortable in them. I will be taking my pic down soon as I just posted it for my friends to see progress today - so it might be gone if you take a while to come back to this.

    I vote for the one-piece. Cut and color are flattering.
