Anyone with similar stats, would you wear a bikini in public?

    I am 5'5", but even at 155, I wasn't comfortable in a bikini. But we are all built differently and I have seen some women who weigh more than me that are knock outs in bikinis!

    Depends on bf%, not weight, whether or not I would do it.

    Confidence pulls off a bikini, not a scale.

    What about 6'4 - 225lbs....could I pull it off? I hear black is slimming, but I don't want my package to look smaller.

    or you can use teeth to pull them off.

    I prefer using a switchblade.

    I'm 5'10", weight 149 and I'm still uncomfortable in a bikini. To each their own.

    It would really depend on your body type and how you carry your weight... But I would do it!

    wear a bikini if you want to who cares

    I think any body is a bikini body no matter how fat or fit

    anyone who disagrees is a rude *kitten* who thinks everyone needs to be pleasing to their eyes (NOT TRUE)

    A tankini is a great option! I am the same height as you and when I was that weight, I would not wear a bikini. Mind you, I am probably a lot older but it would still be a no at that weight even when I was younger.

    Got a bikini? Then YES!

    Do not own a bikini? Then...no.

    If you will feel self-conscious in it and that will ruin your fun, then no. If you are feeling confident and enjoy wearing it, then yes! It's all about how you feel, not how you look. Don't worry about what strangers think of you - they don't know you or the journey you are on.

    She said it well.

    To answer your question though, at my heaviest (168 pounds at just under 5'5") I refused to put on any swimming suit because I was too embarrassed. I regret that I let my feelings about my body ruin a summer of fun for me. Put on your swimming suit, whichever one makes you feel good/sexy, and live it up!!
