    I am 5' 6" and am now just two pounds from goal weight at 140. It took me a long time to lose 25 pounds, but I am finally close. Anyway I hope there is a lot more in your motivation to lose weight other than a bikini, because you're going to need it.

    It's not easy. You have to be faithful about logging in each day, and you have to stick with it.

    Good luck to you.

    Absolutely not! It's about confidence. You work it, you rock it, you own it! :) Screw what anyone else may think, because they don't matter. You do. :)

    I definitely am committed I actually was bigger than this but recently I decided maybe counting my calories and working out would be a lot more efficient than just working out

    I'm 5'4" and weigh 185lb and look good in a bikini (apparently, though if I was that uncomfortable with it then I wouldn't wear it).

    As mentioned before - ROCK THAT THANG! :drinker:

    I was wearing a bikini at 160 lbs and I'm 5'4", and I looked fine. If you're confident enough to rock it, go ahead! There's no "too big" for a bikini, honestly. It's all about what you're comfortable with, since it's your body. If you wanna wear it, wear it! I'm sure you'll look great :D

    You look great.

    If you feel comfortable wear it. If you don't feel comfortable, don't.

    You and I are about the same height/weight/size right now and if bikinis were my jam I'd wear one comfortably at this size. Sadly, I have 2 small children so I stick with one pieces that stay in place. The kiddie pool doesn't need to see my business.

    If you have to ask a bunch of internet people, you are probably not confident enough to wear it. Wear something that you are confident wearing otherwise you won't have a good time because of perceived looks and comments.

    If you feel comfortable wear it. If you don't feel comfortable, don't.

    This!!

    It;s so up to u, take all I say with a grain of salt. I am 5ft6 as well and 134 lbs. I personally won't wear a bikini until I lose weight. I wear a nice one piece.
    Is your goal weight actually 100 lbs at 5'6"?? That would be severely underweight and unhealthy! In fact, you're already at an excellent weight at 134 lbs. If you would like to look more 'toned', eat at maintenance and lift heavy; that will lower your bodyfat percentage while building muscle and make you look great. If you actually think you're 'fat', you might steer into an eating disorder and might consider getting help. :flowerforyou:

    I live across from the ocean and I see a lot of bikini wearing people, you look fabulous and should wear it with confidence.
