I am curious about other moms opinions. I am a 37 year old (almost 38) mom of two (ages 7 and 10). I am finally at my goal weight (120lbs, 5'3.5") and now working on toning up.

I would love to wear a bikini this year but not sure if I am too old...thoughts? I have always worn a tankini with a skirt so at the least this year I would love to wear my tankini top with a regular bathing suit bottom (no skirts this year!)

Is their an age where you are just too old to wear a bikini?

    Where a bikini you worked hard for the body you have show it off. I am sure there is an age where you should not wear a bikini anymore but I do not think that age is 37. So have fun.

    I am 39, mom of two and I wear one, have always worn one and will continue to wear one ...or at least until it doesn't look good anymore. Now with that said I wear a modest cut one...but it's still a bikini!

    Wear the bikini! If you look good and feel good, wear it! And congratulations on reaching your goal weight! :bigsmile:

    Go for it! You've worked hard to reach your goal. I do agree with the other moms...just make sure its a modest one! :)

    Go girl -- I think it's even more impressive when I see someone my age able to wear a bikini (and look good in it).

    You worked hard for it - show it off!!

    I guess I am old fashioned plus trying to teach my children modesty. Yes, it is wonderful that you have a great body and yes you should show it off- but this is my view only so don't get offended, but I think your husband should be the only guy seeing you like that. As I tell my children "remember the "other" guys are looking too". I believe we as women are more beautiful with clothes on and a nice tankini or a one piece would really show off your beauty and the shape of your body and your strength. That is my two cents worth,.

    I don't think there is an age limit for bikini's. I prefer one-pieces or tankinis myself, but if you've got it flaunt it. Helen Miren looked pretty amazing in a bikini, and she's in her 60's.

    If your comfortabel in it--wear it. You earned that body no matter what age you are. Wear it like it a badge of honor--because it is!!

    If you are comfortable with a bikini, honey wear it! As for your kids I believe its all about what you teach them show them that a woman can wear a bikini and still deserves respect. I have two teens and am not at my goal weight yet but cant wait!!!

    Wear it!

    I don't think there's necessarily an AGE when you're too old. And if there is, you'll know when you get there.

    Age doesn't have anything to do with wearing a bikini. If you have put in the work to have a good body you deserve to show it off.

    I am almost 42 & this past summer, after losing over 50 lbs, I wore a bikini. I don't think I have ever worn a bikini in my life. :noway: :noway: :noway: I was so self-conscious, but I think it was because of my "Farmers Tan" from biking & running clothes & how stupid it looked. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: This white belly hadn't seen sunlight in a looooong time. :tongue: :tongue: :tongue:

    My 12 year old daughter thought it was awesome that I wore it on the beach...my hubby thought it was awesome when the college boys were honking & whistling. :wink: :wink: :wink:

    I am working my butt off so that I can really ROCK a bikini this year. :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

    Have you seen the pics of Helen Miran rocking her bikini? I say if you are comfortable and worked hard for your figure, then you can wear what you want.

    I wear a bikini, I'm 45 and I have two teenage sons. I love showing off all of my hard work. Hold your head high and own it!

    You worked for it honey, flaunt it!! Some one mentioned above that your husband should be the only one to see you like that and I somewhat agree, so my advice would be make sure your husband is ok with other guys seeing so much skin.

    I got to my goal weight before I had my last baby and bought my first bikini. I'm going to wear a bikini until I can't walk anymore.

    I hope I can speak for most men when I say there is nothing sexier than a woman that has worked hard to achieve the body she wants and is not afraid to show it off.
    So for the sake of all man-kind and all things sacred......, please wear that bikini!!!!! :drinker:
