    I had a peek at your profile and your photos, and I think you should definitely wear a bikini!! :) You look great, you've come a long way!! You are definitely there in my opinion!! :)

    Thanks I'm just concerned about my back, it's no where near where I want it haha.

    I'm sure your back looks great too :) You are at a good weight!! But you should wear whatever you are most comfortable in :) Some women love one pieces, has nothing to do with their weight, just their preference. I don't think I'll ever wear a bikini, no matter how small I get, I'm just shy person I guess.

    I've always worn a bikini, even at my highest weight (156ish). I was just really insecure about my bottom half.

    Funnily enough, I wore a bikini (a tiny one!) this past week and wasn't insecure at all. It felt awesome!

    I wore then when I was younger (25 and under?) and about a size 2-4, but I had completely flat abs then. :o

    I am now a size 2-4 again (possibly a 6 in some clothing), but I wouldn't even begin to consider a bikini. I think I am WAY too fat/flabby to wear one. I also think I'm too old. :o I know people older than me totally rock them, but I think *I* am too old. And fat/flabby.

    I consider them very often, but I don't think I'll be wearing one.

    I wore one at 150 size 9/11.
    I felt fatter in a once piece, and silly in a tank top and shorts! lol

    It's all about confidence! Or at least no shame. :P

    Even at my heaviest, I looked worse in a one piece than in a bikini. Most one piece suits just make me one lumpy blob, no matter what I weigh.

    I've worn a tankini ever since I started picking out my swimsuits. I bought my first bikini top 2 days ago; I bought one that I should be able to wear by the end of summer (fingers crossed) and one that is teensy tiny that I hope to wear by next summer.

    I've always been too big for one, now, I kind of don't really care. When I feel confident enough, I will sport it!

    I am shocked, shocked I say! I can't believe you hussies would consent to bearing your ankles in front of god and everybody! This is what I wear to the beach:

    I wish we could bring this style back.
    Than maybe I wouldn't avoid the pool.

    I've got a friend that's probably about 250 and she wears a bikini likes it's no one's business.

    this!!! And I def think you can pull off a bikini just get one that is flattering to your body type :-)

    One or two piece makes no difference. The only thing that matters is if YOU like the way you look in it.

    I've always worn a bikini, chubby or skinny. This summer though I'm going to finally be comfortable in a bikini.

    Lol I understand finding a color that would look good on me, but I guess I'm not sure how a bikini can have different styles to be flattering or not flattering haha. I don't know if that even made sense, all the one's I have found have 2 ties, one for around the back and the other around the neck. A tear drop look, or a triangle look. I found 1 square shapped which was cute. And I found a green one I liked, and actually didn't mind it so much on me. I'm not uncomfortable with my body I just am not sure I'd be comfortable in public what would feel like wearing nothing more then a bra haha. Never wore one before so I'm not really sure how I'd feel...

    We have a pool where I live, in the apartment complex. I can fit in one now, but I've never had one. I've never been thin enough for one. I have a photo I took this morning on my profile page of my belly, it's next to one that says 180 back in Novemeber and then today at 137. I have a hard time determine if I'm being to hard on myself or if its truth and I shouldn't. I have a hard time with "Who care's what everyone else thinks." Because honestly I care what people think haha.

    at 137, I'd be rocking a bikini all day long!!!!

    I'm almost at my goal weight and there are certain bikini styles that look AWFUL on me, particularly side-tie bottoms and triangle string tops. The bikini I'm buying this year is a push-up halter with non-tie bottoms and looks muuuuch better on me. Just little things make a huge difference!

    I just googled for my body shape, I'm a rectangular shape so I would look probably best in something that is ruffly or has ties on the side. Great, I'm not a fan of ruffles haha!
