So ive been struggling with my weight for my whole life. For the last 2 years ive been on and off diets, and this one i'm really sticking to. At my heaviest I was 158 and 5'3", at my lightest I was 135 and 5'3"...thats when I was running daily and horseback riding. Ive never been stick skinny, but I can look more 'slim'...lol.

So heres the best 'before' picture I have. It was at homecoming a few years ago, and I was sooo self conscious. I had to be a good 160 lbs.



Before Spring break, I went from 158 to 150. then I gained back that 8 lbs about 2 weeks ago, and ever since I've been working out again and I'm back to about 149-150. and I've been running every day this week, anywhere from 2-5 miles, as well as some cardio and weights.

heres what I look like now. and I want honest opinions: do I look ok enough in this bikini to wear it to the beach with my boyfriend? I bought it for motivation, but I thought I had until August to finish losing weight and I really only have until June 29, when I go to VA beach. So I can probably shed off anywhere from 3-9 more lbs before then.. although I will keep losing after that.



Thanks :) I'll update when I'm at a weight I'm really happy with(probably anywhere from 115lbs-130lbs)
 
Hello Englishrider127, welcome to the forum :)

Of course YOU CAN wear it. If you want to. Why not? I can tell by looking at that picture, that you've gained confidence in yourself just by sticking out exercising and working towards a healthier lifestyle for yourself! WOOT! :)

Yes you have a bit of a tummy, and what not, but you are on your way, and you are motivated! You can do it! Take a look at my pic, the one on the left is of me from last summer July, and I STILL WORE a bikini, because I thought I could get away with it, and I did! I don't think it really matters, because when you're at the beach EVERYONE is in a bikini or swim suit, so whatever.

When I was a lot smaller than I am now, I was still very uncomfortable with my body, and I had wanted to wear a bikini for awhile, and than I saw quite a few bigger girls wearing them and not fretting and looking just as confident as ever, and having a BLAST!! So that was my turning point, I thought, Hey! What the Heck! If they can I can!!

And besides you're with your boy!! I bet it will make his day, to have his hottie girl in a bikini with Confidence!!! ;) ***WHISTLE***BOW CHICKA WOW WOW!!!!

Take Care :waving:
 
You look fantastic! I am sure your boyfriend will appreciate it, but the most important thing is how you feel.. if you feel great that will radiate from you - if you feel uncomfortable in the bikini that will also radiate from you.. so it's your mental attitude that matters, not our opinions :D But for the record.. You DO look fantastic, you can wear that with absolute confidence that you look great!
 
you look good! There are going to be people that shouldn't be wearing a swimsuit wearing the.. so why the hell shouldn't you! ide check you out if you walked by me on the beach! *THUMBS UP*
