Weight loss excitment/goal- have you ever worn a bikini?

I am starting to get close to my goal now still another 10 pounds! I have never in my whole lif worn a bikini. (I wouldnt right now either its too cold and my belly is still a little pudgy) I wanted to know how many other people have never worn a bikini before and plan to? I am so excited that i want to buy one now lol silly i know :)

I just got back from Florida this weekend and for the first time in 15 years wore a bikini. Yes, I am still a little pudgy in it but it felt great. I have lost 34 pounds, 15 more to go. Have fun and enjoy it, it feels great!

I have NEVER worn one but it it also one of my goals.  I'd feel so fat in one now but hopefully in Spring!

mrdudek you look great in a bikini well done on your weight loss you look amazing! I can't wait until spring by then i hope my mind catches up with my body and i get the confidence to wear one.

i've never in my whole entire life worn a bikini, and i want to so bad!!!!!!!!!

i HOPE i'll be able to look killer in 'em once i get to goal. what i really wanna do is take a goal trip where i'll be on some beach for a week, with a wardrobe consisting of nothing but bikinis.

i also wanna be able to rock one in brazil, the kind the brazillians wear, and give the local chicks a run for their money. but who knows if i'll ever get to that point!

I think we are all going to get there girls best go shopping for a cute brazillian bikini then haha

I haven't worn anything but tankini's since my kids due to some horrific stretch marks and loose skin.   But this time weight loss has been different for me.. I mean I have a set of 6 pack abs(Yeah) And I have decided next year I will wear a bikini despite the stretch marks... I am thin hear me roar.. lol ( sorry just really feeling good about my body right now)

Never have never gonna... lol I've always been too fat, and even when I lose weight I'll have stretch marks and general nastiness that will keep me from ever wearing a bikini.

I never have and it's my secret goal. :)

I have, but I've never felt good about how I look in a bikini. That is really motivating me to keep weight training and eating at maintenance.

I was the fat girl who wears a bikini! Haha.

I honestly felt just as good about myself when I was 200 lbs wearing a bikini as when I was 150 wearing a bikini!!

I'm a freak like that!

That is the biggest motivator for me to lose the lbs--so I can wear a bikini and feel sort of comfortable in it. I am so envious of the girls who rock their bikinis and act like they are in any thing. There is something about a bikini that makes me nervous--it is just like wearing your underwear in public, so I feel like I gotta be looking awesome before I can wear one--but that's just me.

I do wear a bikini, I swim several times a week and I wore one for my last hols in July but I feel rubbish in it. My main motivation is I have a holiday booked for July next year and I want to actually look good in my bikini and not scare the locals. I have taken pics of my current bikini bod (and my god its not pretty) and put it on my profile and hopefully will be able to see a massive improvement next year!

No, I completely agree.  When I do get one, I'll have to figure out how to get one that doesn't make me look like a complete skank.  That's easy to do on me.  I have small hips and BIG boobs.  So wearing a bikini in GENERAL is a risk that I won't look good, wearing a bikini while overweight is terrifying.  I just... I go to the beach and I do see all these people wearing bikinis who are WAY bigger than I am, but I wouldn't wear one myself looking like I do, I can't imagine how anyone even bigger than me does.  I mean good for them if they're confident, but I'd feel awful like I am, I can't imagine if I was heavier.

Well, I have definitely worn many bikinis in my day -- just not this past year!

I used to wear them all the time, but it's been a few years now since I've been able to wear one and not look horrifying.

By next summer I'm running around naked I'll be looking so dang hot, even if it kills me

Don't die, spiro!!!

I have never worn a bikini, I have always been (or felt) too fat. When I was a teenager, I had a dream. It was so powerful, I remembered it always. I called it the Dream of the Blue Bikini. I dreamt that I was walking on a beach, my long long hair ruffling in the breeze, and I was wearing a blue bikini. I felt free and beautiful and happy.

Well that dream helped fuel many weight loss attempts....never made it there though. This time, I know I will....but I doubt that even at a "normal" bmi, I will ever have a bikini body. I have been too fat for too long, and I have reconciled myself to the fact that I will end up with a lot of saggy skin on my belly, as I have no intention of surgery. It's too bad because I will never get to make the Dream of the Blue Bikini a reality...thought the magic of the dream was more about how I felt than how I looked, and that part can still happen!

I wore a bikini about 4 1/2 years ago, I guess. Wow, I didn't realize it'd been that long! I was really taking care of myself, like I am now.   I don't remember my weight, but I felt comfortable in a bikini! It was cute too, white with multi-colored polka dots and  triangle top that tied around my neck.  I think I still have it. I'm more interested in wearing a hot mini skirt or a nice fitted dress! Saucy!

This is an oldish post, but...the only time I've ever worn a bikini was in 8th grade.  That's about 8 years ago.  I am more than determined to wear one proudly and hot-ly (not a word, just work with me people) this summer when i go to Mexico with my boyfriend and his family.  Hell yes.

I've never worn a bikini, but I probably could have when I was 5'7 138 in junior high. Unfortunately I was super conservative because of my 34B bra size and wore mostly oversized clothing. But, I would love to be small enough to wear a bikini now. I still wouldn't because my husband woud definitely not approve. But it would still be nice to be able to.
