Right seriously, see to the girls who are saying "your overweight" or "No stay away from two pieces" I do commend your honesty, but I also have to say you are bitches. EMBRACE your curves! So what if you don't have the perfect flat stomach! Wear what you want whenever you want! Sweetie you are beautiful in your own skin so show everyone how beautiful you are! Get that tan that you desire, two pieces make that possible! Britney was a BABE at the VMA performance, she embraced her curves and she look fabulous! Beyonce is curvy and beautiful! She is sexy and fabulous and so are you! Everyone has roles when they sit down, heck so do I and I'm verging on size 0 (not by choice I have a condition) I swear that you will see worse looking people on the beach, not by any means you would look bad, just incase you are insecure there will be people who are 200 pounds in a bikini! If you feel weird walking about in a bikini wear a fabulous kaftan or put on a pair of high wedges to add length to your legs and to your whole body in general. I know I've gone on about how curvy is great, but look at tyra banks, beyonce, britney at the vmas...You will fit in. Remember
-You are beautiful
-Embrace your curves
-Love yourself, people will love you back.
-Do not listen to the people on this site saying over weight, 140 pounds is 10 stone, which is a size 10 in the UK, and the sizes here go 6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20,22 + So you are perfect.

Best answer!
140 isn't fat its normal but also its no way is it a uk 10! my sis is 5ft2 and a uk10 and she is under 9st! I'm 5ft4 and 7st so if 10st at 5ft1 is size ten I must be size 0000 then!
I live in a Florida "beach town." I see it all! Guys in bikinis, guys in thongs with beer belly's. You see women of all ages wearing bikinis. Personally, the people that look the worst in bikinis in my opinion are the stick thin women. I think the women that have bigger boobs and butt look better! Their stomach may not be a 6 pack and that's ok. I have a few stretch marks from my 3 babies but that is common for women and something we have no control of. I have boobs, butt, and thighs and semi flat stomach, if you don't like it, dont look at me! When you live by the beach, you have 5,000 swimsuits so women wear your cute bikinis and get those sexy tan lines going! Women come in all shapes and sizes and love yourself. Don't let society make you feel bad about yourself. Don't look at sports illustrated and think you can only look like that to wear the swimsuit you want besides, who wants a one piece swimsuit funky tan line?
Find your confidence and don't compare yourself to others. You are you and the most attractive thing about a women or man is confidence. One last thing if you are ever coming to Florida for a vacation, we are not so judgmental like you think! We have seen it all!
5'1" and 140 pounds is overweight. Not trying to be mean but it seems like so many girls underestimate the fact that they are actually overweight. They call themselves curvy when they are more than just curvy.
Saying that, you can make an important decision to actually improve your health. In your age range there is no excuse for being overweight. Decrease your portion sizes slightly, stop eating whatever the worst of the worst is that you eat (fried foods, desserts) and you could easily have a more bikini ready body by summer. If you do not resolve this now, trust me, as a woman it will only get worse, much worse. Wait till you hit your late 20's. Everyone gains weight then. Then have even 1 child, and you will be obese.
Other than that, it is really up to you and how you feel about yourself. I am just guessing since you posted this question, that are not super comfortable with wearing a bikini. Personally, I wouldn't, but I have definitely seen women and girls who would.
She may be "more than just curvy" by your standards, but by bmi standards, she is just 8 pounds "too curvy" for her height, making her just -barely- overweight. I'm sure she looks vastly different than someone at the actual high end of overweight, which she'd have to gain over 15 pounds to achieve. since she's so much closer to the lower end, I'd venture to call her weight "woes" (used very loosely) not simply a matter of "bad" diet/habit choices, but likely merely genetic. ease up on the lady!
I am 5'4" and 112 lbs. I can assure you if I weighed 140 lbs I would be overweight and noticeably so. I also know what I would have to do to get to 140 lbs. I would have to eat more food than I need and unhealthy, high fat and sugar food to boot. Now, she may be very athletic and have a lot of muscle and that would make the 140 lbs better, but she is not saying she is muscular. I am muscular and still, I am 3 inches taller than her and 28 lbs lighter.
The easiest way to know if you are just genetically disposed to your weight or perfectly fine is....ditch the junk food, don't eat high fat foods, make sure you are eating plenty of vegetables and fruits each day and you eat normal portions. If you are like many who eat out at least once if not twice a day instead of preparing your own food, you are definitely eating a high fat diet and should change your eating habits for your health.
virtually every woman has a belly that pokes out somewhat.
it's hard to say yes or no to a question like this, because I don't know what you look like. I tend to be _very_ attracted to shorter, curvier girls, so Ii can imagine that you'd look great in some types of bikinis, but so not so good in others. you might have to hunt around to find a style that's most flattering on you.
Just go with whatever you feel comfortable in, if you're constantly going to be worrying about who's looking at you then don't do it, but if you're happy then go for it, so what if someone else thinks you shouldn't be!
That's stated perfectly. Listen to this guy!!!

And just to point out the obvious: Britney Spears wore a bikini looking thing for the 2007 VMAs. If you're certain you want someone to give you a hard line answer, the evidence is pointing to "yes, wear the bikini".
Well, 140 pounds really isn't that bad, I say you might as well go for it. If you still feel self-conscious about it, just find a bikini that complements your body in things like shape and colour.
I was really annoyed when people hated on Britneys shape at the VMAs, I was like, that's literally exactly what I look like when I hven't worked our for a while and there snothing wrong with how she looked- but as long as you feel comfortable, that's the most important thing, if you don't you might want to diet/tone up a little before you hit the beach, I always crash diet before its bikini time X-D. xxxxxxxxxxx
I think it’s about how you feel in it. I get major bikini/body image anxiety & it would ruin my day. So if you’re feeling this way, skip the bikini. Otherwise, wear one every body is a bikini body. To give you the more “honest” answer you asked for, I’d say you look pretty average to skinny in a bikini & it looks like it fits well.
Wear whatever you feel comfortable in. People can't tell you what you can or can't wear.
140 lbs. isn't even a lot so you should be fine.
i feel that if I'm not comfortable with something I'm wearing, I try to hide. but if I'm comfortable, then I'll be ok with it. so it's rather a subjective question, go with how you feel like doing.
I wouldn't wear a bikini if I were you. Your 5'1 and 140, most girls I've dated were like 5'1-5'4 so pretty short girls and they all weighed like 109-112 lbs probably, and they all complained they were to fat but they were't fat at all. The shorter you are the more it will show that your over weight. I have a friend who's like 5'9 or something and she weighs like 135 maybe 140 but doesn't look fat at all because she's tall.
She probably also doesn't look fat because she -isn't-. based on the stats you listed for her, her bmi is ~19-20, which is on the LOW side of "healthy". the girls which were 5'1"-5'4" and 109-112 have a bmi range of 18-21, which is on average the same bmi range for the 5'9" girl, yet you say the taller girl only "doesn't look fat" because of her height, while saying the shorter girls "weren't fat at all". something isn't consistent here, and I suspect the higher # on the scale throws you off.
Whoa there don't hurt yourself now, I am only going by what the chicks told me, the ones who were 5'1-5'4 said they were over weight because they weighed 109-112 lbs. The chick who was 5'9 told me she was about 135 maybe 140, but she didn't look fat because she was taller.
I'm 5'1 and 112 pounds and I'm fat! My stomach and back is chubby.. I go to florida in 8 days and don't know if I can wear a bikini or not. I have a giant fat roll when I lay down and my stomach looks huge
Do your BMI. If it says your healthy, then sure, why not wear the bikini? If it says anything else, then its your call.
I think almost every girl think she overweight I'm 5'3 and I weigh about 120 think if you should be at 110 pounds so you can loose a little bit
You are never too fat. Wear what you want as long as you feel comfortable. Who cares what anyone else says or thinks. I will tell you this much. I have a friend who refuses to wear shorts because she has fat legs. I weigh about 40 pounds more than she does and I say if I am hot, I am wearing shorts. If you don't like it, don't look! I have just as much a right to wear whatever the h*ell I want as anyone else.
I agree, people are so judgmental now days. Wear what you wanna wear no matter what you weigh its your body!
don't wear one,
put it this way if you see someone skinnier than you and you think that she should not be wearing a bikini then you shouldnt either.
depending on how you fill out you should wear what you want, I personally can't wear one pieces since I have a long torso but I'm relatively thin so I wear bikinis just fine. you can wear a tankini to cover yourself more if you're a little insecure about it. if I were you I'd avoid the string bikini, go for maybe boyshort bottoms and a good sturdy halter to hold you up (if your bustier).
If you really wanna wear it,then just be like Nike and JUST DO IT!
That's all I gotta say.
Peace!
I reckon you're too fat for a bikini if you can't see the bottoms when you're standing up.
Make sense?
Wear what ever you are comfortable in! I see some over weight, average weight and under weight people wearing bikinis and they look great but that's all because they are comfortable wearing it. Plus, most people won't even care they are too busy having fun. Wish you luck!
i'm sure some people will say "unless you're stick thin..dont!" but if you feel GREAT wearing it, go for it! your personality will shine through and make you look more attractive. good luck! :)
u should wear what ever you feel more confident in
cause confident is sexy
trust me there are a lot worse looking people in a bikini's
u will look awesome in a bikini
good luck =)
My friend is 5 foot and weighs 105 lbs and rocks a bikini, so you probably shouldn't wear one if your 35 lbs more
I wouldn't wear one there is nothing worse than seeing a fat girl in a bikini you might not be fat but if you have to question it don't do it
Okay do you understand how incredibly rude that is? If you feel comfortable wearing a bikini, DO IT! I know that's like the worst advice ever, and that's all everyone is saying, but really, that's what it comes down to. If your not comfortable in your own skin, life is gonna be hard man. I am 5'5 and 135 pounds maybe 140 and while I am not completely comfortable in a bikini, I have worn it and it was a fun day, because I realized people didn't really care what I was wearing, so it was really just me beating myself up about it. If you feel good about it, go for it. :)
Actually honey I weighed more than the girl who asked the question.. And I tried on a bikini and gotten a lot compliments from both girls and boys... Hell most guys stated that they would definitely fuck me... or want me to be their girlfriend cause they found me to be hot.. This is from a chubby girl with a flat tummy, a so called oddly small waist, thick thighs that are a little toned and big breast. not only that but wide hips... Guy usually stare at me lustfully, girls envy me.. And I actually like it... Most girls envy the way I dance and still their boyfriends without trying... So yeah I may be"fat" to you but I'm"sexy, sweet, sassy, confident and silly" to others... -Sweet and Sassy 14
