Bikinis Place - Is it ok that I wear bikinis to the pool when I'm in the overwieht category, 185 lbs., 5'9 and 17yrs old?

Is it ok that I wear bikinis to the pool when I'm in the overwieht category, 185 lbs., 5'9 and 17yrs old?

I don't want to be grossing everyone out but I think I look fine and I feel comfortable and I see other people who look way worse than I do. Should I keep wearing these bikinis?

if you are comfortable with them on then that is fine & all that really matters =] noone is going to be grossed out.. trust me. hope you have fun at the pool!
if you feel comfortable with your body you go girl and do your thing
As long as you don't have a lot of cellulite, it's alright.
I think it is ok, but there are other swim suits that could be much more flattering on your body and get you more attention. Just because you are not wearing a bikini doesn't mean that you are not sexy. Try out some cute halter one pieces or some other kinds, they can be really cute! Skinny girls buy 1 pieces all the time!
if you feel comfortable and you feel you look good, then you probably do. i dont think 185 is that overweight if your 5'9, also if you want to feel better about wearing a bikini in front of people maybe do some exercises or something. dont worry you probably look fine, and your definitely not grossing anyone out answer mine please http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AqMEtZ6zpNnXJHIrP2WqrALsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20080608160959AAL95m5
Go ahead. Who cares what other people think? If you think you look fine, then I bet you do. Remember, You're your worst critic!
Ew. No way. People definitely hate you for doing that. Just wear a one piece or don't go at all.
u should pu t a pick or somethin cuz u say ur 185 but u could be muscular idk.. get a pic gf
yes, if u r comfortable go for it
It's ok i you are overweight and don't look overweight, because I'm 5' 7, 186lbs 20 years old and I'm sexy as ever, so wear your bikini some people may be wishing they looked like you>
I agree with most people here, who cares about what others think!... BUT, heres the catch... if that would be your attitude, then you should be ready to accept critics, backbites, taunts.. all the negative comments that will be thrown at you. I assure you, if you are in the overweight category as you describe yourself, there would be people watching and making fun of you... its the reality. So if you cant take that scenario, then i guess you should wear something conservative and save yourself from being embarrased.... but if you really dont mind people commenting on you, then go for it!
Please do...that way I'll look better in mine...
