Hey Girl! When I put on bakinis my stomach sticks out. When you go shopping try on tankinis, there like bikinis but they go lower. I just bought a tankini yesterday and I look skinny in it! Hope this helps!

well it depends if your ok with your body, but if your not, then a bikini isnt the thing for you, do crunches, cardio, drink water, and eat right, and u'll ne on ur way

I am overweight just like you. I am 5'7'' and I weigh 200 pounds. I have found that gap.com has more sizes online for their jeans. Old Navy also has bigger sizes in their stores and online for jeans and shirts.(Almost all of my shirts are from Old Navy!)

I am about 200 pounds. I hate it when I can't find clothes that "regular" girls wear. Especially jeans! I have recently found that Gap.com has womens' sizes 0-20 exclusively online. They have boot-cut, flare, and straight legged jeans. They even have different lengths you can choose from; x-short, ankle, regular, and long. I just wanted to share this to all who have trouble finding jeans.

Hi Samantha,
I have always hated my cheeks too, but as I got older, they really do not bother me as much. At your age you are identifying with everything, from your looks, your new breast on & on. We are our most worst critics. Try wearing your hair up. I find that when my hair is pulled up into a comfortable, but tight ponytail my face looks smaller then when I wear in down. As you older & start wearing makeup, you can use makeup to accent your eyes, (or whatever you choose). It will draw attention away from your cheeks. But for now experiment with hairstyles. You have plenty of time for make up!! Good luck!!! Most of all love yourself the way you are.............Take Care.

Hi,
There are some stores that have "our" sizes, with really cool clothes too. The one I go to is Cato. It has plus sies and teen clothes. It's nice, but kinda expensive. It's worth it though.

If you want 15/16 sizes try JcPenny's, you can order off the internet and pick up your order at the store.

Try Macy's, Lord & Taylors, or JC Penny's
