Some of the people on here are SICK, and have terrible body image!!
I'm 5'3 and weigh 120 pounds, and that is pretty skinny, since I do swim team and water polo.
If you're 5'8, I'd say anywhere from 130-160 pounds is appropriate to be "normal" and look FANTASTIC in a bikini!! It all depends on how you're built, and where your weight disperses. So if you think your tummy needs a little toning, do some crunches or start a cardio program! And eating healthy well-proportioned and nutrient dense foods is always a good addition to exercise.
Hope that helps and have a wonderful summer season by the pool!!

It depends, if you go to the gym and tone up then you can get away with weighing more. I'm 5'8" myself and if I weigh less than 140 I get sick all of the time, but I'm guessing that may be just a personal thing. I suggest going to the gym and doing cardio and then some weight training and not be so concerned with a number and more how you look :)

If you have abs and muscle, 125 to 135. But if you are just naturally skinny, around 115-125.

You don't have to weight like feather to wear bikini! Important is you have to avoid showing fat, means even if you weight 140lb but your body is tight, it will look good in bikini. My fitness trainer is only 5'2" and she weights 120, all muscle (muscle weight more than fat) and the people are crazy about her!

I'm 5'8" and fluctuate between 125-130. I have boobs and a butt though, so take that into account. I feel comfortable in a bikini at these weights.

To me 5'8" is very tall for a 12 year old. I'm 20 and I'm only 5'5". You should feel tall but not abnormal. You will likely grow a lot more.

115-120 if you just want a bikini body, but if you have curves like boobs, and a butt then maybe 120-125. but 125 max.

It all depends on build and how your body carries fat, but I'd say anywhere under 135 lbs.
