Well I thought I'd tell you my "weight" news. I started swimming in January and I currently swim 1 mile every morning, 7 days a week and to date have lost almost 38 lbs in weight (that's just over 2 and half stone to us brits!) I have motivated myself to sign up for a sponsored swim raising money for a Cancer Charity and have pledged to swim 100 miles by April 20th. I did my 91st mile today and look like finishing on the morning of my birthday, April 16th (4 days EARLY!), and also on that day I will hit my target weight of losing 3 stone thats 42 lbs. I feel incredible, I have loads more energy, I've lost more than 6 inches from my waist and dropped several collar sizes. Also I seem to have bulked up on my upper body and have noticed increases in biceps, traps, chest and shoulder muscles so fully intend to continue this after I complete my 100 miles. Also as it is low-impact, it has no negative effect on my knees. I've obviously combined the swimming with a sensible diet eliminating caffeine and candy is now a treat which makes it feel more special!
