At exactly six weeks out, my incisions finally healed enough for me to get to the local pool for my aerobic workout. I successfully avoided exercise for my whole life until three years ago when I got hooked on 3X a week vigorous Water workout and lap swimming. I have not been in the pool for my deep water work out for 7 weeks, and it felt great!! I was also wearing new swim trunks as the old ones were too big.... I am going to alternate swim days with treadmill time. My next goal (likely another 50# to go) will be to get back on my bicycle, I need lots of exercise to keep this weight loss going steady -- over 50# in six weeks, not complaining.

Thanks everyone for all of your support on these forums.

Yeah!

I was able to get in the pool yesterday. The first time since we closed it at the end of the season last year.

My old suit still fits but it's really baggy in the butt.

Of course, it rained all day today.

@ Great news, about getting back in the pool. Have fun!
