The Fastest Age

Originally posted by Conniekat8 Yeah, I only started swimming this last July. I was about 40 pounds overweight and completely out of shape. Nopw I'm only 20 poiunds overweight, and about 1/3 of the way getting into shape, so, I think my results are fantastic, considering the levet that I'm at for the moment. Once I get to the best shape I can be in, I'll have Ion for breakfast! :p Way to go. Be proud of what you have accomplished no matter what anyone else says. And look forward to everything else you will still accomplish in swimming. I'm pretty much in the same boat - started last January - 34 years old, 5'9-1/2" (gotta get that 1/2" in there!:) ), 215lbs., spare tire. Now I am 35 years old, (still 5'9-1/2") but I go about 173lbs. Still have a spare tire - but now it is a spare tire for a Neon - instead of for an 18 wheeler! :rolleyes: I may not be as fast as some of the others who post here, but I am faster than I was!:D
