Just wanted to see if anyone here has noticed a significant change in their swim times after losing a decent amount of weight (at least 35 or 40 pounds). Did you notice minor time drops or major time drops after you lost the weight? Or did your times stay the same?

Don't worry about wearing a suit. When people are swimming laps, they are not watching what other people wear.
I wonder if some type of Pilates or Yoga type moves would help you. I work out a lot to advanced videos I have found on the internet. Some of the ab moves such as holding "planks", doing ab work on a ball, are quite good. I have never gotten a Pilates tape, or done a full Pilates work-out, but I hear people swear by it for leaning out their muscles.
Dolphin kicking in the pool can help your abs also.
If you are still in the weight loss process, it just may be that the abs is the last place you will lose it. It seems we all have an area that is stubborn. It is the last place lost, and the first place gained. For me, it is fairly even everywhere, so when I get large, I get large everywhere:( , and I have never ever been small!
