A little back ground first...after 19 years and 4 babies (one 8 weeks ago!!) I have completed my 18th workout and am up to 2500yds a clip..some straight swimming..some intervels. I however, have a lot of weight to lose, in the vacinity of 80 pounds. I feel better than I have in years and am encouraged by my children who all want to beat me! I do want to go to a meet but have two questions....first..how many REALLY over weight swimmers do you see at meets and how long should I wait to go to a meet? I know there is one in ST. Pete Fl in April and was aiming for that...does it seem too far away??

Just another thought. Take your children along. They will be your biggest fans and they don't care what you look like. My six year old loves to go and cheer me on. She even does my lap counts for me when I do my 500.
