Hi travelarm!

I too am on my 8th day! Congratulations on your 2 pounds! Keep up the swimming, it does wonders for not only firming up, but stress relief. I swim freestyle for an hour each day, I don't know how far that is, but am very lucky to live so close to a competition pool.

I too have the problem of firming up everywhere but my stomach. I've noticed a big difference in the bloating since I started a week ago. I stopped swimming about a year ago and gained weight real fast....I love being 42, but ish....some things I could do without

Happy Laps!
