Hello guys,

It's almost 3 months since my last update. I have a few positive news to share.

After a 12-week front crawl course with my coach, I have made enough progress to join his masters group in January.

My 5 x 100m front crawl benchmark test improved significantly from 10:34 in late-September, to 10:10 in mid-October, to 9:40 in early-December.

I can't express how happy I am with the progress. Hope I can further improve my skills and break 9:00/500m soon.

My weight loss is going slowly but surely. I am now hovering between 190-195 lbs, with 12.8% body fat, according to the latest body scan. I am getting very very close to my 12% goal. I will keep working on it, after all the holiday eating.

Wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Well done - and here's to getting a further three stone off! It is a slow process, but it is possible, and you have shown what you can do just by changing your diet. For me, the biggie was actually portion control, and not going back for seconds.

I'm proud of you too and I think a lot of other people are as well.

Congratulations. It must be so good to know you're making progress. I've only ever swum on my own outside of a club and kind of regret that.

Geez! You are a brave man! I can't handle the freezing cold ocean here in Vancouver even in summer.

That's wonderful Speedoaddict! I think what I learned over the last two years is that you can never rush your transformation. You need to be patient and change your lifestyle bit by bit. Kudos to you!

Thank you londondan. It's never too late to join a club that suits your ability. I would never see such progress without the helps from my coach.
