Hi ready16. lol that's funny, my name is Ellen and I am 44. My goal is 135, I did hit that and was there for a while and I'd sure like to see it. Being realistic maybe 140 or 145 :roll eyes: I am glad the first 2 weeks are over. I thought they were awful while other people say they were a piece of cake. I had a hernia repaired at the time and I take about 15 different meds, now one at a time, so its a slow transition. I should have worked out on my arms prior to surgery. Better to pull myself up with. Start getting used to that water. I had a hard time getting it down at first.
