Thanks for all the tips...they are all wonderful!! I have naturally curly hair as well. I use a wide tooth comb, herbal essences curl enhancing shampoo and conditioner and Aussies leave-in conditioner... There is a brand called Jessicurl that I use as well. They have all kinds of products and it was designed by a woman who…

Any body of water, Pinterest, Reading mystery novels, and ice cream! :-)

Thanks! Wonderful job on the weight loss!! I swam my first mile last night! Not all at once, took some breaks but felt so wonderful for doing it! xx

Hi Stacey! I have been swimming 5 times in the last two weeks..I feel so energized yet tired when I am done! I have lost 5 lbs so far. I haven't measured my waist but I am on the last hole in my belt for the first time in 6 months so I think that it is working! :-) Betsy

Awesome! Thanks so much for the information...time to hit the grocery store! :-)

HI! Ive been doing the zero to mile workout...its been helpful because it allows me to work on my breathing and technique to build up to swimming a mile straight. Here's the link: http://ruthkazez.com/SwimWorkouts/ZeroTo1mile.html It also gives ideas for 50m pools Happy swimming!

I woke up witht he same thing a couple of weeks ago! I thought it was due to climbing a tree to go ziplining but more and more kept appearing... I ended up going to a vitamin store and buying prenatals (high in iron, vitamin K, Potassium) and have been taking them every day for the last two weeks and I am not bruising at…

I was on Amazon looking for the Boots brand and couldn't find it but did find one called TriSwim. The brand not only has shampoo, but also conditioner and body wash. Has anyone tried this, or even heard of it?

Glad you are enjoyed it!! And thanks for your thoughts!

At this point, yes. I have joined a community pool and am swimming there. I heard that they have a small gym there but I haven't checked it out yet. Also, trying to find the time to go to the gym AND swim would be a bit too much for my life at the moment.. Any suggestions?

I color treat my hair and haven't had any problem as long as I wash it fairly quickly after swimming..I use the swim cap, though, to help decrease the drag and keep my hair out of my face.. :wink:

:smile: I have been twice as well! I love how I feel at the end of the workout..just tired enough that I can feel I did something but not completely wiped out like I did after using the treadmill..

I use ultraswim as well but it seems to take a lot to cover my head...where can I try that Boots brand?

HI! I am also new to strength training. I have started doing cardio (swimming and walking) and would like to add weights into my routine. I don't belong to a gym however and was wondering if anyone had any advice (best weights to buy for my money, at-home programs) to begin my training?

Thanks, arserine! I will keep working on my technique and beuilding up my endurance!
