After beginning last August 2011 working with free weights and machines and having to take 2 months off for surgery at Christmas time, I am super proud to say that I have gained 10 pounds, 9 of which is lean body mass, aka MUSCLE, baby!!! :puma: .

At the same time, I have lowered my BMI from 22 to 19. :dance:

I know how important it is to be in good physical shape to dive, so I feel so much more confident, both in and out of the water. And I'm not done! I want to continue to build up my core strength and possible add yoga or pilates to my routine.

That is so awesome girl! I noticed you were looking mightly slim but trim in Dominica!

And you are wise to get in shape to dive... sadly diving does not help you get in shape but being in shape makes the experience that much more enjoyable. :cool1:
