I also just tried Pilates last night for the first time. What a great little
workout. My abs are definitely feeling it today. Ah, what a feeling. I'm
also going swimming tonight, as long as I can find my nose-plug, and will do
about 45 minutes.

Hey Marijke,
certainly maintaining is better than gaining. I think that you will
notice a difference using the pilates. I have been doing it 4 days a
week for about six weeks now. I have only lost 14 pounds in that 6
weeks, but I have already dropped a clothing size. I just seems to
have tightened everything right up.

I'm sure you will hurdle this plateau, just tighten up your program a
little. Best of luck.
