Wetsuit: Xterra Vortex 4

When I signed up for Ironman 70.3 Branson, I knew my greatest challenge would be the swim.  Based on the advice of a friend, I ordered an Xterra Wetsuit.  It came in the mail today and I put it on in less than 10 min.  I took it out back in our salt water pool.  Within a min I floated on my back and said outloud, "Oh my goodness".  I was floating for the first time ever...felt awesome.  Immediately I lost some weight on my shoulders and anxiety around the swim.

My only concern is the sizing as I lose weight, as it was fairly easy to put on.  I've heard you want the suit tight and it should be challenging to put on.
