Hi all I am new here. I am wondering what is a good routine to swim and lose weight? I am close to 250lbs right now and don't look good fat LOL. was doing some research and found an article written by USMS' own Bill Volckening (if he posts here, hi Bill!) that talks about how he lost weight by swimming and changing his diet, but he don't talk about the swimming much, just the eating. LOL and i've had enough eating.
His story is very inspriational though and I want tofollow suit! I've started a diet but I need help with swiming! ANy suggestions?? ThxU!

I think heridity takes part in weight, too. My mothers side of the family just naturaly gains a lot of weight easily. All of my sisters are like this. My husband takes off of his dad's side of the family were all he as to do is lift a finger and he starts losing weight. My husband can pig out and not do any exercise and not gain a pound. Me, I work out four times a week and not even eat half as much as he does. I am lucky that I lose a few pounds.
Also, woman naturally have more fat then men. I think it is harder for a woman to lose weight. I felt it was unfair to put woman up against men on the show "The Biggest Loser". The men had an advantage over the woman.
