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!
No one likes to be told they are heavy or ugly. Being a little heavier than I'd like and a lot uglier, I will just resign myself to both.
However, personal perception of ideal height/weight shouldn't be confused with the realities of actually being overweight and the health consequences of such. You may be the hottest 196 pound, 5'10" person on the planet but you should also consider that the doctor isn't trying to be insulting by advising you on the risks you take by being too heavy.
I watched a fascinating Frontline on PBS about the plumping of Americans and the point was made that obesity is as big a health problem as smoking but no one seems to want to stand up and yell at fat people like the way smokers are increasingly berated.
