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!
Agreed, but I actually have the reverse problem. I still see myslf as size 14, and terribly overweight. Pictures are a must(even thought I tend to shun the camera), because in my eye I don't see a smaller person.
My main reason for losing weight was for the health benefits. Heart disease runs in my family, better to do something now in my 40's than wait for the heart attack later.
I read something the other day, and I wish I could remember where(who knows, maybe this thread), that men tend to think they look better than they do, women tend to think they look worse.
Anyway, I have to keep plugging away or it will come back on. I know swimming helps, because when I have a span of time where my swim time is cut, it is much harder to control the weight.
