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!

  • You know, I do think many of us women use having babies as an excuse. I carried my "baby" fat around until my "baby" was 10. That is a little too long. I think having babies can change your body a little( a little more saggy here, a little more stretched there :)), but we don't have to carry the fat that remains from bearing them around forever. It is hard to be around food constantly with little ones, always making sure they eat correctly and on time, I think a lot of women struggle with that, and the exhaustion of the care of small children often translates into taking no time for the care of themselves, so no exercise, no focus on healthy eating.
