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!

  • Shannon, I think you are at the very hardest time to lose weight, when your children are still young, trying to work, take care of them. I think losing 15 pounds, or any weight at all during that time is admirable. I know I never was able to after my second was born. Add to that medication for migraines that added 20 pounds in 3 months, I just kind of gave up. It took 10 years for me to finally turn it around, and I will battle it for the rest of my life. It is good you are winning the fight, although it has been slow for you, you are not gaining, so you are winning!
