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!

    Aquageek- I don't think anyone here is denying that obesity is not a problem. What some of us are trying to state is that you can be overweight or even considered obese and still be fit and healthy. I am sure there are people out there who are in a normal weight range and is not as fit or as healthy as I am. And yes I will take it a little personally whenever someone makes a comment about others needing to just lose weight and stop making excuses.
