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!

I agree with the fact that our society has made it much more acceptable to be obese by catering to heavier people. It isn't healthy to be very overweight...I know I was there. I have to watch what I eat even though I swim every day. Most of all even though I was fit (but FAT) I didn't like how I felt or even looked for that matter. Shouldn't we encourage everyone to a healthier weight instead of making it ok to be heavy.
There was an article in shape this month about just that. Women and men are encouraged to be happy with themselves as being overweight and because of that they think that they are ok being heavy---its like one extreme to another--too fat---too skinny---how about just right.
