Help! I'm trying to aquire the motivation to swim daily...well six days a week, one day of rest. I need to lose around 50 pounds by winter, but I still can't get myself in the pool. I don't know why. I guess a few reasons could be: (1) Social anxiety (2) People seeing how fat I am (3) Failing Can someone help me gain motivation to get into the pool so I can improve my life? Thanks! Best, Chris

    Thank you! That was a very kind post. : ) I need to lose 50 pounds by winter so I can fit into the XXL ski race suits. I'm not going to fit into the XL one I have now (that was when I weighed 220). My ultimate goal is to get down to 220-230, but be physically fit. I don't care much about weight, I guess, as I care about being fit and having a sculpted body. That's my ultimate goal. I guess you're right, to see any progress, I need to get in the pool. You're lucky your pool is empty - mine is always full. You usually have to circle swim in the lap lanes. They're currently building another pool at the local YMCA. Best, Chris
