I am a former football player, power lifter, who has put on 150+ lbs since I graduated High School 10 years ago.
I had just joined 24 hour fitness to undo my 10 year repeat of the freshman 15. I did so because they have a pool and I'm hoping that can turn swimming into a hobby that will help me do so. Now, I've been doing some reading on the internet and from what I've been reading, it appears as if some put on body fat??????????
I need your thoughts por favor.
Since you do have such a large amount of weight to lose, I'm assuming you've already consulted with a doctor on this? He/she may give some suggestions for the best way to go about things.
That said, I personally think swimming is a great way to start, along with diet. From there, once you get comfortable, you can add in other stuff.
For those interested, Costco now has their 2-year 24 Hour Fitness certificates back! $290 for 2 years, not a bad deal, I may even do it, as a backup for swimming and weights, and could use it while traveling. Info here.
