I finally made arrangements to go swimming once a week, and ive sent off an email for info from a local fitness gym. And im going to weight watches. FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really need this as im having knee and back problems and my weight is not going down, only up. Im 3 kg shy of 100 kg Sad

Now I feel like im getting my life back.

Very Happy

Thanks for all the inspiration.

Good luck! Your weight doesn't sound all that high considering the fact that you're not exactly short....
In any event, kol hakavod for taking control and being proactive!

Just a personal tip from experience. Swimming is great for relaxation. For weight loss and shaping you are much better of with an aerobics class, pilates or yoga, at least twice a week. You will feel better and see quicker results. Good Luck and hope you can do it for a while! Hatzlacha

but for how many days will I be in pain?

Give it one day. Take some motrin and nice hot showers. This pain is good, your're building muscle.
Keep on swimming, Im so impressed you can swim the butterfly! I have swimmer envy! Smile

Where I swim, Im surrounded by people in their 70's and 80's swimming laps. They are incredible!

When I was there I got a few compliments on how well I swim. I told them that I grew up in Australia were we get taught to swim all the different strokes yr round in school and most people have swimming pools in their backyard.
