[QUOTE="Pipp, post: 863539, member: 100904"] If you have enjoyed it before you will again. I hadn't been swimming for 15 years. Busy with work, caring for others, then gained so much weight I was too ashamed. Yet it is the best form of exercise for someone vety large, especially if, like me they are disabled. (I had a severe spinal injury so can't walk far). I was fortunate that the NHS weight loss service took me seriously and set up a swimming pool exercise programme, just for us fat people. Once I got over the initial apprehension I enjoyed it so much, and the advantage was it helped me with weight loss and diabetes control. I no longer just go to the specialist fat sessions. I don't care if people look at me. There are very few 'perfect' bodies, after all. If I am being stared at I convince myself that it is admiration for my spectacular swimming style. :D [/QUOTE]
