had a small op on the knee yesterday all went ok,they confirmed i have bad arthitis in my left knee ( i could have told them that) and there is not a whole lot they can do for me at the moment they are puting me on meds for swelling and pain.I am haveing another op in december to clean the knee joint up.Doctor said that i am to young for a knee replacement yet(34) but will need one in the futher.I am not to do any training that causes heavy impact to the knees so he said to stick to light walking and swiming:(.plus he said it would be helpfull if i could drop another stone before the op.Does anyone know is swimimg any good for weight loss or do people just swim to keep fit because i know people that are fairly large who swim 30-40 lenghts of the pool every day.Sorry for the long post:o

Glad to hear the op went okay anyway but sorry to hear you are still suffering pain with it.

Swimming is a great way to lose weight if you can swim fairly well ie. do a good few lengths at a time. If not, you can practice them until you are like a fish in the water. You can also do interval training in the water which is great for weight loss and should be fine for your knee. You can google a few programmes.

The only problem with swimming is some people find it increases their appetite so undo all their good work by eating more. You have the advantage of having your diet sorted already so you know you can't increase your calorie intake and just have to make the right food choices to compensate.

A couple of things for you to remember.

1. Weight loss is not linear. Just because you had a great week doesn't mean that you will lose the next week, sometimes it takes your ody an exta few days or week(s) to catch up to our efforts

2. You have lost a lot of weight in a short time. Well Friggin done. You're body is probably all over the place. Sometimes it needs time to adjust to what we put it through. If you keep going the way you are, you will keep losing. Some weeks you will lose lots, some weeks nothing, some weeks a little. You have to stick with it though. Your body is smarter than you are.

3. Well done on such a change. If everybody coming through here looking ti change there lifestyle took on the advice given to them as well and quickly as you have, there would be a lot more happier and healthier people.

4. Stop drinking the diet coke!!!!!

thanks ul for yet more good advice, the big difference i find this time around is that i am sticking with the lifestyle as before i would have lost no weight after a big effort the week before i would have said **** it whats the point and started to eat bad again,but this time if i have a bad week it
makes me more determined to do better the next week.going cold turkey on the diet coke again.;)

metamorphosis

Good attitude. Sorry about grammar and spelling above - i am a terror for it.

It's exactly that - a lifestyle change. Part of that is to realize and remember that there will be, in the future, weeks where you will eat ****. You will be at an advantage however knowing what you need to do to pull it back in. There are also going to be times when you are in a situation and end up eating crap eg meal out, caught off hand with friends. A meal here, or there, or a day here, or there is never ever a make or break. Nothing ever is make or break. You can always pull back, and you already seem to know and acknowledge this. That's the hard part.

You've done brill anyway as everybody else has already said. Keep at it.
