You must be very fit, Dawn ... I could not swim 50 lengths. I do manage 30 mins on my treadmill though, (without any mishaps) Have you always been a strong swimmer, honey? Keep going, your trainer sounds like a sensible girl, lol xxx

You do sound really fit for a person of our size !!

A few years ago when on one of my many, many, many previous "diet and exercise" attempts when my weight was down to about 18 stone I might have been able to do somewhere near that ....

But since osteo-arthritis has made both my right knee and right hip very stiff and painful, I shuffle around like a ninety year old .... and keep thinking I "can't" do this that and the other ..... but you are making me feel guilty (!) and that I should stop thinking of myself as an invalid old biddy and see what I can do .

Thanks for the inspiration !!!

I have been limping with my knee for years so know how you feel hun, i feel so old
I have always been fit for a fatty we had 2 allotments until last year and horses most off my life and i do enjoy exercise its better when i have something to aim for and i want to be as fit as poss before my op, did i mention my bum aches :8855:
Try swimming it supports all your weight so its much easier on the joints
