strength training with bad knees and feet
So I currently weigh around 273lbs and have joined the ymca so I can do swimming as a good cardio exercise that won't bother my bad feet or knees at this high weight. When I was steady exercising a year and a half ago, I started at a lower weight (240ish) and didn't have near the problems with my knees. I work retail on my…

5lbs a month?
hi all I used to easily lose 10lbs a month. This month I only lost 5. Since Im about 50lbs from my goal can I no longer lose my 2lbs a week? I figured 30lbs from goal was more along the 1lb a week area and 10lbs along the half a pound a week area. Am I simply off with my assumptions or am I doing something wrong now?…
-
should I up my calories or wait another couple weeks?
I've got my calories set for 2lb loss a week which I used to lose easy but last few weeks have been anywhere from .4 to 2.2 lbs a week. Please check out my diaries and give me opinions if I should reset my goals for 1.5lbs now since I only have 50 more lbs to lose :) Thanks Kimmy

arms
Hi folks, So I'm doing well on my weightloss goal but I'm unhappy with the lack of loss of my super flabby arms. If I add light weights to my daily routine of cardio will it help with my arm flab?
