Help!!!!

Hi we haven't talked before, what exercises do you do in the water. I've just started swimming but while I'm in the pool I do marching on the spot, leg stretches walking, squats and swimming. Is there anything you do different to that are you in a class or on your own.

Hi Mouse, I just do lane swimming. My weightloss has been very quick, so I don't think any amount of exercise would stop my skin from becoming saggy! X

I am fine thanks Ceecie. Thanks for asking. I have been doing Aquafit for two years now (started in Jan 13 when I was size 24, twice a week). Now do Aquacombat. I have been doing Zumba once a week for 18 months (started about six weeks after my bypass when I was still size 20ish), and now do Intense PT Circuit training too once or twice a week, to build stamina, upper-body strength and generally tone/contour my body. It is certainly all very worth while ... hard work but worth while for sure. I have exercised all my life, even at my biggest. I cannot comprehend how I managed it carrying the equivalent of the current me around all the time - how did I not keel over?!

Keep up the swimming ladies as it really is the best exercise while your body adjusts itself xxxx

Yes! I am constantly covered x

I've always bruised easily, but I've always been anaemic but I can't take iron tablets.

Yep and not just legs either .. I left our house yesterday and by the time I got down my stairs I realised my hand was painful and the vein in my palm was swollen. Ten mins later it was black n blue and I could barely grip the steering wheel. Now I wouldn't have minded if I had been carrying something or gripped something too tightly etc but I had done absolutly nothing? Today there is just a shading of a bruise ..so odd as they usually hang around for a month or two. I developed a bruise on my index toe in similar circumstances at the weekend ...I truly do not recall doing any thing but it felt like I had broke it!

I've been doing some research on T'internet, as you do......apparently it's lack of protein OR Kidney Failure.......nothing to worry about then!!
