Pool season is here and I'm kinda depressed that I haven't lost weight?

Question

I'm a 6 ' 0, 200lb 35yr old man and I usually wear a colored t-shirt to the pool, as I'm self conscious of my belly and love handles. I'm workin on losing the weight and toning my ab's, but I wonder if I'm a complete turn-off to the hot looking girls there wearing bikinis?

Answer 1

This is doubtful as women perceive sexy in a whole different light than do men. Take your shirt off. Wait until you are like 65 to hide the bod!

Answer 2

Pardon me, Jay, while I growl at another Answerer:
Zhimbus, how about actually reading the question? Where do you get that he's making no effort, when he says explicitly that he is?
Okay, back to you, Jay. I'm gay, not a girl, but I'm betting that anybody who sees that you're making an effort--getting into the pool without the stupid shirt and really swimming, even if it's not for long at first, and even if you put the shirt on afterwards--is going to be favorably impressed, even if they don't see results immediately.
If you show any personality at all when you talk to women (NOT too much about yourself, and for the love of Heaven NOT apologizing for your w8), that will not only make them like you more, but also make you more likable, because it will make you more confident.
Moreover, at 6 full feet and 200 lbs, you have plenty of room to trade some of that fat for muscle by working out with progressive resistance--that is, lifting weights or the equivalent--along with the cardio you'll do at the pool or on the road (or treadmill or whatever). Note that adding muscle burns more calories just because it's THERE, so it's a desirable spiral!

Answer 3

I don't know about the turn off issue, but look at it this way: Hardly anyone has "Body by Nautalus" at the beginning of the pool season. Keep that goal in your head and conjure up in your mind's eye what your prefect body looks like. Swimming is one of the best ways to get the body you want because it works the whole body. Go for it! You can do it, and good luck to you!

Answer 4

Swimming is the best exercise and yes you should go to the pool. If your swim a lot you will tone up quite nicely all over. Just swim your little ol heart out and pretend none of them are there. This is what I do and most people tell me "you're the only one that looks like they are having fun"

Answer 5

what if i told you i could make you 1/6 your weight in a matter of days? impressive, all you need is a rocket ship to take you to the moon, while you would still have a mass of what 100kg (im not actully converting it) you would weigh only weigh 168n rather than 1000n that you do on earth, your talking about your body mass, to that i have no answer. got your hopes up though

Answer 6

Read tips & articles on different types of diets, exercise programs, yoga & much more....

All about weight loss, weight watchers, Tea diets, easy home exercises to name a few

Answer 7

Nice double standard you have going there. You want hot women, but you expect them to be attracted to a person who makes no effort to be attractive in return. Hot women want hot men, unless your rich or powerful.

Answer 8

if u wanna lose weight go on a diet and go to the gym whenever u have time


as simple as that


and thats so cute how u wanna impress girls

Answer 9

why do you have to go to the pool? ,there are plenty of other places you can go fully clothed and look hot, meanwhile lay off the carbs plus you dont sound overweight, just chill

Answer 10

actually girls only notice fat girls so they can laugh about them to make them self's feel better. so i wouldn't worry about it =].
