Joining the Paralympic swim team to lose weight

I have joined the USA Paralympic swim team in Columbus Ohio , I get to swim 700 meters twice a week and I am already seeing a difference in my weight so far I have lost 6 pounds and will continue to train so that one day I might have the chance to go to the Paralympics , I have also started eating more protein and fruits and vegetables and working out on my own, I think losing weight and training hard will make my dreams come true and I will lose weight faster

It sounds like your enjoying it too.. Great bonus as the more you enjoy what you're doing and eating the more you will stick to it and look forward to it.

Cheering you on 🎉🎉🎉
