100 lbs overweight

[remembering]

I'm obese and need to lose 100lbs. Does counting calories help and what exercises can i done with a leg that suffers from nerve damage

[vickiporter3]

I join daily

yes!
It helps.  
I am never 100% accurate but it gives me an idea of what I am eating and the calories associated with a particular food.  Makes me stop and think do I really want to eat that?  If I do, I know it will cost me time in the pool.  

I have one knee replaced.  Other knee has 1 ACL missing.  I have sciatic nerve pain and bursitis in my hips.  When I swim laps almost ally pain goes away.  
I started at 264.  I am down to 233 (was down to 223) but they closed our pool for 6 months and 16lbs regained and all my pain was back.  
I have been back in the pool for 3 weeks have lost 5.2 lbs.  And feel great.  
I go swimming (laps, walk across pool, weight belt do jumping jacks in deep end) I don't do the jazzersize as I move more than them by doing laps.  Costs less too! And I get to swim longer.  I ago for 2-3.5 hrs every day or every other day depending on my schedule.  
If u have questions feel free to contact me at ***@****

if you used this app correctly you can enter in your current weight and what your target weight is in it will let you know how many calories a day you need to burn or eat. And I would also suggest that you do some water aerobicsbecause that would really help out your legs. I hope this helps.
