I have a problem. I've played football ever since I was 7. I've never had a problem staying in shape. Earlier this year I blew out my knee. Then I was 5'10 and weighed 170 lb. (body fat percentage being 10%) but since I couldn't participate in sports anymore, I started to gain weight. I could tell a difference within just a couple of months. I could see my six pack turning into a big pile of flab. Now, I'm 5'11 and I weigh about 200 lbs. I've gained several inches in my waist. I can even wear my dad's clothes. I can probably play football in the fall, but I don't know if I can get back to where I was before. If anyone has any ideas to help me get back in shape, I'd really appreciate it.
