Hey Everyone!
I've noticed that it was so much easier to loose weight with running, as opposed to swimming. It seems even though i'm swimming hard, the 13 or so pounds that I need to loose haven't budged. When I was running, my diet didn't have to be really clean...in fact I ate pizza at least once a week, and found that it helped me during high mileage. During running, my weight was very low despite the pizza habit. While swimming makes me hungrier, and I'm probably burning more calories per workout, the weight loss isn't there.
Why is this?
Thanks,

Shaky,
Thanks so much for that thorough answer. Finally I understand what's going on! When I was running--it was always long distance in training for full length marathons. That's why I could scarf down the pizza with no effect. Now I'm injured and not running or even walking, but finally went to a doc, and think I'm going to be ok in about 8 weeks.
Since I understand what's going on now I'm going to add some eliptical machine to help burn fat. Lord knows my jeans could stand to be a little less suffocating!
Thanks!!
JoAnne ;)
