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,

Hey all,
I'd love to hear personal weight loss due to swimming success stories! I'm working on an article for Swimmer Magazine on the subject. If you or anyone you know has lost 10 or more llbs swimming and healthy eating shoot me an email kzjenna at gmail dot com!
If you have tried to lose weight swimming but it just doesn't work for you, I'd like to hear from you, too!
drop me an email!
thanks!

I am a little over a month getting back into swimming. I swim a mile (alternating between all swim strokes except butterfly, kickboard, and hand paddles), and I don't watch my calories. I haven't lost any pounds on the scale, but people have been asking me if I've lost weight. My arms are smaller as my blazers are fitting better in that area. This is similar to what happened in High School (1999) when I joined the swim team. I held onto my weight (per the scale), was bloated in the stomach (pants fit tighter), but overall appeared thinner. Then about three months into training the weird bloating went down and I lost tons of weight in what seemed like overnight.
