I overheard some ladies talking yesterday and instructing their kids not to get in the ocean. Here are two of their reasons: 1) they just had lunch and lady said you'll get cramps, you can't swim for an hour, and 2) your face will turn to scales while food is in your stomach.
Later, a young woman was advising me on my newest problem, leg cramps, and she told me it was impossible for me to get leg cramps because I wasn't sprinting. She said that leg cramping is caused from dehydration and only a person who sprints will get dehydrated; not distance people, so she suggested I see a doctor.
We all know these are pretty ridiculous, have you overheard anyone advising others about "their myths?" The people making these comments were from England.

I guess it is just that you eat more than you spend while swimming. But you tone your muscles and look better. Here is the deal: swimming will make you lose weight, but it takes too much time if you are not in it full time or as a student, college whatever. Running or weights or cycling on the other hand takes less time to spend more energy. I lost once 12 pounds true weight over a two week period walking up and down mountains for a minimum 10 to a maximum 25 miles every day. A couple of months later I got it all back. Walking will make you lose weight, if you walk about 6 hours a day. billy fanstone
P.S. The lipo thing, it is done in your arm pits and areas around, when you are doing *** surgery. They even lipo suck you in the back. I am talking from a perspective of someone who is participating actively in this activity by making sure no pain is felt during all this lipo sucking away.
