hey there! I used to compete when I was younger but I have gained weight since then and would love to use swimming to slim down. Swimming is my cardio of choice. My goal is to participate in a Swim a Thon in April 2005. I haven't been on a team or trained lately (since I was 11)....so I am not familiar on how to do intervals with the clock and all that stuff. Anyway...can you guys help me out? Thanks.

Dear Fat Burner,
I think swimming is a great way to exercise and never lose a pound. I have been swimming on a masters team, and can't say I started losing any weight until I started walking, dry land exercises, and eating less.
Are you involved in these three activities?
I was reading a report on google last week that said people who are concerned about being fat can lose weight but will put it back on quickly unless they walk four miles a day and keep their calories to 1800 a day.
That seems ambitious to me, but I notice that if I walk three or four miles a few times a week, I start dropping weight. Swimming without conscious eating and walking is harder way to lose weight.
