Swimming calories
I wanted to know how many calories I should log for swimming. I swam for 40 mins and did about 23 laps of breast stroke. The pool should be about 20m. Any guess? I would say I did it moderate strength.

So everytime I exercise...
I gain weight, which I am sure is water weight. But if I take off a week of exercising I lose about 2 pounds...they just fly off. And as soon as I start again, bam they are back. So which is my "true" weight. My weight after a week of light walking, etc. , or my weight after a week of daily 3 mile runs?
