They both are good, swimming burns more calories (I am a swimmer, it burns a ton of calories, trust me), but I think running is better for fat burning. They both are great. My boyfriend is a runner who is also a swimmer, and he is skinny as a stick, with a very low bmi and % body fat. I think if you do both, you will see…

Congrats!!!!!!!!!

Ok thank you so much!

Where?

Agreed

Ok, I might just do that, and use my nutritionist's one as a real estimate, and the online as a change-over-time one.

Haha oh well :(

Yeah they do that at my nutritionist's as well, but I was curious as to why I was gaining weight and I decided to calculate my body fat based on measurements.

That stinks, I was really excited about the body fat I had lost :(

I just did my measurements and I went way down, so check yours too. It might be all muscle gain, muscle weighs more than fat.

I dont have advise but I'm there with you, haven't lost anything yet.

Your story is so motivational. Keep up the good work!

Hi, I'm new and a VA resident as well! Welcome!

Hey, I'm new here but this site is great, in a few short days its already made a huge difference. Welcome, and you can add me as a friend if you would like, I love motivational friends :)

I'm going to be in September, I don't know if that counts, but feel free to add me if you wish.

Welcome, I am sorry about the heart condition. This is a great motivator. I just started a few days ago and I love it. I hope it helps you!

I'm a vegetarian and I love morning star meals, they are all around 300 calories and delicious! Also, Odwalla protein drinks have protein in them for about 400 calories.

Feel free to add me! And welcome, I started a few days ago.

I'd love to join this! Mon: 1272 (2 hours of swimming hard) Love being on a competitive team!

Random, and I always love new friends, I need motivation having just started this.

Hi, I just started a few days ago, you can add me as a friend if you want. And I know what you mean about the yo-yo dieting, I tend to do that too, but it all stops here! Welcome, and good luck!

Drink water! Or tea! Go do something, maybe exercise, or eat something healthy very slowly till the hunger goes away.

I'll be your friend! And welcome, I started a few days ago.

This. My goal would put my B.M.I. around a 17, but I am a long distance athlete, and they all have small B.M.I.s. What was said before, there is no idea body weight, there is just what makes you feel good about yourself.

I understand, it happens to me too. I think it's more of a jealousy thing for me though.

This. Especially if your working out, it may be muscle weight, which weighs more than fat. I'm having the same problem, and I think its because I don't have regular bowel movements. Sorry to be gross but it may be because your body has some extra 'stuff' in it.

This. And I love Special K protein Shakes. Fills you up, gives you protein, and is like 200 calories.

Agreed, usually you gain weight from working out due to the water you have to drink while exercising.

Ok thats good, about the starvation mode, I will up my fiber intake! Thank you!
