:D Thanks! I found NerdFitness but not the others. This will help tons ^_^

Thanks :D @Ndj: Oh, I know I'm not building muscle. At least not actively. Swimming actually sculpts a body rather well though, but my focus is not to "beef up", just to slim down. I chose swimming over weight training because lifting is hell on your joints and my family has a history of bad knees, etc. I might work on…

Ah, I see now, I didn't know the deficit was already factored. Though I think I chose the wrong activity level. I picked moderate, but I literally swim hard laps every single day and sometimes do extra cardio if I've eaten something I regret (lol). How do I change it so I am not under-fueling?

Ah, the morning. My problem is that I've always been kind of an insomniac and I uuuusuallly sleep through morning, lol.

@Virgo: I can't say I am. I'd say that I might be doing it in the ballpark range - I usually get done swimming at around 10:30-ish and weigh in before I get into pajamas. I'll have to set a specific time for more consistent results. As for my clothes, they fit the same unfortunately. @Grace: Wow, tons of info here :D I…
