[QUOTE="adm, post: 154085, member: 26425"] Keep the faith! If you are swimming 4 times a week, then you will be building lean muscle mass whilst losing fat. I swim and cycle myself, and despite having lost nearly 20kg since May, my weight loss has slowed over the last couple of months. However - I am still losing fat, just replacing it with muscle. At one point, it went up a couple of pounds and plateau'ed for a couple of weeks, then it started to decrease slowly again. Don't starve yourself - as others have said you need to eat well to make sure you aren't hungry. As for the weighing, if you do weigh yourself daily, then make sure to do it at the same time each day. I normally do it first thing in the morning "empty" :D That way it's pretty consistent. A mug of tea after that increases my weight by a pound....(big mug!) [/QUOTE]
