    If you're losing inches, then I'd say what you really need to ditch is the scales! Easier said than done I know, we're so conditioned into believing that one little number means we're "healthy" or not.

    Your fitness and size/shape matters much more to your health than the number on the scale.

    On the other hand, -1kg in 4 weeks is still -0.5lb per week. Which is a slow but steady and healthy rate of weight loss, not "staying the same".

    I would give up swimming and spin as neither of them aid weight loss

    spinning is excellent for weight loss. it is cardio interval training. diet is the most important factor when trying to lose weight. eating the right things at the right time is important. try no carbs after 6pm. up your protein reduce carbs/ sugar and the weight will fall off.
