Re: Extra Weight
I had gained a bit a weight and was up around 225 a few years ago.
In 2007 I did a 9 day trip from Toulumne Meadows to North Lake.
I was sweating like crazy and having some problems keeping
up with younger hikers when doing uphills.
I joined a program at my university's med school nutrition department
and got my weight down to about 185. I did the JMT northbound from
Horseshoe Meadows with a side trip over Lamarc Col and back in at
South Lake. I finished at 175. I was amazed how much less I sweated
and I remember going from Red's Meadows to over Donahue Pass in
one day (26 miles). I could really move fast uphill. I was passing a bunch
of young men in their 20's. I was 51.
I can say with certainty that the 40 pounds I lost on belly made more of a
difference than the 20-25 pounds of pack weight that I have cut out over the
last 10 years. As an added bonus my feet and legs are holding up much better
on the 18+ mile days.

Re: Extra Weight
To paraphrase Bicycling great Eddie Merkxx -- instead of spending big bucks on the latest equipment to reduce weight lay off the Krispy Kremes

Re: Extra Weight
I have lost 27lbs since Memorial day and I feel great. I hiked up the hills, down the hills so much better, it is great. The energy difference is amazing.
