Who here has lost a ton of weight? How much? Were you a runner before the weight loss? Did you give up running during the weight gain? How did you lose the weight?
I've lost 55 pounds with about 10-12 to go. Was a runner, then not, now a runner again.
How? What kind of time frame?
It's been about 30 weeks now, so slighlty less than 2 pounds per week, and the first week I lost 7 pounds. I've heard reasons for this; something about water weight being lost due to taking in more water; I'm sure someone could expand.
Just basic stuff really. Drinking lots of water every day, no eating after dinner even when hungry, eating breakfast every day, eating moderate meals with lots of fruit and veggies and not going out for fast food pretty much ever. Also, I've been more consisent with the running. I now run 6 days a week where before I had large stretches of not running or only running 1-3 days per week.
Lost 40 lbs (190 to 150) in a summer (late May to late August). Was a runner, got injured, hammered the pizza and beer, packed on the LBS, got pissed and just went at it steadily...no major mysteries/tricks. Ran more, ate less, lots of water, limited the beer. Took it off that way and kept it off the same way (13 years now).
