Quick weightloss question

[giraffy]

I'm ramping up the mileage for a half and trying to lose some weight at the same time. My body is telling me to FOAD because even for training for just a half, I'm starving with a calorie reduction. Maybe I should rethink my plans.

Honestly, I just had to learn to accept a constant state of kind of hungry. It didn't matter how much I ate, I was just always hungry. So I just had to watch intake, make sure it was reasonable, and ignore the runger. Stupid.

 

Now it's settled down. Or I've become immune. Hard to say.

Wait, is deluxemary the tall chick? THIS THREAD IS WORTHLESS WITHOUT PICS.

 

When I was marathon training, I gained weight. Most people do I think. Dean Karnazes has talked about eating two large pizzas while running (literally, holding the pizza boxes and eating while running) and still being hungry.

Yeah. She's, like, 8 feet tall or something. And skinny. I don't know where those 6lbs are going to come from.

 

I didn't gain any weight, but I sure as hell didn't lose any. I was starving, all the time. I am still kind of training, for San Francisco in a few weeks, but I guess my body's adjusted, and those 20 milers don't make me want to eat all the things any more.

 

That's the thing about being ridiculously tall... I have almost 8 feet (5'11" to be exact) to pull those 6 lbs from

 

And didn't you post a picture in our Tinkerbell Half thread of us after the race... the one where I'm standing next to all you 3'6" chicks and look like I escaped from the circus?

 

 

Trick, I've seen those pictures and you in no way shape or form look like a circus freak. You look hot. With legs.for.days.

 

I kinda hated you for that, since I would matched Giraffy and the rest of the "too short" crew. Without all the boobage.

:wub: Thanks, Nem.

 

I only lost 3.5 lbs in the last two weeks, which put me at 10.5 lost overall. I didn't want to do anything crazy since I thought it would be "cheating" in a way, so I just stuck to fresh fruit, veggies, and protein for the last 2 weeks. Oh well - I'm pretty proud of myself, but I doubt it's enough to win. We find out tomorrow, but unless the girl who was ahead of me only lost 1 lb in the last two weeks, I didn't win
