I'll fluctuate wildly within a 5lb range, but I suspect that's just water weight.<br /><br />It's when I stop running that I put on weight quickly, and that - to me - is more of an explanation for the yo-yo tendency than the crash diet (although I'm sure that doesn't help.)<br /><br />Mainly the reason for this right now is so I can have fun at wakely - that is - run it without getting into trouble, to do well at the 24-hour race in July, and also to be in well-enough shape to properly train for what I have coming up in the fall, starting with unfinished business in the Tetons, then some pretty ambitious things I'm thinking about for October. But we'll see.<br /><br />What makes it possible is I sat down and defined a beginning, a middle, and an end. This is only for a month and a half..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7847906.post-15521310082585184172009-05-28T20:35:34.935-04:002009-05-28T20:35:34.935-04:00Dude, I applaud your committment.

Bob on Biggest Loser was getting mad about his guys not eating enough. <br /><br />You need fuel for the furnace, specially when you're running. I went from 270 down to 210 currently. I try to stay under 2500 calories a day. My running is 40 miles a week.<br /><br />Your drastic diet change is probably contributing to the yo-yo weight pattern. So think about it and check with others for wisdom. We're all an experiment of one so try to find what works for you long term.<br /><br />Best of luck and I'm looking forward to more.David Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16895710357380541330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7847906.post-44011797092750417552009-05-28T12:20:58.198-04:002009-05-28T12:20:58.198-04:00Great story Steven... thanks.

I think the key to any life change is focused intensity. .. and obviously have it. <br /><br />My wife and I did the Dave Ramsey program with regards to strict financial budgeting... and it took us 2.5 years but we paid off 90K in debt. Now we are debt free, except for the house, and the house is next. <br /><br />I think the concept is similar. I salute you.
