I hammered down the trail, passing rocks and trees like they were standing still.
I do want to lose a little weight, not a lot, but the fat % I'd really like to change. ... anyway, I'd like to lose fat but not muscle.

thanks for the feedback. Lou... after you stopped counting calories, did you just keep the new habits?

Lou, exactly. There is a huge weight-loss industry only because millions of people refuse to recognize or accept or understand this simple fact. As you also point out, it becomes harder to lose weight as metabolism slows down, but the method remains the same. However, most people lack the self-discipline to eat less as their metabolism slows, and to compound the problem, they often tend to get physically lazier as they get older. The lack of self-discipline in eating is so pervasive, that people will assume anyone who is actually thin must not have to make any effort to be that way. I can't count the number of times people have commented to me, "Of course it's easy for you," or "I wish I had your metabolism." In fact my metabolism is just like anyone else's. I can easily gain 5 pounds in a weekend if I don't watch my weight like a hawk. My weight has gone up 10 pounds in the last two weeks, because I have been lax after my Army fitness test (and a bit depressed because I expected to do rather better than 12:50 for 2 miles). I will never forget a conversation I had once with a very obese woman. She was telling me earnestly that it was impossible for her lose weight because her thyroid was under-active or some other B.S. excuse. I told her, "If I lock you in a room and you are only allowed to eat what I give you, you will lose weight." She got very upset and attacked me with an angry irrational outburst, not omitting the standard accusation, "you couldn't possibly understand because it's easy for you." This annoyed but did not surprise me because many people are incapable of discussing their weight rationally. Dark Horse
Runners run
Did I mention I'm a little OC? Also note how I kept adjusting my goal to something which seemed achievable.
Once a runner . . .
Tramps, you sound too sane for a person about to run a marathon. What's the secret?
Be safe. Be kind.
"eat less, move more".
That's funny. On "the swamp" (the 2000 forum), there is occasionally a discussion about running plans. It always ends up as (and I'm paraphrasing here): "Run a lot. Mostly easy. Some hard. " Ok, I think I've used up my posting quota for the day.
