The weight loss ...Careful with that weight, there. The weight loss will not be linear -- it can and will accelerate. I started Campo at 183lbs, and by VVR (a few days north of KM), I was down to 167 (not quite the 10% you've already lost). By Sierra City, even after not hiking and just eating/drinking in Tahoe for 4 days, I was down to 157. This weight loss will start taking a toll on you, so look for some fatty foods to boost your calorie intake. Your hiking pace will efficiently burn fat, and as you know, fats have two times the caloric density of other foods. Heck, buy a small bottle of olive oil to pack and pour on your food!<BR/><BR/>Good luck,<BR/>Iron ChefMatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14339299974751079292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8800006321826040242.post-69802107262612854392007-06-28T18:22:00.000-07:002007-06-28T18:22:00.000-07:00oooh contrail! i have my eyes on one as well. i'll...oooh contrail! i have my eyes on one as well. i'll be interested to hear what you think of it.milsomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15159137666525795940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8800006321826040242.post-91523651963579132142007-06-28T17:29:00.000-07:002007-06-28T17:29:00.000-07:00Congratulations on making it out of the desert. Y...Congratulations on making it out of the desert. You've lost 13 pounds? I think that's too much, considering you have almost 2000 miles to go. I can't think of what to do to fatten you up. Perhaps the corn chips & salsa you received might help a tiny bit. I know you have a lot of muscle to keep you going, that's for sure. Thanks for the update. I hope to see you soon.<BR/>Hugs!Jo Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06531744273293564813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8800006321826040242.post-69584191241112923612007-06-28T16:48:00.000-07:002007-06-28T16:48:00.000-07:00Glad to hear your out of the dessert.
