I planned an AT hike for the end of August a few months back and started a plan to lose weight then.<br /><br />I tried an idea I heard about from a TED talk about being a weekday vegetarian. I love steak so I figured if I just did beef/chicken/etc once or twice a week that would help a lot. It did - I've lost about 30 lbs since starting at the end of May. That's enough weight to almost equal the weight of my gear+food+water for my hike.<br /><br />Pedometer is a good idea too. I have a Garmin Hiking GPS and it makes a huge difference when hiking to know the actual distance and be able to record/track your progress over time. When I'm not hiking I've been using an app for the iPhone called RunKeeper which does the same thing - just requires the phone to be within cell tower distance for GPS to work properly.Charles Fedukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06057631290185370035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1413221578516620291.post-11691988977007824212010-07-25T17:35:47.039-04:002010-07-25T17:35:47.039-04:00Good job, Ken!
