What I mean is: you should eat foods that fill you up and are good for you first. In this way you will eat less of the less-healthy foods. So eat fruit and veggies first when you are hungry, skipping the fatty and sugary foods. I eat a banana, apple and grapes every day. I eat carrots, celery, cucumber, and a salad every day. I also eat low-fat pop-corn in the late afternoon to fill myself up. Other things to do are eat slower, drink more water while you eat, and put oyu utensils down between bites. All of this will make you eat slower which will give your mind time to realize you are full and will aid digestion. As to adding more cardio, I say "yes," but be careful how quickly you ramp up. Increasing too fast can lead to injury. Great Info, Thanks I have been tracking my food intake the last two days. 1st day i was 1750 and yesterday, I don't know how I did I did it, but I was at 1500. I felt hungery when I went to bed, and thought I was going to be in rough shape in the morning. Well I am hungry, but not nearly as hungry as I thought I would be. I haven't done a work out in two days either so I am feeling like a slacker. Need to get back out there. Good luck to all. Jeremy Right on J! I feel like I'm going to pass out if I eat 1500 calories/day. And I do eat healthy foods, just can't seem to find the right balance yet... |

| 63 | Subject: RE: Racing Weight I want to play!  I am almost 5'11" and weigh 154 right now. I would love to be down to 145 ( I am small boned) but can't seem to get anywhere below 150(and struggle to maintain that) I am to a point in my weight that my diet needs to be spotless. So I could use the encouragement! I will start the calorie counting on sunday. I have a half marathon tomorrow and usually don't eat too much on those longer run days. Can't tolerate it. |

Expert 721 | Subject: RE: Racing Weight I was doing great until yesterday- there were parties at two of our neighbors, starting early, and ending late (got to bed at 1ish!). I drank a lot of water, but still when you are out for 10 hours it eventually adds up! I'm a little nervous for the scale tomorrow but we'll see. |

Hit the scale this morning for a quick look and it came up 242 - something's gotta be wrong - perhaps I am still dehydrated from yesterday - no way did i lose that much weight in less than a week... |

| Member 138 Freeland | Subject: RE: Racing Weight Its not to late is it? Jan 1 I was 270 lbs, dropped to 240 lbs by April 1st and now I am stuck in he 230's. Just started really training more consistent. Wish my food intake was more consistent. I have tossed the idea around of lgging food but never have. My goal is 200 lbs by Sept. Currently i am 236 lbs. My big obstacle is I work a swing shift and every 2 weeks I switch from days to nights. Oh yeah and they are 12 hour shifts. I do fine when I work days but when I work nights i do not sleep very well and eating is even worse. |

I think the key for me is to prepare food in advance and bring it with me. I am working on picking out a night of the week and making 4 or 5 lunches, 4 or 5 breakfasts, and a couple of dinners and putting them in the fridge to eat later in the week, if not I get rushed and then eat badly. I am going out on limb to say that the time spent on the food preparation is probably more important than any single workout of the week.... It's funny, this is all stuff I know to do, just have trouble maintaining it for months on end.... |

Extreme Veteran 488 Lewis Center, Ohio | Subject: RE: Racing Weight So the hardest part of losing weight for me is obviously the diet. I cannot seem to keep it under control and about once a week I binge. Another difficult part is getting my wife to support me dieting and allowing me to buy the foods I need to keep myself healthy. It has been very frustrating since I started as she says she supports me but I honestly don’t feel like it. I think I did finally convince her to let me use the foods on this diet as it is cheap and fairly easy to keep. I am hoping to make it all a week ahead of time so I don’t forget and leave it at home. The diet is from Eric Harr’s book Triathlon Training in 4 hours a week.Breakfast:1 medium sized bagel2 tablespoons reduced fat cream cheese4 strips turkey bacon1 large fruit½ cup juice1 cup fat free milkTotal: 87g carbs, 20g protein, 12g fat = 560 caloriesSnack: 1 ½ cups fat free yogurt2/3 cup low fat granola72 carbs, 21g protein, 3g fat = 408 caloriesLunchLarge Hoagie Roll3 ounces sliced lowfat turkey breast or lean pork, chicken breast or ¾ cup tuna2 oounces swiss cheeseLettuce and tomato1 tablespoon reduced fat mayo1 cup cubed cantelope 60g carb, 41g protein, 16g fat = 600 caloriesSnack:2 tablespoons dried fruit10 almonds1 cup fat free milkTotal: 29g carbs, 8g protein, 6g fat = 220 caloriesDinner:8 oz broiled salmon or ½ broiled medium chicken breast½ cup baked beans2/3 cup rize1 cup broccoli1 cup cooked carrots½ cup low fat ice creamTotal: 80g carbs, 62g protein, 24g fat = 688 caloriesTotal for Day: 328 g carbs, 152g protein, 61g fat = 2476 calories |

| Champion 9430 No excuses! | Subject: RE: Racing Weight I want in on this one if I still can. I am doing IMWI in September and only starting back training about 3 weeks ago. I know I have a mountain to climb but I'll get there. After taking basically the last year with minimal training and suffering through IMKY last August, I need to get rid of this set of tires around my waste and make the hills in WIsconsin a little more bearable. I am at 223 now and would like to see single digit 200's or in a dream world sub 200 come Sept. 12. Push me hard Please!!! Thanks Mike |

I can't make it this year as my vacation back home to WI is next week, but, I can plan it out for next year, I think. For me it's about portion sizes and then to just do something at least once a day. I have ran once in the last 2 weeks due to (Planter facitis spelling?). It is feeling better but I don't want to test it out on a run/jog yet. I did play softball last night and it didn't bother me to bad. Thinking I will wait till I am home from VACA. Good luck to all |

Pro 4353 Wallingford, PA | Subject: RE: Racing Weight I just found this thread & I would like to join, too! I'm a female, mid-40's, about 5' 9", current weight is 150. I was down in the mid 140's last racing season, but put some weight back on over the winter. I was able to drop about 8 lbs. in May, but I seem to be stalled here at 150. My body must REALLLLY like 150... I'm ramping up my run training in preparation for a fall marathon. I would really love to be down around 140 for the marathon in November. I'm tracking my food intake on FitDay, and log my training here on BT. |

Veteran 135 Northwest Pa | Subject: RE: Racing Weight I want in too! I am 6'4" , 220, 21% body fat. This season I have one more Oly, a 1/2 marathon, 4 5k's, 1 10k, and a HIM all before October... so the lighter the better. I want to be in the 210 range by August, and near 205 before my HIM. I need to get away from chicken wings. Don't eat out or processed food very much, and I am trying to eat healthy, but quantity and the occassional binge don't help. And don't get me started on beer..... |
