weight loss problem

“has anyone else ever had fit problems with their packs after losing weight?”

“sounds like a rationalization to get the wife to ok some new gear.”

“not so loud, she posts here too.”

“She does?I know this is a dumb question but what is her TT name?

“baume, remember I did on the Old Settlers Trail Hike we did. That was the 1st time I had used that pack since I lost the weight. I could tell that it wasn't a good fit and that I need to readjust it before the next hike.”

“mike, she posts as running girl.

yeah ewker, i remember you talking about it too. i have been trying to adjust mine for the last year and they just don't fit as comfortably as they did. i was feeling it real good after both saturday and sunday in the smokies.”

“baume i think you can get a new shoulder strap harness kit thing from osprey. i think.”

“i'll look into that, thanks.”

“I want to congratulate you weight loss problem sufferers. This seems like a good "problem" to have.”

“How did you lose the weight?”

“Don't most backpacks have interchangeable shoulder straps and Hip belts, if so you can buy a smaller size. Also, most packs have adjusters for torso length and girth where the frame attaches to the shoulder straps and hip belt.

- unless of course you're just looking for rationalization to buy a new pack? (is there an echo in here?) and why the hell not! You lost the weight and deserve it, right ?!?

“I have a weight gain problem. I can't gain any.”

“karo, i pretty much followed the weight watchers thing. didn't cut anything out of my diet, just paid attention to how much i ate of whatever i was eating. and i started doing more cardiovascular exercising (alot more).

i lost 50 lbs initially. here, one year later, i am still there (after a slight backslide that i corrected), thinking about pushing for about ten more. that would have to be the limit though, i don't want to get below 180. it might make me look sickly.


as far as rationalization goes, i have had to replace alot of clothes that were too big, why not packs too?”

“I just emailed ULA to see if I can buy another, smaller hipbelt. It's a good problem to have.
Funny thing, I haven't lost weight really,(three pounds difference is all) just gotten rid of some fat and made muscle.”

Health experts have long warned of the risk of obesity, but a new Japanese study warns that being very skinny is even more dangerous, and that slightly chubby people live longer.
People who are a little overweight at age 40 live six to seven years longer than very thin people, whose average life expectancy was shorter by some five years than that of obese people, the study found.

"We found skinny people run the highest risk," said Shinichi Kuriyama, an associate professor at Tohoku University's Graduate School of Medicine who worked on the long-term study of middle-aged and elderly people.”

“being too much of anything is bad. thats not news!

too skinny, too fat, too stupid.... it's ALL bad for you!”

“I AM SAVED!”

“I'd rather be thinner than fatter. I've been fatter and am working on being thinner. I'll take a shorter life thinner than being fat longer.”
