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.”
