[quote=Anonymous]I've been running for ten years; I started when I was about 35. I ran a couple of marathons (MCM 2017 and 2018), and was at around 190 lbs at marathon weight (I'm 72 inches.) During the pandemic, my running went down a bit, but what increased was food and booze. I ballooned up to almost 215 by December 2020. The running simply couldn't keep up with the calories. I did dry January and got down to 205. Since then I've dramatically cut back on booze / beer (maybe a couple beers every other week), and, just as importantly, have dramatically cut back on carbs. Very small portions of bread, rice, and no sweets. Oatmeal for breakfast, salads for lunch, and one helping of whatever is for dinner. I'm now down to 194. Blood pressure is coming down with the weight. Bottom line: running is great, but food intake is just as critical. Track what you eat, stay away from booze and carbs, and keep portions reasonable, and you will lose weight. [/quote]
