Inspiration & Weight Loss

[Unregistered]

Hi Andy

Your website and writing is a big inspiration to me. You should be very proud. Your writing is excellent and I for one would buy it in a bookstore...try and get it published!

Now, I am finally entering the zone of feeling truly like a runner. I am recording my times and planing a 3rd 10k race soon. Here I sit in Paris on business and am commited to getting up early and running down the champs elysee in the freezing cold. I must be a runner!?

BUT...the weight is still a huge problem. I was 19.5 stone (ie: very big) and now I am down to between 17 stone and 17.7 stone. I am running, going to the gym and am fitter than at any time in my life BUT I cannot shift the weight. I had some new success when I cut out bread and really watched my food but now I am shockingly putting back on weight whilst also running 10k runs each week!

What I was going to ask you was ... has running worked for you in shifting your excess weight? I keep reading in your diary of beer and food sessions yet still you run lots. So is it working for keeping your weight down?

cheers
Robert
