Dont know how many of you have undiagnosed sleep apnea, but getting that problem fixed is an easy way to cut 10-15 lbs. If you snore and are over weight, chances are good you have obstructive sleep apnea. Go to your doc, get a sleep study set up and see wha tthe results are. Not only is sleep apnea bad for your weight, it is terrible for your heart. Oftne times people over look the simple things. Getting a cpap machine for nighttime use can dramatically help your overall moral and health.
When I was racing compeptively nationally I had a personal trainer. I went to the gym 3 days a week and ran everyday. I ate like a horse, although when you brun a lot of calories, you can eat about as much as you want, like TF said. At this stage in the game my knees and ankles are junk, so running is just flat out painful. THe new craze is bicyles. I am purchasing a new bike for the summer. I am gonna buy a Scott speedster, its a roadbike. In the summer I ride 30 miles 3 or 4 times a week. Bicyles are great form of exercise, and easy on your joints. Although, you have to push, you cant just coast every where!
