are you losing wt as you go? My hikes seem to be helping me trim down a bit.

Yes. At some point I'll post pics about my PCT weight loss program.

The problem is I know from experience that I have to do something different when I'm off trail.

I'm kind of experiencing the same hunger thing after losing 45lbs recently.
