[pct-l] Weight loss on a thru hike?

[Meridith Rosendahl]

>>I'm curious about amounts of weight people have lost on a thru hike and also stories of persons who may have started a hike overweight and were actually successful in completing a thru.? <<

Most hikers we met were pretty fit, but one in particular had lost 40 pounds on the trail.  He wasn't underweight when we met him, and he was a little concerned about returning to his sedentary employment once the hike was over.  Haven't heard where he is on the trail now...
