For those athletes who want to lose weight

bstamps12

Here is a great blog article written by a woman who has qualified for the Olympic Trials in the marathon (her PR is around 2:37 I believe). I know many of you on MFP are competitive athletes who struggle with wanting to lose weight while not affecting your athletic performance and I though this might be encouraging for you

And by the way, I've seen this woman in person recently, by all standards she is so tiny...you would never guess she weighs 130, it must be SOLID muscle!!

I am an inch shorter than her and weigh the same, and I look quite thin, so I can't imagine why she would think she looked fat at that size.

I wouldn't care to look like a marathon runner, so this information is subjective.
