Tom - 
Weight is an interesting subject with respect to long distance hiking. 
Most men lose a lot of it - and most women lose little or noe (some even
gain a few pounds).  But the women get their revenge --- because the men
usually regain all their weight loss and often more.  

You're not alone.  

Walk softly,
Jim
