Kelly -
It's not just typical, it's almost Gospel.

Most males tend to lose a lot of weight on the Trail.  I lose about 55# in 
the first half of a thruhike.  Then I level out and even gain a few pounds.  
But females typically maintain the same weight - or even gain a few pounds - 
on the Trail as they put on muscle mass.

Your revenge is that the males tend to regain all the weight they lost - and 
sometimes a few (or many) pounds more.

Maybe you'll get lucky and be the exception to the rule?

Walk softly,
Jim
