On my northbound AT hike, I started at 125lbs and weighed 110lbs by the time 
I got to Pennsylvania.  I had put back on about 5lbs by Katahdin.  When I 
was down to 110, I ran out of gas quickly but it was so hot I didn't feel 
like eating a lot.  Once it cooled off my appetite increased and I felt a 
lot better.  I hope I don't have this heat related problem on the PCT.

In retrospect, maybe I started putting that weight back on about Manchester 
Center, Vermont.  That Ben & Jerrys Ice Cream shop was very attractive.
