I enjoy the marathoning, so don't let being fat get in the way. It's funny, running isn't a great way to lose weight. For me, I need to run over 50km a week to be consistently losing weight. Which I have been doing, so I'm dropping weight. And then I have to be careful to be getting enough food in to sustain life.
(I ran 29km last Saturday, and didn't eat enough that day. Sunday, I was a zombie. Yesterday, I ran 32km, but had organised myself enough to have calorie dense food available. Ate it, feel good today. Hungry as anything, but mentally here. Of course, what did I really want to eat at the end of the run? A grapefruit.)
Medical doctors have a script, and when they see someone my weight, they generally tell me to do exercise: 20 - 30 minutes, 5 times a week. I generally ask if that's as well as, or instead the running. I've had medical doctors ask if I was sure I did the exercise I claimed.
(Life is also complicated by the old hormonal BC. My current BC has a reported side effect of weight gain, which I agree with. It's reached the end of its useful life, and suddenly, I'm dropping weight big-time.)
