To run stronger, happier, and healthier, stop chasing an arbitrary number on the scale.
After years of fighting her body, Brandy Talamoni has let go of weight loss—and it’s made her happier than ever.Paige Roberts knows exactly where her toxic relationship with weight began. As a high school sophomore, she qualified for the one- and two-mile races at the Colorado state track championships.
At 23, Talamoni left the military and became pregnant with her first child. After giving birth, she stayed about 60 pounds heavier than she had been. So she took up running and started eating less in an attempt to lose that weight. She lost about 10 pounds, but felt sluggish and couldn’t seem to improve her pace. She trained for her first marathon, but was afraid that eating while she ran would cause her to gain weight. On race day, she didn’t bring any mid-run fuel.
Talamoni’s experience with trying to lose weight is not uncommon. Intentional weight loss isn’t sustainable for the vast majority of people, runner or not. One oft-cited statistic, from a 2005 review study in the, states that roughly 80 percent of people who lose weight will gain it back within a year.
In September 2021, Siddhartha Angadi, PhD, a cardiovascular exercise physiologist and professor at the University of Virginia, and coauthor Glenn Gaesser, PhD, a professor of exercise physiology at Arizona State University, published a review study inthat championed the benefits of physical activity, regardless of weight. They found that increased fitness is consistently associated with a lower risk of death regardless of a person’s weight.
