I'm doing track right now at my high school. I'm a sprinter: don't want the weight loss associated with distance. I'm 5'10" (1.78 m) and started at 163 lbs, now at 158 lbs after just week of practice! I wasn't fat to begin with, 31 inch waist. The same now, maybe barely less. I just saw myself in the mirror today and my upper body looked like I never lifted in my life, even though my lower body looked good. Anything I can do to keep weight?
“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
How do I keep weight while running?

Just because a woman listens to you and acts interested in what you say doesn't mean she really is. She might just be acting polite, while silently wishing that the date would hurry up and end, or that you would go away... and never come back.

ur just paranoid.
i'm a sprinter too and it's really hard for us to even loose weight.
the 5 lb different might have been the sh1t you took or the water that you drank.
in one week, no matter what you do, you will not be able to see a difference in your body.

What happens, IN HER MIND, is that she comes to see you as WORTHLESS simply because she hasn't had to INVEST anything in you in order to get you or to keep you.
You were an interesting diversion while she had nothing else to do. But now that someone a little more valuable has come along, someone who expects her to treat him very well, she'll have no problem at all dropping you or demoting you to lowly "friendship" status.

You're a sprinter yet you think you are losing muscle? That's wrong my friend. Firstly, because you are sprinting, you are putting lots of pressure on the muscle for a short period of time with builds up big strong bulky muscles rather than stamina muscles. As these muscles get stronger, your upper body begins to develop in order to compensate for the muscle power your legs have. When you sprint you use your legs to propel yourself and you use your upper body to keep your balance. A good sprinter will naturally have a strong upper body and strong legs, otherwise with a weak upper body, he would flap all over the place as his legs are too powerful for his upper body.
Don't worry about losing weight, it's probably excess fat, you won't lose weight from sprinting. Your upper body will naturally begin to develop in order to maintain balance and grow in sync with your legs.

You're right about the long distance running being associated with an overall decrease in muscle mass, but intense sprinting will have the opposite effect.....Instead of explaining all the physiological/hormonal effects here, I'll just post a link on it.
