I noticed at about 3 weeks. depends on your size if you are larger it might take longer but it will be worth it. When you are make sure you are a little out of breath if youa re going to do it make it worth it. you also might want to check out couch 2 5k once walking becomes too easy for you.

You are off to a good start, and please don't take this the wrong way. But you get out of things what you put into them.

I know there is a large contingency that believes in the "walk away the pounds" path. And while walking/hiking makes up some of my cross training, it wasn't enough to really shed the weight. At 220 pounds, an hour would burn less than 300 calories. An punt easily blown.

Use the walking as a stepping stone and start adding some more intensity, you have to continually keep challenging yourself to see results.

Beat of luck - find your determination and you will succeed!

I was using Just dance 2 when i started, now i have the Zumba wii game. I also got a few workout dvds. couch 25k is good too.

What do you have laying around your house from past attempts at weight loos and fitness. I had enough stuff I was set when i was ready.

Be patient - you wont lose weight overnight (just the same as you didn't put it on overnight)

Don't weight everyday - you will drive yourself nuts

Take measurments as well as weighing in

Eat all of your calories (I know this is a contentious issue but I also eat back my exercise cals too!)

Drink lots of water

Even if the scales so not go your way remember you are still in a better position by eating healthily and takeing regular exercise!

One thing you could try to change up you exercise routines. Muscle confusion and all that jazz. You could add things like intervals. 30 sec high intensity sprint 30 sec jog. Hill sprints are great too! If you dont think you can do all right away just slowly work your body up to it!

Check out http://exercise.about.com/cs/abs/l/bl_core.htm. This shows you multiple different exercises you can do with your exercise ball. Towards the bottom you will find additional articles with other options as well.

Hope this help!

Add body weight resistance exercises - push-ups, squats, lunges, triceps dips. Using your exercise ball, try leg curls and leg lowering (holding it between your feet) and ball push-ups as well as the ab exercises.

i agree with what everyone is saying...but i was also going to add in there to just pick up some random fitness dvd, tae bo? 30 day shred? youtube zumba? anything that gets your butt up and moving is going to help you burn those extra calories that you want gone!
