    I was just reading an article on Real Age.com about, walking to lose weight. This chart tells the amount of calories you will burn doing a 15 minute walk at the pace of 4 mph. Leslie does a mile in about 14 to 15 mimutes depending on which work out you do. According to the chart:

    15 min. 1 mile walk = pace 4 mph.

    250 lb. person = burns 511 calories

    200 lb. person = burns 454 calories

    150 lb. person = burns 340 calories

    120 lb. person = burns 272 calories

    Walking with out dieting you will lose 1 pound in 10 days at this pace. This is not a debate, I am just passing on what I read....

    This is calories burned at that pace per hour, not in 15 minutes. Still not a bad amount!

    http://www.realage.com/walking/how-many-calories-can-you-burn-by-walking

    I had no idea that walking could burn this many calories!

    PLEASE know that these counts are for an HOUR of walking at that pace--NOT 15 minutes!

    I use Leslie Sansone 5-mile Fat Burning Walk and the 4-mile Express Challenge and I'm burning approximately 100 calories a mile. Right now, I'm doing 4 miles a day and my burn has been between 408 - 457 and I weight about 200 pounds. I'm using a HRM.

    When I first started trying to do the Leslie Sansone walks, I was pretty debilitated. I started out trying to do her ONE-mile walk. At first, I couldn't even keep moving my feet for the entire twenty minutes! So I resolved to just STANDfor the entire 20 minute DVD if I couldn't walk that long, and just joined in the walking when I could. I also couldn't do her arm motions at the same time as walking, at first. I just couldn't breathe hard enough! So I started doing the arm-motions parts while standing still. And my arms REALLY complained! Like I said, I was seriously debilitated! I also weighed 355 pounds, back then.

    Now, I weigh 242 pounds (yes, I lost 113 pounds, since August 2011!). I graduated from Leslie's one mile walks to her two mile walk. Then I started doing the two-mile walk twice a day! NOW I am doing her 3-mile walk, and not missing a single step or arm motion! I have actually done it twice some days!

    My walking goal for the coming month is 80 Miles. Gee, I never thought of it in terms of how many miles I was walking in a month! But that is what three miles a day adds up to, minus an allowance for missing a few days along the way.

    Congratulations on your weight loss. This is fantastic! :drinker: Doesn't it feel good to see how far you're progressing. Keep walking because you'll be up to 5 miles soon.

    I agree that posting on the message boards does make it easier for people to find out about the challenges.

    You are all doing so well!

    I haven't walked as much the last couple of days but I did start a strength training routine--just an easy body-weight one for now. I think it will help with my motivation, too.
