Weightloss by Walking ?

My first 6 months was just walking. Like you I was too heavy for anything else and way out of shape. I started slow and finally was up to 8-10 miles a day. Joined the Y 3 months and shed 83 pounds over ten months. Most of it from walking but now I do much more. Ran my first 5k Saturday. Trust me you can do it believe in yourself. Even if no one else will.

Good job on the 5K! Walking definitely helps!

For sure! The Running ROom in Canada has a "Learn to Walk" programme. They teach youproper stretching, walking strategies,e tc.. You find walking buddies, too.
I'm quite heavy and I do the elliptical trainer as it is low impact. That might help, too.

That is amazing! 83 Pounds over 10 months! WOWOW! I just started walking after being very active over 2 years ago. My calfs hate the hills, not to mention the glutes & thighs. Walking does slim you down for sure.

By eating healthy, and walking (30-60min a night, every night) will this work with weightloss?

So I was just wondering, if I spend the next 4 months focusing on eating healthy, and clean, and incorperating dailey walking (I also do a manual labour job) will this help me lose some weight?

Everything of my weightloss /except/ the last ten pounds has been from walking. (the last ten pounds was me adding a couple minutes of running during my walk.
