    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.
