I gained a lot of weight back due to depression (in the past 3 years). I bought me a fitbit charge and I've lost, since the beginning of the year, 12 pounds. However, I haven't really exercised much at all. I have been walking / jogging at night with my dog at our local track and It feels SO good to exercise again. I can't believe I let myself go so long.

My question is this. I weight 370. I know it isn't a great weight and I'm embarrassed about it honestly, but I accept that it's going to decrease big time soon ^_^ How many calories will I burn per hour walking 2.5 mph? Not jogging, just 2.5 walking speed. Thanks guys :)

Also, my resting calorie burn per day is 2700ish according to fitbit. Is this correct?

    Try this calculator, I put my info in there for running 20 min at 6MPH and it matched the treadmill and my Jawbone.

    Map My Walk grossly over estimates calories burned. At least for me it does (according to my HRM)
