Power walking works!! (50lb weight loss)

As of today I officially lost 50lbs over the course of 10 months! I'm 5'8 and started at 198lbs and am now 148lbs. I did a few different things here and there especially at the beginning but mostly I lost the weight through power walking. Nothing fancy, nothing crazy just walking. I walk fast and strong and hard but it is totally possible to lose weight through walking. I HATE working out but I love walking outside and that's why I stay committed. I ate healthy everyday and logged my food and that helped tremendously as well. I finally feel comfortable in my own skin after 3 babies, a binge eating disorder and riding the fat/thin roller coaster for years! My goal I set for myself was to lose 50lbs before my 40th birthday in September and I am so happy I accomplished it. I was never able to reach my weight loss goals before so that's big for me. It doesn't stop though. I will continue my walks and eating healthy. Maintaining can be a struggle too but I refuse to undo all my hard work this time!

Thank you!!
I start slower to warm up then I'm at a pretty consistent fast pace throughout. The key is music for me. The right music has me walking fast and strong no problem8 -

I've been walking around the block pushing my toddler in her stroller. I was also doing 90-120 minutes (depending on her mood) at least 5 times a day and lost 12 pounds in 4 weeks. I've been at a stand still maintaining my weight because I stopped walking for the past few weeks. You have inspired me to get back out there and walk again. I'm close to your stats. I'm 5'7" and started at 191 this go round and I'm currently 179. I want to get to about 140-145
Amazing job and I agree...19-20 years old! No way you're turning 40!!3 -
