Walking off the pounds

I started my walking challenge yesterday, I did good I ended my day with a 3 mile walk. I could see that I was a little out of shape from not doing it in so long but I pushed through. I hope to build up my distance over the next few weeks and hoping to drop 10lbs this month.

walking is great ,but its all about a calorie deficit to lose weight. and depending on your current weight 10lbs a month may be too aggressive, or you may not see a 10lb loss. but keep up the walking and good luck2 -
Thanks I will keep that in mind so if I don’t lose the full 10lbs I won’t be so hard on myself1

Good for you! Walking is a wonderful & natural way to get some exercise without needing lots of equipment and without worry of hurting yourselfI walk 5 miles a day 5 days a week and highly recommend it. When you want to lose weight, though, remember that it is CICO. You really need to cut back calories to lose weight, as it is extremely difficult to lose weight by just exercise alone without making changes to what you eat.
Good luck on your journey. You can do it!4 -
Walking is my primary form of exercise. It's easy to fit into my day and uncomplicated. I like uncomplicated... It definitely makes a difference for me. I don't stress as much about the distance but just focus on the number of minutes walked.
10 lbs is a pretty large amount for one month. So don't be focused as much on the number of lbs lost but on the number of days you stay on your plan.3 -
Yes it is uncomplicated I can put the baby in the stroller and go he enjoys it as well!1
