If he's a member here, tell him to friend me, and you can as well! And thanks for the information- that is very helpful!

Were you walking your full 60 minutes? If I may ask a personal question, how big a guy were you when you were doing this?

I was walking 1/2 to 3/4 of a mile in the morning before work, and another 3/4 after lunch at work every day.

That was part of why I was asking- thank you for confirming my suspicions!

I am just asking for information to clarify in my mind how deficits are calculated. It is not a matter of me wanting to "do whatever". Don't be critical of someone searching for the right answer. And I do appreciate your clarification, by the way. It is obvious you are doing something right having lost 74 pounds. Remember-…

Thank you, Nayshel!

Which is why I was asking. Eating the exercise calories undoes your exercise, which I do not want.

Well, no one answered, but that's ok. I decided to give it a try this morning. I am going to just listen to my body. And guess what, I finished the first training regimen this morning. I went about .6 of a mile in all for the first morning. If I can do it, anyone can.

I found a C25K app and I am downloading it to my iPhone now. I have a question- I way 354 right now. I am currently walking 3/4 of a mile per day. I had a cardiac test a year ago- my heart is fine. Is is dangerous for someone of my size to get into an intense routine like this?

Hey folks, I rejoined last week. My desired weight lost has gone up from 145 to 157, but I have lost some of that now. I am back, and look forward to seeing you all around.

In my opinion, The Biggest Loser is the biggest exploiter of obese people on the air today. Making people show their fat bodies in the most shameful fashion possible, the emotional vultures and voyeurs on that show have now shame. I do not allow that show in my home. And EMWE is not much better. No way I'd go on the show.

Hi jmhunter84, what is the name of the app? :)

What is the name of the app? I have the FitnessPal app.

I am a newbie in these parts (been a member forever, but for the first time in my life I have gotten serious about health and well being. I am going to display my extreme ignorance here, as I am new here: What are MFP and HRM? I am 6'0", and 350. According to my treadmill, I burn 200 calories after walking 8/10 of a mile…
