Excellent job !! You are an inspiration.

Thank you all for motivational comments. May be I did right by expressing my feelings here. I am back.

Yes, walking helps losing weight. I am with MFP for almost 6 months but in first 4 months (for the last 2 months my weidht is stagnant) I lost ~35lbs just by controlling the diet to suggested level and walk about 5-6 miles everyday.

1) Drink lot of water 2) Eat within the calorie guidance 3) walk/workout atleast 30min a day (7 days a week) 4) Never let the scale overcome you. 5) patience

Paaji....tusse te fatte chak ditte !!!! Well Done !! Keep going and keep inspiring people.

Thanks..

I use "My tracks" for tracking the distance and speed. I do not do any other workouts other than walking. Is there any andriod app available which "does not use mobile data "and gives distance and calories burn. I know on iphone there is an app (walk star) which do not require mobile data and does what is required.

Following the replies/suggesion I am getting, all I need are : - Walking/waterproof boots : I have it - Waterproof Jacket : I have it - Thermals : I have it - So, I have everything but the waterproof lower. It was just an EXCUSE that restricting me from going out !!!! Thanks all making me realise it.

Yes, we do have Aldi...will check there. Thanks

Joining gym is not a big deal...but utiling is. I was a member to the gym but rarely used it due to time crunch. I live in Solihull, Birmingham, UK.

Thanks for the lovely suggetions. I will do some shop around for these.

nice progress...keep it up

Yes I did...I lost 30 pounds in 3 months (193lbs to 163lbs)... all by : 1) healthy eating 2) logging everything i ate 3) drinking plenty of water 4) walking 6+ km everyday (roughly 1 hour a day)

Good work...keep it up and keep inspiring people like us.

Hi...I am 5'7" and 163lbs right now. When I started MFP 3 months ago I was 193lbs. Though my lowest I remember was 125lbs (back when I was 25 (now I am 40), and I am attempting for 150lbs. I am getting comments now that what is the need of going further down on weight as ~165lbs dont look bad on me. But there is a tummy…

I should agree with you and try to build up my muscles with workout and countering the exercise with intake. But saying so, I can only do cardio (walking/running on treadmill) for an hour every day...anything other than this like pushups/pullups not my cup-of-tea...Or I would say I struggle coping with it.

I appreciate your comment. For me to be in the healthy weight category (BMI) I need to be 155lbs. Also want to reduce the fat our of my tummy part which shows up awkwardly. You are right in saying so that I would rather try to build mussle rather than losing lean mussle by going on lean diet.

I take your point. I am 165lbs now and TDE is 1900 but consumption should be TDEE-20% which is equal to 1500.

My TDEE is ~1600 and assuming less intake would help in reduction of weight. I am finding its adequate for me to eat in the range of 1200-1300cals. Though I use to do a cardio of 1 hour a day atleast every day of week but stopped for a while. I am 40 and 5'7".

My query is on food not on exercise. I accept I am not doing work-outs but lower-intake should help in reduction in weight. And trying to understand how eating more can help in this.

Thanks for the replies all. Yes, I try to be as accurate as possible while counting calories. Honestly, stopped doing workout in last 3-4 weeks just concentrating on the food intake. I will add some cardio to my diary and will try to eat that back and would see the result.

Thanks Cherry for the reply but I have seen people putting the numbers in percentage that they fat loss is 20% or something like that. Thats where the question comes, how to measure the loss of fat ?

Commendable !! Contratulations and keep inspiring people like this!!

Me too from UK...if you want, can add me. Thanks, Ravi

I meant...15h May

I know what exactly you are going through !! I had this terrible time a month ago (15th June) when I started to jog instead of walking on the treadmill and my max was 30sec (@6kmph) and I was going out of breath and my shin started to hurt a lot. All I did, I started walking faster (4 to 5 kmph on treadmill with incline)…

thanks. though, I am losing weight but not the belly...I would definitely like to give it a try.

Thanks Shayleac.

And also never meant to go down 30lbs in 1 month...thanks babydiego87
