I love walking......just need to get out and do it. That's why I was thinking a treadmill would be beneficial....plus when the weather is bad I have no excuse.

Turned 60 in March. Started this journey on August 1st to lose 30-40 lbs. I've given up diet soda, sticking to drinking mainly water....or adding flavor to it. I don't exercise much because I sit at a desk all day and to be honest am too tired by the time I get home to do a 1/2 hour walk. Need to seriously work on…
