  • I'm in the same boat as you trying to lose about 60 pounds in the next 13-14 months. From a fellow OP'er congrats on the decision to make a lifestyle change.

  • Walking isn't that serious is a matter of your opinion and really depends upon an individuals circumstances. Based upon your photo, a slim body like yours walking probably isn't that serious but for someone who weighs over 400lbs and hasn't exercised in a long time walking can be a very serious activity. Also it can depend…
