In your experience - what takes off inches faster
Walking or jogging? or intervals? in your own experience, what helped take inches off faster?

Haven't run since grade-school....any tips???
I'm pretty sure I haven't run since grade-school. Except one time when I was in the woods camping with friends and we thought there was a bear coming after us.... but I don't count that since adrenalin and fear is what really made my feet pump. Anyway, I'd like to start. I have concerns that I'm still on the too-heavy side…
