how do you really succeed at this?

walking speed and calories burned
I walk every day and think I am logging my calories burned accurately, but wondering what others think. I am using the "2.0 mph slow pace and 2.5 mph leisurely pace" settings on MFP. Just for reference, 3.0 mph comes up as moderate pace, 3.5 mph comes up as a brisk pace and 4.5 mph as a very brisk pace. Usually I walk to…

How I Started Over
I was having problems starting over, and I'm not going to go into why I couldn't get traction; but, I will tell you how I did it.

FOCUS T25 Knee Injuries
I finished the Alpha phase of T25 about a month ago. About a week afterwards, I developed a knee issue that still hasn't resolved itself. The injury wasn't even an injury.
