- My Weight Loss Journey.
I lost around 50 pounds basically walking an hour every day. I decided to make a video showing the progress so I could look back at it and keep myself both motivated and accountable. I want to continue to live this healthy lifestyle and want to document the steps that really worked for me and also the times when it wasn't easy. But if I continued to trust the process, I'd get to the goals I had set out for myself. While on this personal journey, I enjoyed watching other transformation videos on youtube so I decided to add my story to the mix to hopefully inspire and entertain others as they did me.

If you have time walking Six miles a day os better for weight loss especially if you weigh under two hundred pounds
Yeah totally. I gained some weight back recently and am at 220 so I’m back to 3 miles a day again. #TheStruggleIsReal
@@vCloudInfo keep working you will get there
@@vCloudInfo lol... so u gained most of the weight back huh... Let me give u my 3 years experience. instead hurting ur knees walking so much and time and effort. insteas buy a set of 15kg dumbbells. do a 3 reps of any work out u want to failure. when u do a rep to failure, body produces growth hormone. growth hormone will not only burns fat for next couple days, but will put u in a better mood physically and metally as well. i said heavy dumbbells because u can reach failure faster. lets say 3 reps of bicep curl. each rep to failure... for 15g i think u will rech fail at around 6th. so yeah spend 10 mins a day instead wearing out yourself walking for nothing. or doing aeroics exercises. BTW push ups also can help u lose weight. ( push up to failure)
So I didn't gain it all back.. only 20 out of 55.. (and that 20 fluctuates down to 15 depending on the day) BUT it definitely came back in a different form.. The body recomp is real and it is because I also started doing weight training. I totally agree that some resistance training is necessary to maintain and keep losing. I still like to walk though.. I did 4 miles today in 45 minutes.. I run outdoors and feel great afterwards. So some of the weight came back but the cardiovascular progress didn't revert back much (other than carrying around more weight).
@@vCloudInfo for sure walking is good. But when u admit u dont like it, it means u need to listen to ur body. whe u say u dont like it, it means your cortisol level is high. cortisol locks your fat cells and instead burning fat your muscles will burn. i remember i used to sped 2 hours doing aerobics, on stationary bike, trademil, alliptical, then many abs exercises. changes were very slow. but when i started weight training i saw the real change. my error was, i didnt want to gain big muscles so i dont weight lifting, but i was wrong, u cant believe how to many videos here and even many trainers are in the wrong about human bodies. nowadays all i do is just walk to gym and back home ( its about 2.4 km total ). and i do some weight training at the gym. walking 3 miles a day everyday is not somethign u can keep doing in long term. but walking to the gym 3 days a week doing resistance training. will give u better results in 3 weeks than what u do 3 miles a day with all those exercises for 3 months. i know this for sure. BTW if sometimes u get lazy and cant walk. plank is very good. one plank to failure can keep u going for 2 days. im not a body builder or a trainer. im just a semi lazy person who looking for best options with less costs, either money or cost to the body. U know some parts of body dont recover, or if they do they recover at very low rate at some age. its best we make best use of them and not putting them under non necessary pressure. knees, joints, back, spine are those parts.
6 months ago, I was 250 lbs. Now I weigh 177 lbs. I walk 2 5k's per day. Morning and evening. I have cervical and lumbar stenosis, and walking is low impact and something I can do. It's the only exercise I do. For me, walking is the best exercise for people who have physical limitations.
That's an amazing transformation! I never really broke the 200s consistently. I tried but my calorie intake just wouldn't support that next level drop. I'm still hopeful and keep fighting the good fight every day!
❤
Did you diet?
I did not except with the change in portion sizes and really trying hard to cut out snacking.
@@sij809 Portion control. I found out what my BMR is and factored in my walking for calories burned and went from there. There are a number of calculators available online that will point you in the right direction. My BMR is around 1550 calories per day. I currently walk around 5-miles per day. My current weight is where I want to be, so I eat around 2000 calories per day. That's the formula that works for me.
Thank you for posting this! It helps to inspire those of us who are trying to be healthier. I've lost 40 pounds since May of 2022. I walk 2 miles a day, either outside or on my treadmill. Working up to 3, but when I started, I could only walk for 10-15 minutes. Now I walk 45-50. I'm proud of myself! You should be, too! Keep it up!
That's an Awesome Story! Thank you for sharing it in the comments here. Any miles are better than no miles so good Work! Find the cadence that makes sense for you to keep motivated.
Omigosh, Cindy! Wonderful post and very inspiring! Thank you for sharing!
Great journey. I don’t know you but I’m proud of you!
I have to say my man, you look 10 years younger! I just started doing 20k steps per day a few weeks ago. I've dropped down from 14.5% bf down to 12.1% bf without even changing my diet. Makes it super easy to eat in a caloric deficit.
I appreciate those kind words.. 12% BF.. wow! I am still fighting the good fight to stay out of the 30% range. Good on you for such discipline. Really impressive!
@@vCloudInfo I was wrong. I was using a handheld bf scanner that i was measuring with. It was way off! I went to get a dexa scan. Im actually 23.4%. Geesh. I just finished by third week of 20k steps per day. Im down 10 pounds. Walking at eating a 500 cal caloric deficit.
23% is still awesome! I am right about 27.5 right now.. I've found as my WATER percentage goes up (currently 53%), the Fat percentage drops a bit more. Not sure if it's TOTALLY correlated but interesting none the less.
I try to walk everyday and get 10,000 steps. The best thing to help me are podcasts to listen to while walking; the time zips by when you are listening to something interesting. By the way, I am 67 years old and have been doing this for almost 10 years. If I can do it, so can you!
That's awesome! I do like listening to Lex friedman and the All In podcast. Long form so plenty of podcast to get those 10k steps in!
You rock ❤
Thank you for posting the video. I am about to turn 40 myself. I started my journey 2 months. I was 329lbs, I started walking. My friend connected to my trainer, who is also a nutritionist, and within two months of my lifestyle change, I am currently 295 lbs. Your video shows me if I continue to walk it will come off. Thank you again.
One step at a time. Celebrate the success you’ve accomplished already and keep moving forward. YOUR story motivates me. Thank you for sharing!
calories?
Great work. Picked up walking at the beginning of 2022. I was around 215 and just unhappy with how I looked and felt. I’m sitting at 170 now, and want to keep going. The Apple Watch has really helped me stick to walking trends. I try to walk 6-8 miles on the weekdays and at least 10 miles on the weekends.
Woah! That’s a lot of miles! Great work! I’m about to head out for a 3 mile walk right now. Keep inspiring with your comments Jack!
@@vCloudInfo walking is addicting! Enjoy that walk
You are inspiring. I agree with others that have stated that walking is addicting.
It’s a great type of addiction. Free and great for you. :)
That’s my goal weight 170. Did you change your diet?
You probably won’t see this but I actually grew up in the bear stone neighborhood, (2664) was our house haha the neighborhood looked super familiar at the beginning of the video. Started doing 1.5 hour walks everyday a few days ago. Congrats on the success :)
It's a pretty small world out there. Florida has some great places to walk. Keep up the progress! Best of luck!
45+ minutes EVERY DAY. Key factor to doing it every day is I can watch only when walking new Netflix shows. I can't wait to go walk just to see what's happening in the next episode. On my treadmill I use the Hill walk setting, it gets quite fast but good tempo right below jogging. Keep going!!
That’s a great way to motivate yourself! I do that also with PODCASTs. I love the ALL IN podcast a lot and LEX Friedman. What shows do you end up watching on your walk?
I have been walking for the past 2 months, I was 275 lbs. Started with 10K steps per day now doing 20K steps per day. Its tough. Lost 28 lbs. I am targeting below 200lbs. I also do a little bit of weight trainning everyday like 20 minutes. Also restricting by calories to 2000 per day.
That is amazing! Keep fighting the good fight! I got Under 200 just briefly. It was and is not easy for me but you are doing the right things to get there!
Low long did it take to lose 28 lbs ?
@@rdphotographyjm Around 2.5 months
Wow @hjgftcgcc ! That's a lot of progress.. Keep it up!
I love this video. I like it is simple and that you are a "normal dude" makes it feel attainable for everyone. Nothing fancy, go in and do the work, nice job staying consistent!
Thank you very much! I really appreciate the positivity.
At >120Kg I started walking three months ago. At first I had to walk with the aid of a medical walking stick and could hardly manage a single street block. Sticking to my walks, this improved and I could gradually increase the distance though I had intense pains in both legs, literally from my feet to above my hips, especially late at night. Progressively this has improved to where I can now manage 6 kilometres in a walk of an hour and a half and only "really need" the cane in the second half of my walk due to pain my legs. The swelling in my feet has greatly subsided (I jumped shoe sizes from 9 to 13 before walking) and my weight is down to 111Kg. The secret I found is to have rest days to allow your body to recover and to set attainable goals where it is more important to do a little consistently than a lot at once with the expectation of instant change. My biggest obstacle is the rapid drop of energy due to diabetes 2 when I exert myself - at first this was not an issue but is now a regular occurrence at around the 4Km mark.
Thank you for sharing your journey! Keep pushing to be better everyday a little at a time!
Well done. Stay hydrated. Also look at stretching videos for the down time. If you can stretch everyday.
Wow! You did good! And you have inspired me. I am so excited to read your story because I can recognise myself through some parts of it. thank you for posting and sharing.
Thank you all for the positive comments! Keep them coming!
It takes me 25-30 to walk a mile. But I do it.
That's one of the best ways to use those 30 minutes!
Nice!
This was an excellent video. Thank you for sharing your journey. I walk 10 miles daily and it was so hard at first, but now it's like breathing. Congrats on your weight loss.
Wow! 10 miles a day! Amazing! Thank you for sharing your experience!
Yes i agree thats a great distance, im aiming for that , I'll start with the letterbox, then work up to it...
Anything is always better than. I thing. And the only timetable is yours. Keep going!
Do you walk first thing? How did you embed this habit?
@@swhiting100 I started during the pandemic. I would get up around 4 and walk for a few hours before my little ones got up. It was hard at first, but I’ve been doing it ever since. As a mom, it’s become my ‘me time’. 🤓
Proud of you, Brother. Is tough to lose weight as you get older. Keep Grinding....
The Struggle is real! :) Appreciate the positive words! #respect
I appreciate encountering this honest and upfront post as I am currently on my own explorations in body composition transformation via walking. I have a manual treadmill under my standup desk so that that I may get in movement as I work throughout the day.
I use to be very active before the pandemic and then during the next 2 and some years became sedentary and noticed alterations in my overall well being.
Your video is a great motivator in trusting the process and maintaining consistency in.
Thank you for making this video and sharing it.
So glad to have helped! I took so much inspiration from other videos I had seen on UA-cam. I love the idea of the desk treadmill but not sure if I could do it with balance. I feel like I would fall. I do stand a lot at my desk and shift back and forth.
My desk is very no frills and similar to this one.

Truly inspirational. Walking at night and in the rain. WOW. Congratulations and thank you for sharing your journey
You are so welcome! Thank you for taking the time to drop a comment on the video..
Love this video dude! Humble and focused and inspirational! Keep it up!
Thank you so much Nick! I really appreciate the encouragement! It’s a marathon, not a sprint…
This is fantastic! ... and surprisingly inspiring. Thanks, Carlo.
Thanks so much JB! Very much appreciate the kind comments!
One of my goals is to make a great quality video like this, I love the techniques you use here; how very motivating. Health, yes great; I'm here now talking about how skilled you are at editing & presenting storytelling too! Great work!!
Thank you for the kind words. I got kind of lucky with this one as the story kind of told itself. I just needed to do the work. :) It could be a lot better but I'm happy that people find it enjoyable.
Love this man! Such an awesome achievement. And total inspiration.
Thank you for all the continued support Jeff! And with THAT video out of the way, hoping to actually make more HA videos. :) #HAStrong
congrats man!! health is the most important automation!
Thanks Ricardo! Had to counteract the lack of getting up to flip light switches! :)
Well done! I'm also doing the same thing this year. It's good to see such videos. They keep me going.
And these comments keep me going! Thank you for adding to the positivity!
Lost 80 lbs. in the same period of time. Just walking, but not miles, time; 1 hour a day to start, 5-6 weeks later twice a week, now 83 lbs. later, 3x a day. No sugar, no bread, no rice. I got a kick out of watching you suffer. I hate walking, but knew I have to. I'm 67. Haven't felt this good in over 30 yrs. I hate it & just want to get it over with. 👍
WOW! 80 is a BIG number. I'm really glad you enjoyed the video and I'm happy to hear your story! Keep up the good work!
@@vCloudInfo 👍🏃
If you hate it, maybe you need to change it up.
@RogueCylon - There is def some truth there. The best exercise is the exercise you do.
@@vCloudInfo 👍
Good job. I struggle with my weight too. I have been a lousy eater my whole life and it has caught up with me. When my son was born, I decided to make changes to be a good example and make sure he has me as long as possible.
Thanks for sharing!! And keep fighting the good fight! Today is better than yesterday and tomorrow is always another opportunity!
Thanks for sharing this story with us! I have just started walking and this video is inspiring!
I wish you the best on your journey! I'm also doing my walks again.. today was day 19.. So keep getting at it and let's both get to 100 days of walking again!
That’s impressive. Motivational. I know it’s been awhile since this video was posted but I hope you’re still keeping up with this wonderful lifestyle that has inspired me to get back to walking more as well. Bless up 🙏🏼
I am! I do allow myself to miss a day here and there since it's not for a video and is now part of my lifestyle and I allow for swaps.. biking instead of running or a session of basketball instead of a 3 mile walk.. things like that.. I try not to miss 2 days in a row.
@@vCloudInfo If you can share what is the current weight , just want to know if the weight didn't came back
Congrats buddy !! So proud of you !!
Thank you Marc! You were a critical part in this Journey! Love that you are now building a UA-cam channel to help others in their journey!
Great work, man. And very inspirational. Thank you

I’m really happy to hear that! Take it day by day and fight through the set backs. I’m in one now so your positive message helps me as well!
I like that you are an average guy and went and did it. Very relatable and inspiring!
Happy to share! Thanks for the positive comment!
Amazing progress and great video for inspiration.
Thank you so much for the encouragement! Means a lot!
You not only look thinner, you look a LOT HEALTHIER AND YOUNGER !
Yes. That was the most noticeable thing for me. The ABILITY to walk further and further.
Congratulations! Very inspiring!
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for posting this. You have really inspired me.
That’s wonderful! Comments like this inspiring me to keep going. Thank you!
Agreed! I like it and definitely gonna try to walk more...I remember doing this years ago andit worked 💪
Awesome! I’m actually in the middle of my second 100 day streak now. Day 64!
👏👏 well done!
I have been doing 12000 steps a day and find the biggest challenge is finding the two hours in the day to do it. It’s hard, especially on night-shift days…
Yes! finding the time is tough.. try breaking it up, maybe 6k in the morning and then 6k in the evening. When I had extra time (usually saturdays), I would push for more steps if I felt good. then if I didn't hit numbers during the week, I knew I had banked some on the weekends. One tip that helped me though - DON'T GET STUCK ON THE NUMBERS. The only number that mattered for me was doing SOMETHING daily. So if you only have 15 minutes to walk, walk it.. don't use the excuse that there is not enough time to get the full 10 or 12k. That mentality of DO SOMETHING helped me a lot.
Great results. I'm starting the challenge myself.
I love to hear that. You can send me daily progress to my Twitter account if you like! Just tag me! @CCostan
Thank for for sharing your story. Very inspiring and motivational. I truly thank you.

Thanks for sharing this video. Very recognizable and very inspiring at the same time. This video gave me a boost as I intend to start with my own journey next week !!! Greetings from a Melanesian living in the Netherlands. 🌞
You got this!
I lost around 4.5 kg in span of 1 month only by walking 10000 steps a day and low calorie diet...Walking is really helpful but totally depends on your diet
That's amazing! Great work! I agree, a lot of the hard work is done in the kitchen but the walking helped keep me motivated to do the hard work in the kitchen. Helped keep me accountable for the food decisions I had to make.
Thank you for the inspiration.
Thank you for the kind words!
Thanks for sharing. Just hit 48 years this year and I've been adding on about five or more extra pounds for the last few years. Hoping to just shed much of the extra and get more core strength over these summer months. I was a long time runner and even longer time distance walker. I can still plow through a mile in a 10 to 15 minute pace depending on hills and traffic stops, so it isn't a lot of time to log a few miles here and there. Clear the head and take in the neighborhoods.
Yeah.. I do love walking outside.. 10 to 15 is a great pace. I have to REALLY push hard to grab a 10.. I'm more comfortable in the 13 to 15 minute range. But as long as I move this mass 3 miles, I'm happy regardless of pace.
This is BRILLIANT!
Thank you for the encouragement!
Keep up the great work 👍🏼🙏
Thank you 🙌
Good job man, keep it up
Thank you very much!
Dude, I think ur video is extremely inspirational to those who want to lose the weight. Just like you, I am very inspired by other people’s u-tube videos of losing weight….my biggest issue is that I had 13- serious surgeries to name a few: 2- back fusions, another back surgery, upper an lower neuropathy, bi-lateral carpal tunnel, 1- neck fusion, 2- tennis elbow surgeries, 4- shoulder surgeries--2- L, 2- R. A right knee maniscus surgery….Etc. But YOU have inspired me. Now I just have to just, “Do It” and Push Forward. Thank you. That one word I could not spell correctly involving my knee, numerous other surgeries as well, about 99% of them were from work. So I am going to get after it, Plus, TRY to come up with Clean Eating Meals Per Day, along with Definitely upping my Protein intake!!!! Good luck and Thank You Again.👍
AMAZING! Love the positive attitude. I'm currently nursing a sprained ankle and am looking for other ways to stay active - For me, I am trying to lift on my weight machine (arms only). Point being, keep the positive attitude and keep looking for ways to burn calories and change the lifestyle. Go Get it!
I am software Engg. Started to gain weight and belly fat now started to walk 6 miles every day from past 2 days. I can feel healthy now. Long journey ahead.
That's EXCELLENT! 6 miles is a great milestone! Keep up the consistency and you WILL see results!
Good job. Keep it up. thanks for sharing !
Thanks for watching and sharing positivity! It's a hard process for all of us so thank you for the encouragement!
Congratulations on your weight loss.
Thank you so much!
Good for you Carlo. 👍🏻 Just keep moving. I am now 61 and get at least 10,000 steps a day.
That is awesome Ron! I've kind of transitioned to that mark now as well. I'm not so stringent on getting the 3 miles in a single clip but more of getting at least 10k steps a day throughout.
@@vCloudInfo It all helps Carlo. Way to go. 👍🏻

Thank you so much for leaving some positivity to the comment section! Very much appreciated!
@@vCloudInfo Did you change your diet at all? Or did you just record and watch your calories closely? I heard you mention my fitness pal
I did track my eating in MFP but not religiously and mainly retroactively. I did try to eat less and stopped snacking. Logging alone helped me stop snacking. But no really drastic changes.
Good to know. Im currently walking 2 miles a day. About 70 lbs overweight. Thanks for the reply!
Keep it up! The key for me was doing SOMETHING every day. You got this!
I walk 4 miles a day and I eat 2 meals a day and I play basketball until it’s time to go on my walk I weighed about 238 it’s my 3rd week and I’ve went down to 231 and I walk 7 days a week so hopefully I can go all the way through and lose about 50 pounds as well
That’s amazing! Keep trusting the process. I’m doing my second 100 days again. I’m on day 18 today. Hoping to push myself under 200 pounds. So happy to hear this is working for you so far!
Good job keep up the good work
Thanks - I keep fighting day in and day out. :) It's like a rubber band that you have to keep constant tension on.
Excellent work dude. Up to 7.8 miles for the past 13 weeks. Was averaging 5.5 or so for the 13 before that. Never really weighed myself, but am told I’ve lost weight. Feel better. Combined it with carnivore.
Nice work! That's the main ting.. how do you feel. That feeling becomes momentum and keeps you moving forward in the right direction. Each Saturday, I would do a LONG walk which put me into the 8 to 10 mile range. I called it Challenge Saturday.. It was a day that I had more time on my hands to do those longer walks.
Congratulations 🎊 you look fantastic!
🎉Thank you very much for the positive comment!
Thank you so much for this video. Very inspiring for this fellow ordinary guy👍👍
Appreciate the comment! Just trying my best to stay healthy.
Perseverance is the key. Never back down.
I need to read this every so often. It doesn't get easy, but if you can stick with it, it is so satisfying.
I started walking 10k steps daily with hill climbs and at 40 I’m at the same weight as when I was in the marine corps at 22
That's amazing! It's so helpfult o have a fitness background as well.. congrats on finding it again!
Switch to sugar free crayons
Very good video!!!!
Thank you very much. I continue to struggle to lose weight but I keep staying active. Consistency is the key for me.
Great job!!! Keep up the great work..my avg steps per day is 15k, plus I ride about 10 miles on my bike, I also do some light weights and push ups....been off Metformin for about 3 years.
That's probably the best reward of all! Congrats and continued success!
Yeah walking works like a charm. I walk 10K per day and lift weights twice per week. That routine melts the fat off pretty quickly. I do several 3K walks though, walking a lot at once feels pretty rough on my body.
Yeh..I've read that smaller walks throughout the day keep the metabolism up as well..rather than one big walk and then sitting the rest of the day.
Your faced changed completely..you look good ❤❤
Thanks for the nice words.
I am same age more or less (i am 46) , i am 5,7 tall and weight same , just a bit less than when you started . I walk pretty much same distance every single day last 45 days . I do it in the morning as i learned i have more energy and it makes me feel better . I have lost basically only 2 kg in these 45 days but it is how i FEEL that makes me think i found the right activity for me, and it also how i LOOK (i lost several centimeters around my waist , my face looks different etc ) . I read in the comments you gained some weight back, who cares, because i also read you feel great walking . I feel same, happier, more content, even self esteem went up . I love walking and if I will lose even 1 kg a month , well i am more than happy . Even my food intake has reduced significantly, and with no effort . Well done !
Thank you for the kind words. I have gained some of the weight again (about 20 pounds). I’m starting my walking routine again. Today is day 6. I’m going to do another 100 days straight of walking 3 miles a day. You are right, I feel great and I like walking. I’m looking forward to making a second video on this since a lot of people lose and gain it back. It’s a struggle and it happens to a lot of us but it’s never too late to try again and keep pushing! I’m so happy to hear about your success! Keep walking and I’ll see you at the finish line! :)
You also earn muscle which makes you weight more. You should look at what you see on the outside because fat isn't very heavy so 2 kg is a lot tho.
@@michellexx8355 thanks a lot ! I lost 7kgs total now in almost 3 months . Morning walk has become more energetic than before, my steps are faster, my speed is greater and so is my stamani . Always at empty stomach ! And my mood especially in the first half of the day is great . Walking does magic !
Agreed. I missed my walk today and I really felt off. The walk does a sort of mental reset during the day. (I like mid afternoon walks). Today I didn’t prioritize it and I felt like I was just dragging along the rest of the day. Tomorrow is a fresh start to di the right thing though.
I stopped using scales ,there to off putting, use your mirror, and visualize a slim firm body ,you will all get there ...
very useful, Thanks !
i ahve always been into light fitness. just not consistwnt. some months i walked. then gaps. then i did yoga then gaps... cycle and then long gaps of 3-4 months.... What hit a cord wiht me is your consistency. I am 52. so the age bracklet is also there. as many videos i see are of younger folks.. and its easier to knock weight off before 40. So defintely inspiring. Cna u give some insight ino the strngth training you did... i would like to add that to my routine. I am at 2.2 miles miles walk a day / 4k. need to push to 5k soon.
Hi Aarati, I agree that it’s a lot easier when you are younger. :). For strength, I started really small (just like the waking). I started with a few pushups each day (when I started I could barely do one so I did them against a wall, then on stairs, then on a bench and then on the floor eventually. I’m up to about 15 REALLY good form ones at a clip. Almost everything my first year was body weight exercises. Pushups, squats, lunges etc. I’ve recently started working with weights on a cable machine. I’ve just been trying to stay consistent and progress slowly. Keep consistent and I think you’ll do great!
Thank you for this
My pleasure! Thank you for the comment!
Thank you Normal Dude for the Video, thou i have one bad knee (meniscus) but i will try this. Thank YOU.
Appreciate the positive comment! Walking is pretty easy on the joints. I just took it slow and built up the strength to do more and more each day. Still fighting the good fight! I wish you the best on your journey! Consistency is key! Just do SOMETHING each day.
Change Identity..change the way you see yourself..key to lasting change
Yes.. THIS.. I even noticed that through the walking, I'd work on my posture and walk a little taller and it fundamentally changed how I and others viewed myself. Small Change but big effects.
Nice Tee Shirt collection!! 👍 💯
Thanks! 😃 You gotta have a good set of shirts if you are gonna do a montage! :)
I found it very useful thank you!
Glad to hear that! I hope your journey gets you where you want to go!
Awesome!❤
Thanks for the positivity!
Good stuff.
Thanks for the positive comment!
Thank you so much for your reply,I'm a bit disheartened today,I've walked 5 miles every day and eaten very healthy but today I weighed myself and I've not lost any weight ,I've lost a stone in 11 weeks so don't know why I haven't lost weight this week,just wondered if this is normal,you really inspire me to keep on walking,love Suzy.xx
I 100% percent had those 'stalls' as well. BUT I quickly learned that the scale number is not the only measure of progress. If I reflected and was honest with myself, I would remember the huge gains in energy, spirit, confidence, stamina etc.. My advice would be to look at ALL the things that are measurable and even subjective. Fighting for a number on the scale felt like a losing battle long term for me personally. It was just one measure that I could look at for progress but there were a lot of others that I could look too when that one didn't seem to cooperate. :)
Just walk. The body knows what to do.
It's a very true statement in the sense that there is rarely HARM added to you when you walk consistently. You might not notice but you are healthier than you were when you didn't walk.
Thanks for this. I happened to start the exact same strategy at the start of this year and was 241lbs and am now down to 215lbs, great to see what a difference it can make if I keep it up.
I love to hear that! Keep it up and best of luck on your journey!
Did ur thighs sag?
@@AbeerSharaf No, but I've been lucky that I never had too much additional weight on my legs, it seemed to have accumulated everywhere else. It is still working for me as I'm now down to 210lbs. I have also added a weekly 1 hour cycle ride and started swimming again this week.
@@seanbarnard7158 wonderful!
Thank you 🙏🏿
You are so welcome! Thanks for the comment!
I walk about 10 to 12km ( 6, 7 miles) a day. I lost 34 pounds so far in 9 months. I sleep better, feel better, have more energy, waaay less back pain and the pain in my right knee is gone.
I always stretch first. I pick up pace in about 5 min. I was breathing like crazy at first but after a week I learned how to control my breath which gave and still gives me even more energy during my walks.
Wishing everyone who's starting this journey all the best. It's a game changer I'm telling you!
It's very counter intuitive to think that knee and back pain will go away but I have experienced that same result. I think it's the increased blood flow that helps keep everything loose and repaired. Great work on the 34 Pounds!
@@vCloudInfo Yep, I have some osteoarthritis and years ago a PT told me that movement keeps joints lubricated. The more you sit, the stiffer you get! (as long as you don't have an injury, of course)
@@leapintothewild great advice!
Love that idea to walk for a 100 days Congrats on your weight loss
A 5K for a 100 days. :) It had such a good ring to it. :)
0:58 Just your face looks so much healthier.
Great 😊 job.
Yeah.. documenting the journey really helped me 'see' the changes. - Thank you for the positive comment!
Walking 30 miles a week 4x7.5 sessions a week,been doing it for 6 weeks now ,feeling better as I'd put alot of weight on .
That's Great! Keep going to see some amazing life changing results!
I've been walking for one week straight. I have just started but in only one week I feel great! I've also cut carbs.
Awesome! Keep up the good work!
Thank you . U inspired me
I'm so glad! Thank you for the positive comment!
00:43 I think you just said the MOST important words: even though our brain or body don't want us to move, we have just to START and things will get better.....
it really IS tough to get your brain waves going in the right direction. :) One step at a time though..
good for you :)
Thanks!
I used to run alot and took a 4 month break, and now it's hard for me to gain momentum again. Decided to walk instead 😅and I'm loving it, aiming to lose at least 1kg 0.5lb a month so i can keep it off long term, instead of quick results that don't last long and are hard to maintain.
Thanks for sharing!! Find the thing that you can do.. The best exercise is the one that you do.
