    Want to lose weight? Get out & walk! I do : )

    So about 4 months ago I weighed 298.7lbs....which was the most I have ever weighed. I got REAL close to that morbidly obese 300.

    I decided right then I was going to do something about it. I put it off for another 1 & 1/2 months but it was "set in stone" in my mind. I also decided to stop any recreational drug/booze usage as well. (i know, it sucks). And i take a multi-vitamin every day.

    So about 2 months ago, I got up one morning & decided I was going to walk. I didn't want to walk around my neighborhood & a "tread mill" sounded too much like masturbation to me. It was 100 degree's outside every day.

    One of my buddies mentioned the mall. What a great suggestion. So from that day on, every single morning I wake up (cept for 1 day a week) I go & walk around 3-5miles at the mall. And i try to cut down the amount of food i eat. But i wouldn't say I am "dieting" at all. Just cutting out a little bit at a time.

    As of today (60 days later) I am down to 248.6lbs. And losing about 1lb a day as of right now. Once i hit 210lbs (I'm going to hit the gym) to firm up. And I'll post here on gfy one last time to announce my victory over laziness & obesity.

    Please post any suggestions as to how I could improve my little "system'.

      You lost 50 lbs in 2 months by just walking 3 to 5 miles per day?
      How long do those walks last?

          Great job pr0! After dropping 60 lbs over three years ago I've put 30 of it back on. I'm slowly losing it again by doing a 30 min ride on a exercise bike we have and cutting back on what I eat. Also go for walks with the dog and wife when she gets home from work which is working good. I just need to watch out on weekends when I tailgate and go out.

              Green tea extract is supposed to work pretty decently from what I've heard from my body-building friend. Sounds like you're having some pretty good results, so whatever you're doing works just fine...

                      Sometimes it goes by faster than others. For the first month at the end i would be "hurting" pretty bad & sweating profusely. As of this week, i barely break a sweat & feel like a million bucks. I would say around an hour every day, total.

                      Next I've got to quit the cigarettes

                      I might also need a slimmer pirate avatar soon.

                              Congrats man.. 50lbs is very noticeable. I decided with a job like this you've gotta do some exercise. I find myself more productive when I do as a plus... little natural endorphin rush.

                              I ended up walking into 24hr fitness about a year ago and started up with a trainer - 3x a week with him and after a year I've seen nice results. Sure I blow a few hundo a month, but it forces my ass to do it - no 2-3 month lulls. My biggest suggestion would be to make sure your diet is clean, or at least pretty clean... you'll see huge improvements. I have to force myself to eat breakfast every morning (banana, cereal) and small meals throughout the day. It really boosts the metabolism big time. I also cut out soda except for a few times a week with dinner or whatnot. Lots of unneeded calories suckin down the cola while sitting here.

                              Cheers to 210

                                  Great stuff. Add some light weight training now before your cardio why wait?

                                          About to hit the gym...

                                          I hate the treadmill and running. Now i dont care at all abotu walking around town or whatever, I even love riding my bike. Which I need to pick up again. Especially now that Im closer to the Park where the "strand" runs through. It actually goes through 4 towns... a 30 mile stretch. I think the most Ive done at one time was 8-10 miles just on the strand.

                                          GOd forbid hitting the end town

                                          Anyway I guess all im trying to say is Im right there with ya buddy. Right now im at your current weight. but its what Ive really been since high school.

                                          Id like to slim it down a smidge. NOthing huge. Just baby fat

                                              Good call, you can just put those on your ankles and walk around the house or do leg lifts under your desk.

                                              And the masturbating with the wrist ones on ... that's a workout!

                                                  I don't like the "shape" of my body right now & the last thing I want to do is firm any of it up.

                                                  Plus I will feel more comfortable about putting "strain" on my body once my cardio/heart is in better shape. I have not exercised in literally 10 years. (since i got into this business).

                                                  So I am scared to do any strength training or really get my heart rate up, until i can take off enough weight to lower the strain on my heart.

                                                  Of course I am not a doctor, nor has any health professional told me that. I think its just common sense to me in a way though.

                                                          Nice work! Personally I would be shooting myself in the head if I spent more than a few minutes in a mall per YEAR. But whatever works, stick with it.

                                                          Recommendations to amp it up:
                                                          -try to get rid of high fructose corn syrup and liquid sugars. That means sodas and juices and a hell of a lot of shit you wouldn't expect
                                                          -eat more fiber from natural stuff. (veggies and fruits)
                                                          -eat a small healthy breakfast as early in the day as possible to get your metabolism active as soon as you can in the day
                                                          -don't eat anything heavy or carby late at night
                                                          -as soon as you can start lifting weights, focusing on large muscle groups... that will increase your burn rate and help everything drastically. Keeps working long after you finish the workout.

                                                          Good luck!
