I started walking June 1st,I weighed 211lbs,as of today,Aug 18, I weigh 185.I also quit soft drinks,drank water and only eat once a day incorporating vegetables, few carbs and lean meat.I feel so much better.I never thought walking could become beneficial!

Yep! I walked 10 to 12 miles a day, cut out sugar, drank 64 oz of water a day, ate turkey and ham sandwiches, oatmeal for breakfast, almonds, fruits and vegetables daily. I lost 30lbs in a month!

i walked 10 miles a day for a week, now I'm 70 miles from home!

Best way to add weight to your walk is to build it up slowly. When you’ve lost 5lbs just walking, start carrying 5lbs and keep adding weight in the same way as you lose it. You’ll get the benefit of the extra weight plus slowly strengthening your body to handle the extra weight you are carrying. If you lose 100lbs, you’ll be strong AF, fit and heathy :)

I was a very lazy ass.. if I can do it anyone can do it....I was 120 KG and just by walking 8 km daily in 1 hour 20 min I have lost 30 KG weight in 4 Months. Also My hunger is suppressed, I eat 40% proteins 40% Fibrous carbs and just 20% starchy carbs.. it's tough to control in the beginning for 3 weeks but you will be motivated by seeing results for sure and it will become a part of your lifestyle. Still Doing it..... All the best for your Future...

I lost 86 pounds in 7 months ... walking and exercise with intermittent fasting

This made a huge beneficial difference for me-I lost 3 lbs in a week with the changes you suggest. Thank you!

Walking is "the best" exercise for me. Most productive. Cost nothing. I pray as I walk......

I lost 50lbs taking the vest off :)

I just lost 50lb “working out” this equation

Awesome tip, i started walink 5k every day but without weight or incline. Now will try thank you very much. May Allah bless you.

Walking is a great way to lose weight, work on cardio and build leg strength. Adding weight increases the effectiveness of the time you spend walking but one must be careful not to add so much weight as to over stress joints, ligaments and muscles. I wear a backpack that is about 15 pounds of weight, that's 2 gallons of water plus the weight of the backpack. As you lose body weight, you can add the weight back into the backpack to keep a consistent workout but not over stress your body. I also use trekking poles to work my arms and shoulders. Trekking poles can help you burn UP TO 30% more calories. I'm going to start wearing ankle weights during my daily routine (at work) but not during my walking...the weighted backpack is enough.

Yeah, good points.

I have a Rogue vest with two 10 lb weight inserts, one for the front and one for the back. Going from no extra weight to 10 in either the front or the back pouch introduces two different types of stresses on my body, and going the full 20 can be a real challenge - I feel it in my hips (note- I walk at a pretty good clip - I cover 2.75 miles in about 45 minutes). Anyone that adds weights to their torso should carefully consider adding extra weight slowly, and doing it in a balanced fashion. If you have any type of gait abnormality I honestly think you should consult a physical therapist who specializes in conditioning and strength training. Just my $0.02....
