I've been overweight for most of my life. I graduated highschool in 2012 at 364 pounds. I've steadily creeped up over the years and I really don't know what my highest was but it's safe to assume that it was over 450 pounds. Walking is my escape, it's my way to get out, it's something I can control. It's my favorite way to burn extra calories as I've never fallen in love with weight lifting even though countless of people have suggested it's the better way to lose weight than cardio.
My goal for the year is to do over 1000 miles this year and I'm off to a good start with that.
I walk 4 miles a day Monday through Friday and whatever I feel like on the weekends. I had to do 10 miles these last two days to reach it.

In 2016-17 I lost about 60 pounds by walking a ton and eating better. 2018 was very difficult for me in all aspects of life and needless to say I stopped exercising and gained all my weight back and then some. Going into this year I said enough was enough and that regardless of how I felt or how things are you're going to take care of yourself for once.
I started the new years around 442 pounds and now I'm at 427 pounds. Counting my calories, and walking is all I've done. I use a Fitbit zip that clips on my shorts and it tracks my steps and distance for the day. I use the Fitbit app to count my calories as I don't really trust MFP any longer.
Can't wait to keep it going all year long and to put the focus on myself for once. I know that if I stay consistent with this that only good things can come of it.
