to the team! And no matter how much we have to lose, it usually seems like 'a lot' - 100 lbs, 50 lbs, 20 lbs or whatever - so don't think of it as 'losing 100 lbs,' think of it as losing 1 lb - and repeat that goal until you feel like you don't need to lose any more. Makes it a lot easier, IMO!

Welcome. This is a great way to be more active. Start at a comfortable pace and amount of time. I wear a pedometer all the time because the total number of steps over the day is the goal although I do try to get at least half that number in a good walk or two that gets my heart rate up and my legs moving.
Compare your walks to your previous walks and do not worry about whether or not you are "up to speed" especially in the beginning. You can challenge yourself and build speed and stamina and then set goals to reach speed and distance.

I am a 46 year old with the need to move my feet, lose 100 pounds or more. I need the encouragement to see this journey through for my health.
