My starting weight was 205lbs mid November (male, 5'10"). I just checked my weight now and I'm at 191lbs by giving up alcohol, cutting back on sweets, and trying to do smaller portion sizes - although I haven't been weighing out food or using any calorie tracking app, and am probably still eating too much chocolate. I'm definitely happier, but would love to get into the 170-180lb range by mid March.
I was playing around with some calorie calculators this morning and for someone that's 191lbs, walking 3.2mph at a 1% incline (an easy walk), for 90 minutes, burns almost 600 calories! I was shocked to see how many calories are burned. And I find walking to be pleasant, I can listen to podcasts, watch YouTube videos or Netflix if I'm on the treadmill, and never feel pain afterwards. Last week I jogged 2 miles, was winded, hurt like hell for several days afterwards, my left knee still feels iffy, and I calculated only 250 calories burned. Worst part is I got a massive hunger attack that night and probably ate way more than 250 calories. I don't ever recall getting a "starving sensation" after a long hike.
So I've set my alarm an hour earlier starting tomorrow to try to walk 60 minute every morning, either outside or on our treadmill, and 30 minutes in the evening. Hopefully I can get to my target goal.
Does anyone have any tips, suggestions, or success stories?
