I started a new job back in November (mail carrier) and I average about 5 miles a day walking. Since starting that job, I have lost almost 40 pounds. I never imagined that walking would help me out that much! I am not even dieting yet!!!! I am starting a diet next week to keep my weightloss going. It's just unreal to me to think that 3 months ago I had 90 pounds to lose, now I have 50 to lose.........thanks to walking!!!

Just thought I would share my little story on how walking is helping me! Best of luck to all of us who are trying to lose all of our excess weight.

That's great, congrats! Walking is how I get most of my cardio too. I do around 4.5-4.6 on the treadmill and recently I have just started jogging. I start off walking, do an extra mile jogging and finish it off walking. Usually do about 40 minutes to an hour straight.
