Was fifty pounds overweight, and felt awful. While browsing you tube, I found the Leslie Sansome Walk at Home videos. Started with a mile each day, working up to three miles each day six days a week taking Sundays off as rest. Takes less than a hour to do. Lost seventeen pounds the first month, with a total of 52 pounds in six months. The exercise felt great and actually curbed my appetite so when I eat I don't eat as much and feel full quicker. A few of my friends are on Ozempic and haven't even come close to my results. One friend quit the drug and did the videos instead and lost twenty more pounds. My cardiologist was extremely happy, my blood pressure returned to normal and so did my cholesterol. It didn't cost a thing except for The View losing me as a viewer to do exercise videos (no more unproductive gossip shows even quitting that made things better). This video is an inspiration.
Thank you for your reply! I wish you the best of success with the videos, they are wonderful. So many great videos here to exercise to. You will be amazed on the results :) @@bananza1310
I've been trying to lose 50 pounds for the longest! If it takes me a year, I'll consider that great timing, so the fact that you did it in 9 months is admirable! I'm definitely going to be incorporating more walking now!
While I’m not on a diet I started making better healthier decisions of what I eat and walking for 30 mins a day. I noticed a difference in less than a month. My pants feel looser and my belly is not as bloated. UPDATE: I lost 14 lbs in two months and my Triglycerides went from 519 to 131. My overal cholesterol went from 264 to 191.
He lost that much with only 3-4 miles of walking daily? You keep hearing 10k, 15k, 20k steps a day. Sure it's faster but the chances are one doesn't stick to it. The best weight loss plan is the one you can stick to consecutively. This guy is truly an inspiration and motivation and he seem friendly too :D
If you segment it per day 3-4 miles seems fair. At walking pace depending on speed you could do it 90-120 minutes. He weighed 400+ at some point. As we get older our scale of time seemingly diminishes. Daily dedication over a year will definitely show results. If you account for everything else that happens in daily life I’d say it’s serious about the commitment.
@@jenniferroe297 Exactly! I'm not ashamed to say that I'm close to his beginner weight at 170kg. Let me tell you from experience that walking isn't that easy but slow. Life is not easy and you can't pursue the things you really want to do physical wise like Taekwondo for example. I bet I'm judged alot aswell (not that I care) because we are first and foremost visual creatures and people always make assessments based on what they see. Of course not all 😛
I’m thrilled for him. I hope he continues to walk for the rest of his life. Years ago I was over 300 pounds. During the pandemic, I decided to make major lifestyle changes. I too started to walk. My first walk was to the community mailbox area and back. I was out of breath. I decided to continue. I have lost over 100 pounds. I walk almost every day. I love it. I recommend walking for everybody.
bahahahha i laughed so hard:)))))) he such a cool guy!!! im happy for him!! I hope he continued the walking...I just started one week ago..doing a 2h walk every day...I feel great!! I think im on my way to finally loose the lil pouch I had for yearsss
Started walking about 2 months ago. Started with 2km a day, now up to 4-5km (3 miles) a day. I've lost 12kg (26 lbs) so far and already feel a lot better. Been eating healthier too, of course.
I have hypo thyroid, I have hired trainers and I can’t lose weight. Recently I bought a dog I take him on walks one day I weight myself and I lost 10lbs.
110 pounds is 350.000 kcal or 960 kcal a day. A 40 year old man at 403 pounds walking at a moderate pace for an hour burns about 650 kcal. As he lost weight and started with less, let's go with him burning 4-500 a day on average over a year. In other words, half from walking, half from diet. A single can of soda equals walking 1.5 miles at a brisk pace, so cutting just one or 2 a day is a significant contribution.
Anytime you move, you burn a calorie. Eating less and making healthier food choices is the most important factor in weight loss, but walking requires energy, and energy requires calories. The more you move, the more your body has to burn calories in order to create that necessary energy. It definitely helps.
I echo the sentiments here. I try to walk five miles every morning (except if the weather is severe) and I can say that it works. 5 years ago, I weighed 199 lbs, my triglycerides were about 1,417, my cholesterol was around 280 and my blood sugar was over 100. At my last yearly medical check, I weighed around 160 pounds, my triglycerides were around 130 and my blood sugar was 84. Walking works wonders. Yes, I’ve fallen off the wagon a few times, but what’s important is that you get back on it. Don’t give up. I believe things like diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol could become a thing of the past if people would just exercise daily and eat healthy. We can do this! In the past 2.5 years, I have walked over 1,300 miles and counting. It really does work!
I'm 285 and 6f3i. I don't even want to go to the mailbox. I've done 7 miles at disney today by 7.30p. I can't imagine what it takes for these people to do this.
walking makes a huge difference!! my mom all last year used to walk every morning or every night(depending on the day.). n she would lose sm!! n she didn’t even diet either!!. now im doing this n feel great!!:).
I was 50 lbs overweight. I walked 25 miles/week for 3 months and I lost exactly 2 pounds. The walking made me hungrier, so I ate a little more. I felt better overall, but lost my motivation after seeing I wasn't losing weight.
Thank you so much for this very encouraging story as I am walking on my treadmill, looking up success stories to keep me motivated this my man has been the one that I needed to keep going ❤ God Bless you
Jack, congratulations. Although this is a few years after the fact I hopevyou reached your goal, snd as importantly, kept it up and are still keeping it up. It's worth it.
This man inspired me i have just started using walking for weight loss helped my sleep above all and its not just a goal weight i plan to have an all around healthy lifestyle other than eating hot Cheetos
A great hack is to do 10-20K steps over the whole day vs doing fewer long walks. Shorter more frequent walks are easier to fit in and it all averages out the same. Overall though, people really do underestimate how effective walking truly is. They figure it's too basic/easy on paper. But when you burn 500-600 calories for every 10K steps and that's daily? It adds up.
I'm lost in this content. I read a book with similar content, and I was completely lost in its world. "Reclaiming Connection: The Journey of a Digital Detox" by Joshua Ember
@@misspretty2861 broke up with mountain dew but not coffee… that’s going to be a rough patch to get through but I am 60 lbs down from literally walking. I don’t run at all.
What if your on the skinny side? Would this help me builld muscle or what exactly if i do every morning. I dont want to gain weight im to skinny but want musle
He is such an inspiration. I need to lose at least 20 Kilogramm myself and since I was born with a very bad Heart defect i am not allowed to do sports that much. But I asked my doctor and he said walking is okay. I already started but it is very hard to find a daily routine. But when I look into my mirrow...I must keep going and I WILL!
So should you. You see how his focus was completely on himself and not not telling other people what they should be doing. There is a lesson in everything.
@@chaliflare9669maybe you should learn the lesson that not accepting people's bs such as healthy at any size is good....if that bothers you...great, I hope it does
