I have been walking for the last 6-years. I’ve lost 325-lbs I’m at around 295 now. I still have about 40-lbs to go. I started (1-year ago) to do Queen Ann Hill it takes 8-mins to do now not the 35-40 mins when I started. I do this 2-times a week. Most times I just walk to pike place market and back home its 2-miles. Now I tell you this so that you too can do this. It just take time and you must find a really good pair of walking shoes. You must make time to do this daily. You must start out very slow that’s right SLOW and work your way up to what ever time you want. I has taken me over 6-years to get up to more than hour of hard walking. I just didn’t go I can do this and start out walking for 40-mins. I started at 10-mins than 20-mins up to 40 mins every other day for 3-years before I could do 45-mins to 1-hours a day one in the morning and one in the afternoon and 1 in the evening. I hope that you have fun doing this. I do.
