walkrun2016•

Hi , just joined as like so many of you ,

I'm looking to do the 30min a day walk along with healthy eating , my main thing needs to be exercise as my diet isn't to bad it just I more or less went from walking 1.5 mile 5days to nothing due to now working from home so in 3yrs I've piled weight on , health issues have developed so need to shift the weight to clear these up ,

Good luck everyone hope to give and receive encouragement where possible .

Hi walkrun2016 and welcome to the forum. Walking is a great way to kick start your weight loss as well as making healthy food choices. I began over a year ago walking 30 mins every day in the first week and it got me off to a very good start.

Wishing you a very successful journey in 2016 you can do it!
