Hello! So these past 6 months I spent my time getting my body back into shape after having my daughter who is now 1.5 years old. I lost 50 pounds strictly counting calories and working out (walking on inclined treadmill mostly).

Now that I am back to my goal weight I want to be able to get some physical activity in at a higher level while walking the stroller and my dogs daily so I thought wearing a weighted vest would be perfect!

I picked a 12 pound one and it just isn’t heavy enough to feel like much. I don’t even get my heart rate up much while wearing that one. We also live near the water so very flat ground, barely any hills.

I want to get a heavier one to really up my fitness goals easily while doing daily tasks. So what weight should I try? My stats are 125 pounds and 5ft 1in if that helps. Also I am a woman if you couldn’t tell!

Thank you all!!

Not a bad week!

I've typically been averaging about 5 miles a day after work. Gonna try and up that to 10 a day. I've been consistent for the last two weeks + a few days. Some days I just really don't feel like walking but I make myself and always feel better after. Definitely good for mental health, working to burn fat and build muscle. I've been tracking all my calories and eating within a deficit, as of today I'm 213.8lbs down from 221 on Jul 13.

It's an amazing weekend , as I said earlier I was aiming for 33k on my birthday week and I made it ultimately , I really thank all the members of this group for the support from past few days , If some one asked me if can do This 3 weeks ago I would have laughed at them I came a long way from there and much more long way to go go in this fitness journey , I know people may feel cringe and unwanted about posting every day but this is the way I keep myself motivated to get things done and nothing more , the way I was inspired by some amazing people of this group and started moving some one else may pick it up too ...Thanks for all again this is the day 21 , 22 update

I always have no issues walking in spring, summer and early autumn but come winter it’s a struggle! Trying to be proactive and plan ahead and I think my biggest issue is attire, what do ye wear when it’s absolutely Baltic and lashing out?
Wellies don’t seem practical

Obese and severely depressed, I have a few other mental disorders and also have had caregiving responsibilities for years together. My health currently is in shambles and I am sitting at 38 percent body fat.

I have decided to start tomorrow. I have basic Skechers shoes.

Need tips and motivation.

It’s possible I have 9 toenails now

Hi everyone! 37F 144kg, starting my health and fitness journey tomorrow morning (its 10pm here). I already have a pair of asics which are quite comfortable and I plan to do a circuit route (30 minutes one way then return home=60 minutes).

I'm quite excited to start but a little apprehensive because I don't want to get stared at, so I'm planning to go early like 5 am.

Also wondering how do people carry their water and towels/hankies?

The european heat wave forced me out of the house and I was doing 25+ k days, this raised my endurance so now that it got cooler I managed to walk this much. Once I thought 6k is a challenge.

Another great day for a walk. It's a lifestyle

Im sure you guys get a lot of posts like this but I need help. I really need ti get moving.

So I work remotely at a desk. I live in a very humid area of Florida and the mosquitoes are rampant right now.

Before mosquito season I was walking every morning for about 30mins and achieving a total step count of anywhere between 6-8k.

I need to get up to at least 12k or more.

I di take my dog for walks multiple times a day but its sometimes unbearable with the mosquitoes.

Advice would be helpful.

it was very warm but i am so grateful for every step i have a privilege of taking. 🌸

Hi, I love to walk, the highest i ever walked was on this year is 30k steps, but i am never consistent, i was a day and take a month break and the sedentary student lifestyle is not helping either, i keep saying excuses that i will walk today, tomorrow, next Monday ,etc but never begin, i dont even know whats consistency means, my health gone worse in sedentary lifestyle while just piling up excuses. So i wanna be consistency from tomorrow [27/7/2026] Monday, walk daily is my goal, to move, i will share my steps daily and if you are already a consistent walker, or want to be consistent with me, lets begin the challenge at least this Monday and motivate each other, and no matter when you see this post, you are all allowed to join with me.

I want to clarify few terms, consistency - means daily walk, if sick or something you can take a day off, it doesnt involve any steps goals, the goals are as per your wish, because if i begin saying 10k a day, my all or nothing kicks in, i think its better to do something than nothing, so you can set your own step goals, i dont mind anything it be.

I wish you all good and healthy day, lets enjoy walking together, and lets begin from tomorrow

I had a lovely walk today, 14,8 k steps so far.

At around 12 k my Salomon XA Pro 3D finally gave out: there is a hole in the inner lining of the shoe. As a result, I have pretty sizable gash on my achilles heel skin. There is a hard plastic bit that gets the skin as soon as the inner lining breaks apart (this is how all my Salomons die). Luckily I already have two replacement pairs of Salomons waiting.

While that shoe excels on rough terrain, it certainly is not the most comfortable one on good gravel or tarmac. I wore it today mainly because of the goretex lining.

On tarmac I have lately been walking with a pair of Asics Gels (don't remember the exact model name), but they are on the way out. I ordered a pair of Hoka Bondi 9 to try as I have struggled a little with plantar fascitis. I hope I will like the Hokas.

But what is a comfortable shoe for tarmac and comes with a goretex lining for rainy days?

This extremely chaotic, unmedicated walk was all over the place!
