    Thanks skinnygal

    You're welcome :smile:

    Also, I find that my knees get more sore when walking on a treadmill than when I walk around the basketball court at a park (I do that when I want to walk on level ground). It may just be me and not the treadmill at all, but if you walk outdoors (especially on level ground) you might find it easier to do and more enjoyable than walking on a treadmill. Getting fresh air is also a bonus! And you could even hold onto some light weights or use ankle weights if you're up to it. Those will help you burn more calories and build some muscle. And always listen to your favorite music while walking because it helps to keep you motivated and your energy level up (or maybe that's just me, but it works for me lol).

    The treadmill is a bore - GET OUTSIDE AND WALK!

    I'm the same height, and was the same weight as you back in January. Just sticking to my calorie count (and I still cheat a little from time to time) and walking religiously has lead me to lose 35 pounds so far. Set a goal. I use MapMyWalk and set a goal each month. I started with 50 miles. It sounds like a lot but you'd be surprised how quickly those miles add up. In April I walked 100 miles! Rain or cold doesn't stop me. I get out every day. Once you start, and stick to it, you'll see how wonderful walking can be!

    I'm a walker too! I walk about 30 minutes in my neighborhood everyday. It's been fantastic to see myself get faster. On my days off I go to a local hiking trail and do about and hour. I've lost about 10lbs and have been on mfp about 5-6 weeks. It gets easier. And now I get cranky if I don't go for a walk. Feel free to add me:)
