How much walking do you do?

[Brownslave688]

Very true, but sticking to it's the hard part. It's real easy to join a gym...but dragging yourself there twice a week takes determination...lol. Few summers ago, they hired this new guy...he was easily 350 lbs..had him loading trucks. He lasted maybe 2 hours...lol

Two times a week isn't gonna do much for u.

I'm one of them

You must deliver in a rough neighborhood if you have to carry an AR-15 with you!

I wouldn't know...I don't have a gym membership.

Nothing against Scratch or Toonertoo but I miss Moderator Ovah...he was great! lol

I miss him bunches. But I still get to chat with him. I have him on speed dial.

... and you're in the Concrete Jungle / Imagine what some of us super rural guys do

When I cover a super rural route I do less walking. Those routes have 500s and I drive up almost every driveway. I do most of my walking when I do a route that starts commercial then finishes rural because you can't take a 1200 up most driveways.

That store is kinda near a sketchy part of town, actually, but I won that last December in a Photography contest lol

It just happens to be the most recent photo of me in browns.

Maybe a real expensive one would be accurate but my experience with cheaper pedometers is that they aren't accurate at all. Just the normal bouncing around in a package car would add up as steps. Try wearing one for an exact measured mile while walking and see what it comes up with.

A lot. Just going to the restroom and back using the official route is 314 yards,

Actually I am looking forward to walking more driveways. The last few years have been an excercise in pain while walking.

My super rural is in an Iron Maiden 800 / There are overgrown lanes with a tunnel that exactly matches my truck.

My new ghetto route has one of those. sigh

I assume by "pushing" you aren't talking about a bench press of 350

I get a lot of "Hey big fella" and "Big dude" and "Whoa there Big Man" type stuff...

If I know the customer good enough, I ask "Is that a fat joke?"

I dunno, psychological I guess lol

I counted steps one time while doing nothing but apartment complexes. Climbed the equivalent of the Empire State Building 1.5 times.

 

[joeboodog]

I'm a big guy and weight has always been a lifelong problem with me. It always cracks me up when slim people say "all you need to lose weight is....." If it were only that easy. That is like a non -smoker telling a smoker how easy it is to quit.

I somewhat disagree. I too am a big guy but it can really be that easy. It's all about how bad you want it. Saying it's not that easy is just an excuse. A few years ago when I was 270 I said no more. Hit the treadmill and the gym and lost 45 pounds (in 3 months) and eventually ran a Tough Mudder my first half marathon. So yeah, "all you need to lose weight is...." a little desire and determination.
