I lost 60 pounds in 5 months without using GLP-1.

Were you on crutches?

6 miles is less than an hour of jogging at an easy pace.

Walking 6 miles shouldn’t take more than 2 hours, maybe 2.5 hours if you’re walking really slow.

Thank you, OP, for this. I just tried ChatGPT for calories. I never thought to do so before. I used one of those cumbersome apps.
During the summer of 202, during covid, I walked a ton, it was great, around 18K steps per day, I could eat whatever and gain nothing. Now I live in a super-hot climate, I am prone to skin cancer, have had a few spots already removed, and can't walk outside. I do exercise, but there is no way I can fit 30k steps in my day, otherwise that would be the best exercise ever.

Thing about a GLP is it helps you eat normally.

OP’s 700 daily calories and 30k steps isn’t normal. Or sustainable.

I disagree with this...it's disordered eating IMO.

OP here - I walked a ton around the home while listening to music and talking on the phone (business and personal). I WFH so that makes it easier. My walking actually began because I had insomnia and was listening to music for hours during night while walking around the home. It didn’t even occurto me to look at the steps for like two weeks or so, then I looked at it and realized I was logging around 15k every night so then I started paying attention to it and building it up… i was almost two months into it when 30k steps crystallized as a goal in my mind though I already had many 30k+ days by then.

I don’t believe OP walked 30k per day.


Anybody can say anything on here without vetting

OP here. I am not recommending this to anyone, but as for myself, I am far from frail, I feel and look great, my labs are fantastic and I am looking forward to my walks every day. I am no more completely invisible and I just fit comfortably into my size 28 jeans that I haven't worn in 15 years. I can suddenly climb many stairs and steep hills easily where I used to struggle with a floor or two.

I experienced exactly zero pain over the past 5 months. I was always good at walking, could walk long distances where people who were much more fit would complain - I just wasn't doing it enough and consistently. When I reach my goal weight I plan to maintain at least 20k steps, though to be honest, on days when I only do that much (e.g. travel etc), I feel like I want to walk more.

You are not walking "30,000" steps a day.

Absolutely possible!! I do it all the time. Walk with intention in the morning.. desk job during the day but up for walk breaks occasionally... evening walk after dinner. At least 30k steps a day. And no it did not take me 4 hours.

OP here. how long have you been doing it? so many people think it's impossible but actually have nurmous 40k days and some 50k... that's when I really have some free time.

I would get the shakes if I did that.

But I've lost quite a bit with keto friendly dieting (non processed meats and lots of vegetables only).

is it possible to upload photos? I would love do show you a few screenshots. today I walked 26k and barely noticed. I also walked 20 minutes on 18% incline and had an hour of strength training with my trainer. I understand your disbelief, sometimes I can't believe this happened to me, either, but yeah, I was over 200 lbs less than 8 months ago.

Anything is possible when you lie. To get 30k steps you would literally be walking the entire day-like without stopping. I have gotten to around 20k before but that was Disney or days when I had been walking around for whatever reason for 4+ hours. Who has 6+ hours in a day to walk on a regular basis?

Please stop engaging with this thread. OP is either very sick or a troll.

That's literally not true. Google it. And try to walk more!

Do you have a job? Kids? Walking 30k steps a day takes hours. If so how do you fit it in?

[Anonymous]

I have a coworker who uses a treadmill desk, posts all her walks on strava, and regularly walks nearly the whole day at work. Yesterday she logged 7.5 hours of walking and 34k steps. So yeah, 30k per day is possible but who wants (or has time) to walk 7 hours per day?
