Nobody in great shape got there or stays there by walking a little each day.

Excuse me? I'm 5' 10" and have weighed about 135-137 all my adult life. Walking 3 to 4 mikes every day may not put you in the greatest shape (I used to work out at Crossfit) but it can sure keep the pounds off.

3-4 miles per day is not "walking a little each day". That's a LOT of walking. To put that in perspective for you, that would take me, someone 5'4", at least three hours.

No it won’t. It takes me 35 minutes to walk 1.75 miles. I do this loop twice a day. That’s a total of 70 minutes of walking.

My neighborhood loop is exactly 3 miles. It takes me between 35 and 55mins depending on whether I run part of the way or not. 55 mins is all walking.

There are credible rumors Nicole Richie had a gastric bypass in the 2000s.

She was a cokehead and meaner than Paris Hilton, and after her surgery ‘took,’ threw infamous parties with purportedly satirical weight limits banning women over 120 lbs. This was all over blogs in the day - The Superficial, Dlisted, Perez Hilton. She’s a monster and always has been.

Are you too young to remember or is this a trick question, like actually her weight was fine but people were cruel about it?

OP is acting like Nicole was overweight and has kept the weight off. Nicole seems like a tiny person in my opinion then and now. I have no idea why the original poster is pondering her maintaining her weight. Just seems incredibly toxic to post such a thing. Especially, when Nicole has battled addiction and an eating disorder.

It’s not toxic. Lying is, though.

Nicole Richie wasn’t some nice girl just living her life - she was a social gatekeeper for worst of the worst 2000s era toxic ‘socialite’ culture. She didn’t have some weepy, feel sorry for her quiet addiction: she got cracked out of her head and drove drunk and high in the wrong direction on a highway before cops got her. She’s a terrible human being and noting that is not The Real Problem.

Look at her before and after. It happened in the blink of an eye during an era of Girls Gone Wild, sexual assault isn’t all ‘rape-rape,’ low-rise pants dominating fashion trends. An addict with a reputation for being ice cold levels of cruelty to people like the more fragile and messy Misha Barton and Lindsay Lohan did not get her skinny-assed figure and keep it for forever without surgery or a more legal kind of coke. Wake up, my dudes.

I do my neighborhood loop of 4 miles in 60-65 minutes.

Funny that the 1mph poster hasn’t come back yet to tell us we’re all wrong.

Yeah, maybe if you also had a 1000ft elevation gain per mile, but otherwise, no.

That was 20 years ago. It seems wrong to condemn her eternally in your mind as a coked up "it" girl in her 20s.

Jennifer Hudson ex husband is body builder. I believe she got into fitness and healthy eating.

Has OP come back to clarify if 265 is a typo? I assume she meant 135-165, which is visually a lot of weight if you are 5’5” or less.

If you have lost 130 pounds your metabolism is probably really messed up and hopefully you are working with doctors. Keeping off 30lb is harder because it kind of creeps up on you and I can totally see losing 30lb and then gaining it back slowly over a 2-3 year period before being strict and losing it again.

A four-mile walk should take an hour or a little less. (As exercise all at once, I mean…)

That PP is bonkers with their slow walking “putting in perspective” comment. I can’t imagine the turtle pace it would take to drag a 3 mile walk out over 3 hours.

My dog walks faster than that and she sniffs every blade of grass along the way. And height has nothing to do with it.

Op here. Not a typo, 265, additionally I’m also on Methimazole to slow down my thyroid. I’m the medical oddity of obese and hyperthyroid.

WTF? What are you doing crawling?

I used to run marathons and played college soccer--but that shot my lower back. So--I recently had to switch to walking over running and can do 4 miles easily in an hour.
