Walking!

Question
QUESTION: Hi im trying to lose weight by mainly walking and eating less. I was wondering how many miles should i walk per day or per week to begin to lose weight?

ANSWER: Hey, Sara. Before I can answer this question, I need to know a few details about you:
Age, weight, height and general physical condition (joint problems, back problems, etc..) will be helpful.

Let me know, and I will follow up.

QUESTION: I'm 20yrs. old. I weigh about 330 lbs. I am about 5'8. i have no general conditions like back problems or anything of that nature.

ANSWER: Great. One more question - how do you think you become so big? Do you overeat? Do you lead a sedentary lifestyle? Please describe your typical day (activity, diet, sleeping schedule) and I will follow up.

QUESTION: I over eat alot. My typical day I would wake up and for breakfast I would eat what we had eaten for dinner the night before. then between lunch and breakfast I would eat something else big then for lunch I would eat a  big burrito with a bag of chips and a can of soda. I dont really be hungry I just eat cause it's there most of the time or because i have access to it. No activity for me. I dont really do anything besides go to work and school. I dont diet I just recently started to have a little self control but it's been hard. I recently moved away to another city and this city doesnt have any corner stores or nothing to that nature so i dont eat as much and starting last week i walked six miles in one week and my mother noticed i was lost a tiny bit of weight, but i never told anyone i started walking around the lake which is 3 miles around. I go to sleep around 11p.m and i wake at about 6:30a.m

Answer
I see. Well, certainly if you are serious about changing your body and life, this sedentary lifestyle has to end.  

Instead of giving you bits and pieces, I would like for you to go to my blog, read all the articles and watch all the videos. I am sure you will find them very useful.
One of the videos will also tell you that the value of exercise is in its intensity, and while walking is better than nothing, to normalize and speed up your metabolism, you must puch it harder.  

Study my blog at powerfulweightloss.blogspot.com and follow up with me with specific question.

Thanks,
