Pounds to Lose: 61.6 lbs

It's so annoying when people offer you unsolicited advice on weight loss. Two weeks ago, I posted on fitocracy in the Weight Loss group:

Hasher Dude you were 3 pounds heavier than me at my heaviest. I started in mid July and started with paleo and didn't even workout the first month then started light workouts right at home and added only a l title something each and every day. 

You can do this!"

Hasher Just followed you. 

You need to add something besides walking. Body weight squats sit-ups push-ups planks stuff that you can have no excuse to not do. 

It is what I did. Now I am knocking stuff if out and shedding weight again. I rarely go to the gym I just work out at home where no one can see me lol 

Doooooo eeeeetttttt!!!!!!!

ryan_scribailo I definitely agree with Hasher. If you start doing more than just walking you'll start seeing progress a lot faster. Resistance training will dramatically improve your fat loss efforts.

Come brother we gotta get you doing something besides your walking. I was in the same place as you. How about 10 body's weight squats a day. Just build it slowly an s suddenly you will me able to add sets like. Ad. Come on man there are a lot of us pulling for you here. :-)

I have yet to respond because I really don't see the need to but I will say this:

I've lost 45lbs "just walking" so apparently what I'm doing is working. However, when it stops working, I will seek the advice of someone fitter than myself not someone in worse shape.
