Has anyone used walking to lose weight? I enjoy walking and need to lose weight but somehow don’t feel like it’s enough. Would love to hear your experiences!

Yup - I lost 10 pounds when I got my puppy from all the walking. ~1.5+ hours a day with him.

I gained quite a bit of weight since March. About a month ago, I got a treadmill and started walking 30-60 minutes a day, and started taking much more care with what I eat. I’m now down about 5 pounds - but I attribute weight loss to 99% to diet, not exercise. What I do think the walking has done for me is a act as a motivating factor and a stress reliever. I think eating well makes me feel good and want to exercise. And exercise makes me feel good and want to eat well. So I don’t think only walking will cause massive weight loss. But for me it’s been a really helpful component to bigger changes.

All that is necessary to lose weight is a calorie deficit. Walking burns calories and could help you increase the calorie deficit. That said, diet is the most important part. Calories in, calories out. Once you find what your “calories out” are (which varies from person to person), just limit the calories in to be less than that.

What you eat and don’t eat is the biggest factor to lose weight. Exercise is important, it’s great for your health, the human body was made to move and walking is a very safe way to do that. You will sleep better too and avoid future problems. Walking is great, I love it!

Hi all,

I just got a job with Delta airlines and I had an accomodation request to work remotely as I am Immunocompromised. I provided all the neccesary documents to back up my request and letters and documents from my Dr. aswell. My request was denied because the team said they wanted me to have face time and one on one interactions with people from other team (which defeats the purpose of my request) because I have to limit those interactions to reduce the risk of infection. What do I do?

I did my second natural cycle IUI today and the two week wait commences. If it doesn't work, we will be going to IVF. Thankful for remote work as it allowed me to have privacy over my schedule.

I’ve recently started work at a very young tech startup. Coming from a big law background, this was a huge change of pace/environment.

It feels like hire ups give a set of instructions then talk as if they don’t remember, or then decided rules A, B, C and D applies without being clear this was the case. Is this just the general startup environment? If you experienced this before, how did you deal with It?
