How much walking do you do?

You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
Very true, but sticking to it's the hard part. It's real easy to join a gym...but dragging yourself there twice a week takes determination...lol. Few summers ago, they hired this new guy...he was easily 350 lbs..had him loading trucks. He lasted maybe 2 hours...lol
Two times a week isn't gonna do much for u.

... and you're in the Concrete Jungle / Imagine what some of us super rural guys do
When I cover a super rural route I do less walking. Those routes have 500s and I drive up almost every driveway. I do most of my walking when I do a route that starts commercial then finishes rural because you can't take a 1200 up most driveways.

Maybe a real expensive one would be accurate but my experience with cheaper pedometers is that they aren't accurate at all. Just the normal bouncing around in a package car would add up as steps. Try wearing one for an exact measured mile while walking and see what it comes up with.

My super rural is in an Iron Maiden 800 / There are overgrown lanes with a tunnel that exactly matches my truck.

I counted steps one time while doing nothing but apartment complexes. Climbed the equivalent of the Empire State Building 1.5 times.

I'm a big guy and weight has always been a lifelong problem with me. It always cracks me up when slim people say "all you need to lose weight is....." If it were only that easy. That is like a non -smoker telling a smoker how easy it is to quit.

I somewhat disagree. I too am a big guy but it can really be that easy. It's all about how bad you want it. Saying it's not that easy is just an excuse. A few years ago when I was 270 I said no more. Hit the treadmill and the gym and lost 45 pounds (in 3 months) and eventually ran a Tough Mudder my first half marathon. So yeah, "all you need to lose weight is...." a little desire and determination.
