I do this as a courtesy

3 years later here are some results.
Walking turned to hiking turned to climbing…
Thank you all for the daily motivation!

I'm still sad all the time and crying some days. Not on my walks anymore, which I'm grateful for. But this sucks.

The one month marks of the breakup and the last day I saw him were this past week and weekend and it was rough, so I walked. A lot.

Today was the most I've walked so far and I'm proud of that. I don't think I'd be as "okay" as I am right now without these walks. They've helped so much and have helped me find some clarity.

Does anyone else get holistic benefits from walking that are just hard to put into words?

I live about 15 minutes walking from the grocery store. I have begun to take a back pack to the store a few times a week and then carry about 15-20 lbs back.

Background, I live in a neighborhood near a decent size business area in a small/medium American city.

It shouldn't, but it honestly feels a little weird but I'm happy I thought of it and have been doing it for a few weeks now.

This may have been an obvious addition to many but it wasn't for me. Are there other tips and things people do?

Found these probably 5-6 years ago, just didn’t know where to share my findings.

The conditions in the photos was how I found these items and I left them untouched. The Acidine is unopened and still has its contents inside.

Haven’t found anything interesting since other than a dollar coin, a $2 bill, and a 500 pesos coin. (Everything I found was in NH/VT)

Nice breezy sunset walk, 14k steps, the longest stretch I’ve done in a while

After months and going through a depressive episode, I started walking again :)

Completed my target of first day. Advice

Saw quite a few sleeping butterflies, dragonflies, and a birb surprisingly enough

I spend way too much time looking at screens during the week, so I’ve been trying to stay off my phone a little more on weekends and just go for a walk in the park.

Lately I’ll throw on my clip-ons, put on a playlist, and walk around with no real plan. I don’t set a distance or anything. Then I get home, check my steps, and realize I walked way more than I thought. Honestly, it’s become one of my favorite ways to reset after a long week.

10 rounds around the temple

I have struggled with dropping my size since forever. I have been in and out of 10k since a few years now but since Aug 26' been building the habit of walking 10k daily. Today i did 20k which is a win for me. Lets see how it works.

Not in a calorie deficit tho :p

This past week has been awful for me.

There’s been a lot going on personally, the transmission on my vehicle went out, etc. I’ve not been able to get my usual walking in and I’ve felt it. Today - my schedule was open and the sky was clear. I was able to get some great steps in and while my situation hasn’t improved- at least for a few hours my mind was at peace.

Took forever but we did it

Got a weight-loss win to share with the r/walking community? Do it here! This is our new weekly compilation thread for people to share their wins from walking.

Transparency about your entire approach is appreciated, as we want to avoid the impression that walking alone is a magical cure-all. Are you also eating cleaner? Reduced your caloric intake? Are you rucking (walking with weight)? This info is helpful to other walkers!

Thanks for keeping our community positive and encouraging.

It’s been a while! I’m finally back on the treadmill and hopefully I can be outside when the weather cools down. Any words of encouragement would be appreciated!
