[QUOTE="woody66, post: 1203069, member: 95431"] Hi Lauren! Wow impressed with your plans seem pretty complex and good luck with it! Before both my Caminos i was and always have been overweight to quite a degree! I started to try and lose weight in approximately the same time frame as you. I used My Fitness Pal ;well it worked for me i started at 112.5 kilos and when i left to walk i weighed 93kg! (similar for the Frances this year ) [B]Now this is the bit i wanted to say that made it work; i hope it helps. (others will have different opinions to me)[/B] All i did was walk the dog an hour in the morning and an hour to one and a half in the afternoon most days (walking is something i love; being out in the fresh air) and i carried my full pack with a litre of water 6kg in total that's it! However my fitness pal set my daily total at 1500 calories. Well i like my food a lot; after my days calorie burn by about 5pm I had a deficit of about 5 to 6 hundred calories which meant even if i ate that i was still hitting the 1500 calorie daily target and losing at the rate i wanted! It stopped me feeling bad if i had cake etc.! No guilty feelings of cheating and i more or less hit my goal! However i am back home now after my Frances landed on 4OCT got COVID on the 5th and was immobile for three weeks. Then i had my annual flu jab knocked me for six for another week. Got well and on 27th November COVID booster put me down again! Result 7kgs back on cos i've been on my butt for about 6 weeks and grazing all day! So i will start again after Christmas so i am ready for next May! (I have to admit i have the willpower of a gnat; my kids really rip into me but that's who i am ) When you walk you will obviously burn a lot of Calories (according to my Fitbit i was using between 4 to a max of 6 thousand Calories a day) put enough fuel in to get you to Santiago don't skimp on food! I wish you well you can do it. Buen Camino Woody [/QUOTE]
