put some ankle weights around your feet, hang your feet off something and then lift and then lower your feet. do as many as you can. after u finish a set you will feel a mega burn on your shins. the stronger your shins the faster u will be able to walk and the more calories u will burn.

i do 70 reps on each foot four times a day.

good luck!

A few years back that was me. I could not change a res without breaking a sweat. had back problems. Went to the doc for back pain and she weighed me, I was at 285. I was like no effin way. I am 6-2 and did not look it. But did feel it. At the time I was working in a Cafe as the Chef. Had all the pop I wanted and fatty foods.
What I did was stop drinking pop and start drinking lots of ice water and green tea.
I was tired of Watching baseball, soccer, grow room. Now I am playing baseball, real baseball, woodbat league. And getting ready for indoor soccer to start.
You have to start somewhere and you already did. Now you just need to keep up what you are doing.
Now I am down to 210 and feeling great. Way better shape than when I graduated Hi school in 94.
When you do drop the weight I would try and find something active like a softball team or something like that. Bike riding is fun also and a good way to get cardio workout.
Also if youare having problems breathing while walking. I suggest maybe using a vaporizor to puff out of for a while untill your lungs are back and you can breathe better while excersizing.

i use 10 pd weights. buy at least a few different pds and try them. find the right one for u and return the rest. if you can easily do 50 in the beginning then they are not heavy enough. u literally want to tire out your shins

Soft drinks & fruit punch are the worst even them v8 fusion drinks 1/2 veggies 1/2 fruits have 2 > 8 ounce servings with 33 grams of sugar per serving Ouch!!

Key point here > drink an 8 ounce bottle of water before every meal because the trick is it will make you feel full and use a smaller plate so your smaller serving will look bigger and try to stop the salty snacks as sodium retains fluid and that is why you see over weight people with chunky faces or redish faces and large legs as it is fluid building up in your body. My first 50 pounds was all fluid I pissed out like a race horse.

Your body is 90 % water and if you can drink at least a gallon of water and the water before each meal and walk at your pace with good shoes for 30 minutes a day to get your blood circulating from your feet to your brain and back so you brain & heart get the right oxygen and your veins and arteries are not clotting down in your feet and legs.

I weighted 275 in April I'm down to 191 and feel much better and when I do have snacks it's in a 1/2 cup measured and with a bottle of water always.

Good Luck losing weight is very hard to do as foods are so tempting and fast food places with their quick $1.00 menu's are what's killing our kids and leaving us with high health Insurance bills.

Get yourself some Kettlebells, nothing beats it for burning some serious calories and building strength. You can get amazing workouts with surprisingly not much weight, then you can increase as you progress

80% of losing weight and staying healthy is your diet, exercise should come easy then :)
