All my life I have seen to sweat more than most people. In part I think it's because of the contraction my muscles do automatically due to my cerebral palsy. I am use step converters to get an idea for 10,000 steps a day. And from there to understand the calories burned. Today I looked at seven different sources on the Internet to calculate count calories and walking. In each one, they came up with the different estimates. The sources are good sources but it is obvious they are not using the same way to calculate the calories.
The one thing that they all agreed with is the heavier you are the more calories you burn walking. To lose one pound you have to lose 3600 cal. If you weigh 300 pounds you will burn three times more weight then your 100 pound friend for the same activity. The key would be to do the walk and not add anymore eating and you should lose weight rather consistently. If you trade to calories that you were burning for more food you may not gain weight but you won't be able to lose because of increased eating.
Losing a pound a week or every two weeks seems like forever when you’re heavy. Be patient, and while you are at it notice how much better you feel. Keep walking.
