I've been a long time lurker on this sub, and I finally got the guts to post something. Well, I recently got a new puppy. She's a hunting breed and will eventually require lots of exercise. I know I can't run with her for awhile, but I've been taking her on long hikes (around 4-5 miles) almost everyday with my old man (10 year old collie). Since February, I have lost 15 pounds by walking and eating slightly better than what I had been. I've started running again so when she's old enough I can keep up with her. To top it off, my collie has started to act less like an old man and becoming more energetic!
I signed up for a half marathon in August to get my butt into gear, and I'm actually following the training plan!
I'm not saying you should get a puppy to motivate yourself to lose weight. I'm saying if you do have a dog, they'd appreciate the walks no matter what age.
