Hi, I am 280 pounds, 5 feet 10 inches, and 34 y.o. male. I have lost 5 pounds after doing walks last week (3 a day). Then trying to cut down on sweets and drinking 60 ounces of water.
So I have had a scare in October. Then another in December (started seeing a Doc/lab work ups/EKGs/echo/so on). Everything is normal but still seeing a cardiologist. My BP usually is 115/60. Pulse is tachycardic though. Have had 5 instances since December of chest pain/headache/BP spiking to 160/100 plus/nausea/almost passing out.
So trying to lose 40 pounds by May is my goal. Going for walks 3 to 4 days a week, eating health, and drinking water.
Question is think walks are a good exercise to burn calories?
I am too nervous to do anything strenuous till I reach 240. Then my next goal is 200 by September. Then 170 by February of next year.
Hoping to run a 10K by the end of the year and next Spring a half marathon.
Appreciate the insight.
