No, no, no. I've simply asked if walking alone will likely cause a drop of weight. I don't need your sanctimonious crap, Baraka. I'm very well aware of how to lose 50 lbs. Like I said before, I was doing alternating cardio and weight training five days a week before. Doesn't work with my current schedule.

I'm not actively looking to lose 50 lbs, my current weight is not even unhealthy for my height. It's purely aesthetic, so I'm not inclined to go on any sorts of 'transformations' - especially when keeping gainful employment is more important to me, and one of the two would have to erode the other. And I'm not dropping soda simply because I can't keep said employment without it - 12+ hour days is impossible without caffeine and I've yet to find any moderate levels (50g) that didn't taste like piss in exchange for being lower calories.

If Lindy's math is even remotely correct for my height/weight - "You would have to walk about 27 miles to lose 1 pound" - I'm walking 2 miles a day, so I'll lose a pound every two weeks, or two pounds a month. Good enough for me; I'm not exactly morbidly obese.
