It looks like I've not plateaued but just losing weight "semi-normal". Lost 10lbs this month. I'm still eating a daily average of 800 calories below goal of losing 2 lbs a week. Not counting any exercise calories.
Doing some research on the physiology equations of calories when walking. The effect on the body and calories lost. It looks like there is an agreement that the main factors are weight and distance. Speed only increases the calories lost about 10%-15%. Getting your heart rate up to improve heart health and increase metabolism is a great reason to increase speed but not a big factor to increase your calorie loss during exercise.
Going to get a heart monitor to wear during exercise to make sure my heart rate is staying up. Any recommendations?
Down 85lbs total.
