This year, I began trying to walk with my son as often as possible. I load him up in the stroller, and I just start walking. In particular, after the beginning of July I tried to get out as often as I could. At some point I started recording those walks using my phone.

I didn't end up capturing all the walks that I did, and of the walks that I did end up capturing I didn't end up getting all of them because sometimes I forgot to put it down until late. However, here are the statistics.

I walked a grand total this year of 65 km, and that took 18 hours. I climbed the equivalent of 700 m on upward hills. And all of this work ended up, at least according to the app, burning 3800 calories or about 1 lb.

A long time ago I successfully lost a lot of weight, and people always ask me how I did it. The key isn't burning more fat as I've shown. That's an awful lot of work for 1 lb. The key is to eat less and to eat better. That's how people succeed at weight loss.
