I did pretty good by doing 18k steps every 2 days. With that I could pretty much eat normal and still lose weight. It's much easier to do this with a friend or your spouse. It's boring otherwise and you'll lose interest quickly.
I know well because...
Then I got sabotaged by winter, then my spouse got very busy and couldn't keep going with me and I lost all my progress. Except I'm way stronger than I used to be, and fat now.
People really can't figure out how my fat ass can stand at my standing desk all day effortlessly and then still go on a walk, do yard work, and have no pain. My legs are fucking strong, just never get to use them like I used to.
So don't fall into that trap.
