I am 5'8 and I weigh 225 lbs I think it may be alittle less. This week I started walking 1-2 miles a day and trying to cut back on calories as much as possible. I am not the smartest when it comes to health and nutrition so this is where you come in. I need help learning what is good and what is not. One of my main questions is...Is this walking every night going to help? I need to know where my target heart rate should be I guess to know. Well thats alittle about me sorry so long:) Beth
