So instead, Brittney started small and went on a 30-minute walk each day. Little did she know, those short walks would add up, helping her lose 95 pounds and eventually sign up for bodybuilding competitions."I would never have ever guessed that walking would have ever done this to my body," she says. "To be honest, the difference in my stomach size is insane to me."Related: Best Walking Speed for Weight Loss After 50, According to Trainers
Brittney's Walking Routine
Brittney saw some weight loss success when she took to walking years ago, but never stayed consistent enough for it to stay off. This time, she recruited an accountability buddy—her husband—to keep her on track for her 10,000 step count goal.

The biggest challenge, according to Brittney, was actually getting up to do the walks. She credits her husband with keeping her on track once the initial motivation wore off.

It took about two months for Brittany's hard work to pay off. "In the beginning, it took a lot for my body to kick into gear and I'd say it was a month and a half to two months before I started seeing and feeling results," she says.
Brittney went from 245 pounds to 150, losing 95 pounds in total.

After work, she would take her dogs out for a walk for another two miles and finish the day at about 10 miles total. Today, she walks 10 miles daily, averaging about 17,000 steps.
30-30-30 Method
As the school year approached for her kids, Brittney found it harder to keep up her daily walks. Fortunately, she found her own way to keep her fitness goals up when life got busy: the 30-30-30 method.The 30-30-30 method involved 30 minutes of exercise within 30 minutes of waking up in the morning, followed by 30 grams of protein. For Brittney, that meant drinking a protein shake on her walk as well as having protein-rich breakfast meals.

Training for a Bodybuilding Competition
Brittney's new personal goal is to transform her body—again. But this time, she's doing it for a bodybuilding competition later this year. "I've never seen my body in this shape," she says. "To see muscle forming, it makes me want to see how much further I can push my body to do the things I want to do."
