Try for 10,000 right now, and work your way up to about 12,000 or even 15,000 if you are really enthused! You would be surprised how many steps you need to take! A good hour walk a day will keep you up to 10,000. I do about 12,000 a day, and thats tough! Go and see my before and after pic here http://www.healthandstrength.net You can get there, it just takes consistency, lots of water and a clean diet :) Have fun!

5000 steps = one mile. But be sure though to start slowly and work your way up in distance. Try to include resistance training and follow a healthy food lifestyle to help with weight loss
