I'm a nudge under 6'3" and just turned 45 and coming off some stressful years I'm in the process of dropping weight from a high of 251 to a goal of 195-200.
In February I started walking a little at first and up to hours a day (usually 14 miles), hitting the weight room a bit when my ankles started getting sore and I scaled down the walking, and eating super clean. (Egg whites for breakfast, blended kale and spinach shakes for lunch and chicken breast and brown rice split between a small early and small later meal and cutting out sugar and beer which kill your energy)
I didn't know what results I could hope for in a month but after 31 days I was down 23 pounds which is a personal record by far. It helps to be unemployed as all of this is a large time commitment.
I ended up moving to an apartment that need some work so my flow was interrupted and I'm just getting back in to it. I plan to continue the healthy eating and weights and scale down the walking, shoot for 10-12 pounds a month.
The big takeaway for me was that I guy in his 40's can still get results, and without ever really killing yourself. The walking took a lot of time, and I was always happy to be finished for the day, but I was never really straining.
