How Walking Every Day Helped This Guy Lose 300 Pounds – menshealth.com
In a new episode of the body transformation webseries Brand New Me, Frank Markosek from Illinois shares how he struggled with his weight and with over-eating for years. "If it had a dollar menu, I was there," he says, describing how he would eat fast food almost every day, and would frequently eat before bed.
At his heaviest, Frank weighed 557 pounds, and says that he would often put on a brave face for the sake of others, but was continually dealing with feelings of unhappiness. A turning point came during a friend's bachelor weekend in 2019, when Frank and his friends went to a hockey game, and he found that he couldn't sit comfortably in the stadium seat for longer than a minute because it was so tight.
"I remember getting up and crying my eyes out," he says. "I looked in the mirror and I said, do you want to live, or do you want to die?"
He knew it was time to finally make a change, and so he made a commitment to eating healthier, and started exercising. He originally set himself the goal of walking 10,000 steps each day, but soon found that walking was as good for his mental health as it was for his physical health, and he began to do it more and more.
"I love walking, I love the air, I love being outside, I love feeling free," he says. "I walk around a half-marathon total every day."

During the filming of the episode, Frank reveals that he is now weighing in at 256 poundsa total weight loss of 301 pounds in under two years.
"I think I had to go through these struggles to finally figure everything out today," he says. "I feel like I have more control than I ever did before. You can fix your body all you want, but until you fix your head, you cannot maintain sustainability with weight loss. A lot of the mental aspect of it was me talking out loud about my past experiences; it helped me release all those feelings I had, but in a positive way."
