once that's done, i would not just walk laps around a park, that's a poor motivator. what i do is i pick a store i need to shop in, and i walk there and carry what i need back home. once that's easy, i shop at a further store, then further still, increasing my endurance and maintaining my interest in the walk.
if you live urban as i do, you should align your walk along mass transit lines so if you walk far and can't bare to walk back, you can simply catch a bus back near your home. i would NOT use a bike (trust me, i have one too) because you will consistently exercise a wider array of muscles walking than you do biking.
once you can go a few miles, then you may consider rucking to make your walk more exercise efficient because walking takes time, so if for example you have time to walk 2miles there and 2miles back, adding weight will exercise your like you walked 3+3 miles without having to spend 50% more time at it.
i hope some of this help, good luck.
i'm older and need to walk a few miles for health.
if you are new to rucking, this is a good sample vest.
i filled the lower rows with 10lbs of the sand bag
pull a 2nd t-shirt over it, so people just think i'm stocky.
once i feel more sure on my knees, i'll go to 20lbs.
i like how the weight is evenly spread out front & back
so i don't look like i got a rectangular boob job
i often wear a back pack full of grocery shopping
and wearing this does not interfere with my pack.
younger people may want to get something else
that can go up 40lbs for gals and 60lbs for guys.
don't confuse rucking weight with barbells,
just because you can lift 40-60lbs a few sets
does not mean you can walk a mile with them.

If possible, cut out all sugar for a week or two (or if too difficult, at least go for cutting out anything with ADDED sugars - harder than it sounds). Eat less. Eat ONLY when actually hungry.
Exercise is of course important, for other reasons, but it's not the best option for shedding excess fat and losing weight to be more in range with where you should be.
Source: multi month, $$$ program that my state govt insurance paid for me to go through as one of their clients. I lost 30 lbs and maybe more importantly, learned HOW to eat properly (as opposed to what I did before, which was constantly snacking, eating WAY too much, etc). Thing I loved about that was they almost didn't care WHAT you ate...more important, at least initially, was how you ate.
Thanks

The individual weight sand bags are sturdy and you could use them individually to build up to 20lbs as well.

If you try to do all of that you just suggested, most people will give up in a week or two.
I encourage people to cut back a little on junk food, etc. and start working out more. Going from nothing to exercising regularly is already a shock to the system. You don't have to start eating baked chicken and steamed carrots immediately.
Establish a workout routine. Do that for 2-3 weeks. Cut out all the sweet treats. That's really as far as I'd go with diet during this period.
Once you feel you've got that down, start weeding out the rest of the junk.
Being healthy is a MARATHON not a sprint. It really shouldn't even be about weekly goals or benchmarks.
What everyone needs is a healthy routine and a healthy mindset.
Do not try to change your life overnight because you will fail.
Slow and steady wins this race.

There are way more expensive (and obv heavier) options.
If you are looking into rucking this is a legit starter vest I think .
