Most guides that I have seen recommend 10,000 steps per day for weight loss. I gradually worked my way up to 10K and it wasn't very hard.
Start by counting how many steps you take per day for an entire week (without any extra affort). This is your baseline. For week 2, add 500 steps to your baseline average. Say, for example, your baseline shows that you take 4,000 steps per day on the average. For week 2, you will make your daily goal 4,500 steps per day. During week 3, your goal will be 5,000 steps per day, and so on. After a while, you will have to be creative in finding ways to get your steps in but that is the fun part of the challenge. But before you know it you will be averaging 10,000 steps per day!
You can do it. Best of luck!
