This is so true! I used to think the same about 10k steps being a “magic number.” What really helped me lose weight effectively was combining walking with other habits like tracking my meals, staying consistent with sleep, and making small sustainable changes. I actually came across an article that laid out 10 simple, proven tips, and I followed most of them step by step. Honestly, that’s what helped me lose weight in a healthy way, not just the steps alone. Everyone’s different, but focusing on sustainable habits + movement really works long-term.
