Step by Step: How Walking Helped Dee Transform Her Life
“Walking will always hold a special place in my heart, and I want to give that to others. If I’d carried on as I was, I probably wouldn’t be able to care for myself or my children…” - Dee Ucuncu.
Dee told The Ramblers Association, “I’m only 5ft [1.5m] tall, and I weighed almost 17 stone [106kg]... just walking 100m from the car was hard… In 2019, I was on a plane... A passenger told the steward he didn’t want to sit next to me because I was ‘overflowing’ onto his seat. It was so embarrassing. I felt heartbroken and cried all the way home. I knew I needed to lose weight, but I didn’t know how…
Being that big and going to the gym, I would have got looks. Walking was the only option for me. So I got a fitness watch and started counting my steps. I read that if you’re a complete beginner, you should exercise three times a week, so I did 1,000 steps every other day. I knew a good goal was 10,000 steps a day. It took me five months to manage that.”
And once Dee got walking, it seems that she didn’t stop. She started leading a local walking group, did the NHS’s Couch to 5k programme, joined a running club and in 2022, completed her first half marathon!
“My passion is getting people active… I think walking is underestimated. It’s free, you don’t need any equipment, and you don’t need to be fit. You see wildlife, you meet other people, and being outdoors in the fresh air boosts mental health. If I hadn’t walked, I wouldn’t have been able to run.”
