ok so I am just starting to walk on the tread mill for 30 min is this acceptable to start out or should I be walking more? I almost want to pass out after 30 min.
That is great to start. As it easier (and it will) increase speed or time by small amounts. Challenge yourself but don't over do it. Soon you should be able to start doing some strength training 2 or 3 days a week. This help prevent muscle loss and maybe even build some depending on the amount of exercise you do. I do all my cardio and strength training in the pool because of old worn out arthritic joints.
If you're new to exercising be sure to listen to your body but keep challenging yourself. Treadmills are great for circuit type training where you go from light walking increasing the intensity to your maximum and then back to walking. Especially if time is tight. Though there is a value in going for longer walks to increase your endurance and lengthen your burn time. Just don't try to do it all at once.
Variation helps as well not only your body but your mind and spirit. Great work though and keep going.
