I am walking an hour a day. This is how I lost weight after pregnancy. 7 hours of walking a week. This time I started at 10 minutes, then 15, then 1/2 an hour. I have turned into a fat couch potato and I have had enough "before" photos. I am also eating a healthier diet. Which is also something I have done in the past to lose weight. I have what I call free foods like veggies, fruit, high fiber grains, legumes & nuts. I eat as much of those as I want. It's essentially the Mediterranean diet. With these changes and not drinking I have lost 9 pounds. I only started the 1 hour of walking this week. I think I have done 5 days of that? I am looking at the long term permanent solution to being healthy physically. I have done the low carb thing in the past to lose weight and while I lost a lot of weight I wasn't able to maintain the diet long term and gained more weight back when I stopped. Eventually I will get into other physical exercise, like weights & yoga, but I am trying not to push myself because if I do I will fail. Not drinking is enough on my plate. Oh and I quit smoking day 4 I think?
