I lost 15 pounds one summer. I ate anything that I want, I just ate less of it. I walked and swam that summer, no running, no intense workout or diet plan. I would advise anyone who wanted to lose weight to try walking

I agree on the walking subject. It’s the only exercise I get. I have Fibromyalgia and Psoriatic arthritis and need a cane for walking any distance more than a hundred feet or so. I spend a lot of time pushing a shopping cart around Wally World and other stores. No, I’m not running any marathons or walking fast…I’m just strolling along, but at least I’m getting some exercise.

Hi Zoey,

Running is great too. I’m a big fan of walking because it is easy to incorporate into your lifestyle. Which means you can walk during your lunch break, walk to the store, walk a flight of stairs etc. And you get many of the weight loss benefits without knocking yourself out. Don’t get hung up on walking vs running. the key is to move.
