Reply #85: I guess we see it differently [View All]

Walking is exercise to me. I'm not talking about a leisurely stroll. I walk fast enough to make carrying on a conversation difficult. I do that twice a day when the weather permits it. I can definitely tell a difference in weight when I don't walk. I usually gain a few pounds over the winter, when I walk less, even though my diet remains the same.

I'm over 40 & don't use technology to remain slim, unless you count the iPod I carry while walking. I do it by walking, watching what I eat & how often I eat. I'm 5'5 & weigh 120 lbs. I'll probably gain 5-10 lbs. when normal winter temps arrive here. Right now we are breaking records for high temps so I'm still walking twice a day.
