Unfortunately, I'm not losing... :( I need to add the walking. I know that if I were to walk consistently, I'd lose the weight.
Thanks, Leota! Yesterday, I was feeling so dejected I didn't walk. Fully expected to get on the scale to find out I gained and I lost a lb.! Go figure. I'm thinking maybe I would be better off if I tried walking for 10-15 min., 2 or 3 times a day instead of once. I'm wondering if maybe that would keep the old metabolism working more. I may try that. Right now I'm trying furiously to get two graduation quilts done in the next two weeks, so I'm not doing much moving at all.
