I came to the conclusion several weeks ago that all the walking I do helps maintain my weight, but it doesn't seem to help me lose even a couple of pounds, because it doesn't build muscle strength. So now, it's being careful about calorie intake, frequent walks, AND strength training. Knowing is not the same thing as doing, of course. I'm glad to know what's working for you. Very encouraging!

Since the Curves program is a circuit training kind of exercise, even though it only takes roughly 30 minutes, my weight loss kicked in dramatically. I'm over 60, and didn't think it was possible to start losing "easily" again. Though I have been a walker in the past, walking didn't have the effect that the circuit training did.
