???dropping lbs when you're not trying???
in the last 6 weeks, i've started to pay attention to my weight. not going to the gym because i had to cancel the membership because of financial issues.
the first three weeks, i lost enough to bet me back to my net -18 from last year i'm happy.
since then, i've slacked off.
today, i get on the scale and i'm an extra -3!!!!!
but i haven't been trying. my diet still is not-so-good (to put it nicely). the only thing i'm doing is walking more. i walk during my break at work, i park my car far in the parking lot, and i'm walking the dog 3 times a week.
can just adding the walking make such a big difference?
don't get me wrong, i'm happy! but i'm also a little confused.

How many minutes are you walking? I found that when I walked 3 days a week at lunch for 45 minutes...I lost alittle weight too. (I did this in additional to my normal gym routine...which just wasnt cutting it).
So yes I think this could be the difference!

How many minutes are you walking?
during work: i walk during my "10 minute break", which i usually walk for 15 minutes.
when i walk the dog: i usually walk the dog for 30 minutes.
i've also set my default printer (at work) to the printer that is the farthest away from me... i print A LOT of stuff.
i guess it might be adding up.

I know you said your diet wasn't so good, but have you changed anything? I replaced my snacks with bananas and I saw a difference. Are you drinking less? Things like that.

diet hadn't changed BEFORE the -3.
now that i saw the -3, i'm inspired to keep it up, so i'm watching my food intake a bit more and i started a dvd workout, last night!
i'm pretty excited!
i'm only 4lbs from my wedding weight!
i wasn't skinny on my wedding, but it's a benchmark
