A gal at church – slim and elderly – said that losing weight is simple. Just eat less and walk more. At first I kind of dismissed it, because it is so simple and walking isn’t necessarily the best exercise, etc., etc. But the more I thought about it, she is right. If a person, no matter what else they do, eats less and walks more, they will lose weight.

For me the eating less really is just staying on my planned menus, because when I do, I eat less than when I don’t (obviously), sometimes actually a LOT less. And walk more makes more sense than adding other types of exercise like exercise videos, etc, because just adding a couple miles of walking isn’t going to cause excess fatigue or injuries (if I don’t slip and fall!) So, I’m trying to just remember those two things – eat less and walk more.

I’m just stuck at about a 5 – 8 pound loss, depending on the day of the week and can’t seem to get moving on the rest of the 35 pounds. So, whatever helps, I’m willing to try.
