That's a great loss, well done. I started walking to work a couple of times a week and find it works for me too.

Walking is great; it keeps you in better shape than just sitting around. You have lost about a pound a week,so roughly a 500 calorie deficit a day. Your walking accounts for less than half of that. Most of the loss came from the adjustments in your diet. Great job!
