    Thanks for sharing.

    I plan on walking more this year, but not until it warms up. I can't stand cold weather and can't imagine walking in it. :frown:

    I love cold weather! I think my favorite time to walk is while it's snowing. However, I don't like walking when the sidewalks are icy. I hate walking in the rain and I'm not a fan of wind unless it's warm outside.

    Holy cats! More amazing! All of you cold weather people deserve awards!

    I'm such a chicken I joined a gym because I can't stand running (or skating, working out-whatever) outside if it's colder than 74!

    I lived in Vegas for some years and walked everywhere!

    Contradulations on your weight lose. It was a great hint about adding back the calories that you burnt. My dr. told me not to add the calories back in. But sometimes I was just so hungry. You were successful and you added the calories back in. Yeah.

    I am on two appetite suppresants. I am wondering what is going to happen when I come off of them. Will I gain it all back again and more.

    Doing some quick math I figured you must have been walking 12+ miles a day. How far is it to your work and gym?

    That's a lot of walking.

    And congratulations to you and thank you for sharing your secrets.

    Thank you for this. I like the bit about groceries--the only alternative I have to schlepping groceries is delivery, and I much prefer the schlepping for a variety of reasons unrelated to weight loss. I never thought about how much caloric energy it actually takes to get them this way, though :)

    Yikes! I hate hot weather. I would probably have a heat stroke.

    Pretty much anywhere I would go (work, gym, grocery store, etc.) is about a mile away. So, 2 miles both ways. I do average about 12 miles a day with all the running around I do at work.

    Don't let snow stand in your way! I trudged through the snow on my way to work this morning. Some areas were up passed my knees. :)
