    As daft as this sounds, go for a walk holding two full water bottles. Really helps with the swinging of arm movements, and also gives a bit of resistance training on the arms.

    Looking at your 3 pictures on your "loss chart"...I'd say what you're doing is certainly working. So keep it up! I agree with the advice to continue to up your distance and speed a little at a time. Or do spurts of faster walking then go back to normal as you adjust. I'm glad someone advised against adding a backpack of textbooks...I'd be afraid of injury, too. I've added short bits of light jogging to my walks lately and never thought I'd be doing that! So keep walking as it's a great exercise!
