Personally, I love walking. I've recently started weight lifting, too - but for the longest time I just walked. I find a special benefit to walking at least 30 minutes at a faster but still comfortable pace. Anything less than that and I don't get that nice endorphin buzz that I so enjoy. I walk 7 days a week when I can and I typically walk 40 minutes to an hour - sometimes longer on weekends. I think my weight loss has continued because walking has returned me to a normal, active life. I'm not sure where I'd be at in my journey if I had not decided to add walking to my daily routine.

After 2 years of steady weight loss, my arms and upper body were looking pretty wimpy. I'm sure I did lose a quite a bit of muscle along the way. I probably should have done weight lifting regularly, too. I am finally doing that. I just don't enjoy it as much as I do a nice long walk.
