Weightlifting is also very important. Don't use those silly Barbie dumbbells though. Weightlifting should feel like Lifting. Weights. If it doesn't, it's not heavy enough. Goal should be a weight that you can only lift for 4-8 reps in one set. Check out the Primal Blueprint website--they have a fitness e-book that you can download for free if you subscribe.

I like this approach also.
I walk a lot and have for many years for my work. I believe that losing more than 100 lbs makes it a bit tricky to do many things...but walking is good.
The lymphatic system drains away the fat we are losing and the walking helps it do its work.
Very cute pooch, Sunsea!
