Walking for weight loss is a neat way to lose weight without having to worry too much about starting an exercise program. When you think exercise, are you really just thinking weight control? Youre not alone.
I must admit Ive been to quite a few weddings before but never has the invitation stated that there is a weight limit for the guests so why on earth do we feel we need to lose weight for a wedding?
Maybe its because we bought our outfit a while ago and weve over done it since then or perhaps its because we know The Ex is going to be there, but more than likely its because we just dont want to look at the photos afterwards as we dont like looking at ourselves in the shape we are currently in.

By maintaining your current activities and diet and adding 2,000 steps a day (about 7 miles, or roughly 700 Calories a week), you could lose up to 1 pound every five weeks.
