Everyone's bodies are different, like some of ya'll have said. Some people can exercise and lose weight, some can't seem to do so. Some folks can eat unhealthy and be thin....others can't.

Walking seems to work for me, as I lost about 15 pounds or so when I went to England for 3 weeks back in 2003. I don't eat as much as I used to either. I've floated around the 140 pound mark for the past 5+ years. I'm not fat, but I could tone up a bit and stand to lose that 15 pounds again.

Sounds like youre on the right track. Good for you.
