well ive been walking and doing some other exercises for 6 days already (for an hour every day)and ive lost one inch already but i live in texas and its so hot and besides i exercise in the garage so i sweat a lot. but i havent lost a pound. so first measure your self before you start. hope this helps oh design your own sensible diet like only eat a cup of cerial for breakfast and a salad for lunch and the same for dinner only less. and lots and lots of water!!!!!!
