Stretches for Walkers
Speed
When you first begin walking, concentrate on building your time spent walking rather than your speed. The number of calories you burn depends how far you go rather than how fast.
Write it Down
You've chosen a goal. It is realistic. You have a way to measure it. You have the date you will achieve it, and intermediate goals along the way. Now write it down and post it where you can see it and be reminded of it each day.

Enjoy Each Bite
Savor your food. Take smaller bites and concentrate on the flavor and texture - truly enjoy it. Make it last. The stomach takes time to register that it is satisfied. By stretching out the time you spend eating the same amount of food, you won't be tempted to eat more. And enjoying the food will satisfy you emotionally.
