Not a question, just advice

I read that some of us are having trouble trying to figure out what kind of exercise to do or how long. I am 1 year post-op, have lost 130 pound as of today 310 now 180(looks like I weigh 150) The only exercise I have done was walking. Now let me explain: When I first began I was going to the gym 3 times a week, then I would walk about a mile aday (of course gradually) and saw that I lost but not like I should(go figure. Then due to financial difficulty,(out of work) I had to return my car. So for the last six months I had to walk every where. To the store, drug store,child school, to friends houses, catch public transportation to appointment and walks about 10 blocks before I get there. But you know what, I never felt or looked better, I'm not only tone but I notice today that my legs and stomach is lookin so much better, that I might not need a tummy tuck.This is probably the best thing to happen( I really don't miss it)no more bills GOD CLOSE ONE DOOR AND OPENS ANOTHER. Now I'm not saying to turn in your cars, but I am saying Park them. Walk it's much cheaper than a gym, much more healthier and my skin is glowing,I've even gotten to know people on my block who I never spoke to before. Do you know what I'm trying to say, Why spend all that money when , if we follow our doctor's advice, all we have to do is walk briskly, May God bless you all
