1. Go get a thyroid test from your doctor. They are quick and easy.
2. WRITE DOWN what you eat, even if it's a half cup of cheerios you finish from Junior's breakfast.
You should already have lost weight, so either you need to walk more vigorously, make sure the food is really what you are eating. See the doctor.

workout, run, do something to get your heartrate moving. walking is nice but if you want real results then you need to workout or do more cardio.
ur body loses the weight on its own keep walking it will come off soon but try eating healthy if u dont already try some new exercised get that heart pumping
okay well sometimes theres more to it and walking doesnt work for everybody but i sound like your at a pretty nice weight
run run run be more mobile
It changes for every one but eating right but too much can slow that down. Eat 200 calorie meals every 3 hours. It takes 150 cal for your stomach to digest everything so if you eat 200 then your body will use the extra 50 cals as energy and use the rest to digest it. Walking fast but short distances won't help. you need long distances for a long time at a fast pace the cardio will burn your fat. Add some muscle workout to help change your fat to muscule. Hope this helps!
You should be walking at least a 15 minute mile and at the very minimum 30 minutes every day. Remember a serving of meat is usually 3 oz. You could also start lifting weights to create muscle which helps burn more calories.
Replace one meal with just veg. Don't overdo the water.
Cut down on chicken portion. Increase veg and add fruits. You need to do brisk walking and really work up a sweat. It's slower to lose. Patience. Try to detox your body. Very important to weight loss regimen. Good luck.
walking usually doesn't help you lose weight, it helps you maintain the weight your are already at. pick up the pace and jog or run(if you are in good enough health to do so), and slightly cut calorie intake, you should be on your way to a slimmer you. i'm no nutritionist, i'm not even old enogugh to drink, but i know from experience what running can do for your health
do a shot of apple cider vinegar. this will help increase your metabolism. cut down on too much water. you may be retaining it. If nothing really seems to work ask your doctor to prescribe you adipex its a great diet aid.
Listen, as a fellow walker, I just want to say...I AM PROUD OF YOU! Weight loss is slow, at least it is for me. But , what is happening for me is that I'm firming up! I was disappointed in the few pounds I had lost, but I noticed my flab was disappearing..and I certainly feel better...but, are you eating enough? Our metabolism has slowed down some, but you just keep up the good work. It WILL happen!, and we'll rejoice together when it does!
You should be loosing weight now. try to stick with green veggies carrots and corn have fat. Don't put butter or dressing on those veggies, just use some kind of seasoning. Try Kashi cereal stick to one cup for breakfast it has More fiber than the oats. One chicken breast broiled use pam and seasoning.avocado's and potatoes are high in fat too. Good luck.
instant oats are processed.anything processed isn't the best thing for you.the oats are good but find some that regular oats and not the instant ones. just keep it up. i would try speed walking of jogging instead..you have to be breaking a sweat and feeling a little burn to start noticing a change to your body.. water is good, but misleading for a while..when you first start drinking alot of water when you work out it actually makes you look bigger than you are because your body retains it for a period of time. but if you do activity that makes you perspire alot it won't be a problem...just keep it up and you'll start to notice the difference.
If your walking (sounds like you do a lot of it!) is a big change you have made in excersize and you haven't seen any results by now, then you might want to change your eating habits. add fruits and whole grains to your diet and maybe cut back on the chicken to only one time a day. eating breakfast is good, it helps curb cravings throughout the day. and tons of water is great. also soup will stay in your stomache longer and fill you up. what kind of veggies & chicken are you eating? fresh veggies are great, but if they're cooked in oil/butter/etc. then that's not so good, esp. twice a day. avoid soft drinks and other sugary food. if you like sweets, like me, try strawberries. they seem to do the trick with my sweet tooth!
it boils down to calories in -vs.- calories out.
good luck!
add some light weight training not a lot curl some light weights like a soup can as you watch tv and do some leg lifts just six inches off the floor and spread and back and walk up 5 steps on the steps and do it to music now the muscles you tone will demand more sugars and that lean mass will raise the metabolism for you also theres a wall of weight loss thats like a plateau that everyone hits for a while its where you've lost the water weight and now need to break out with a routine snapper like a swim or a light jog on grass to start only a few minutes added a week like a half hour swim or a 10 minute jog then do your 20 minute walk good luck
If you use a pedometer, basically the rough rule of thumb is you need to do about 10,000 steps a day to maintain your weight assuming no dietary changes and 12,000 steps a day to lose weight at a safe rate of about 3 pounds a month, assuming no dietary changes. A typically "active" person will usually do 5,000 to 8,000 steps a day without doing additional walking, a sedentary person might do only 3,000 to 5,000. What you need to do is use a pedometer to track how much you normally walk, and then add extra mileage so that your total is about 12,000 steps a day, if you want to lose weight, assuming that your physician has approved you for this increase in activity. Figure on about 2,000 steps being equivalent to about a mile. Or, you could forget all the calculation and just make sure you walk an extra 4 miles a day and that would take care of it. Usually, though, there is an initial lag on weight loss as you convert fat to muscle, which weighs more, and some people can even gain weight in the first stages, so it is best to focus on other benefits from increased activity: stress reduction, less fatigue, more energy to do things throughout the day, boost to the immune system, fresh air and sunshine, getting to know your neighborhood, etc. It is better to focus on the pleasures of walking in and of themselves, and view the eventual weightloss as a kind of fringe benefit, one of the many advantages of increasing your activity and fitness.

What you need to maybe try is go vegetarian when ever I start to gain to much weight I just stop eating meat. How much chicken do you eat and what about beef pork no just chicken well it doesn't matter how little meat you eat what does matter is cutting it all out and you will feel so much better and you wot even have to to exercises if you don't want to I got to point a few times and like now where my pants were getting way to tight and i couldn't buckle my pants anymore then I stop eating meat and no exercise also 2.5 weeks later everyone stopped commenting on my stomach and my pants are loose buckled that is it works but no one reallies how much damage meat does go to a vegetarian restaurant and eat your heart out and if you want a snack have a small salad
