She had always been overweight her entire adult life.

She was also a yo-yo dieter, losing only to gain it all back plus some (sound familiar?).

She has kept it off for seven years.

How did she do it?

The Step Diet is said to be the premier healthy diet in the US even beating out the original diet kings Weight Watchers.

51-year-old Brenda Willis claims she is living proof of the effectiveness of this diet regime.

One of the big attractions for Brenda is that the so-called Step “diet” is in effect an exercise regime rather than a fad diet.

She says that she managed to drop well over one hundred pounds on the diet that requires no calorie counting or pill popping.

All you need to start the diet is one of those clever little pedometer gizmos & a decent pair of shoes to walk in.

Brenda started slowly in what she calls her “journey”. She began by taking 500 additional steps each day, in reality that is less than a five-minute walk.

She did her 500 steps every day for a week, the following week she added 500 steps taking her to 1000 for the second week. Then each subsequent week she added 500 more steps.

At the end of three months, she was covering 10,000 steps, which equates to around 5 miles a day. Depending on how fast you walk that will take you between one and one and a quarter hours each day.

For Brenda that added up to 140 pounds lost in 15 months, or a shocking average of nine pounds each month, and she still eats burgers.

    Thanks for posting this. I need all the encouragement I can get lately. I haven't been walking my 10000 steps or logging my food lately.

    Thank you. For your post.

I am reading the book for first time today from Library but have bought my pedometer already. A good one.

I have loss weight. I am not new in this but the last weeks. I did gain five pounds. So now. I have to learn to be active in order to get to my goal. To lose.

I love to walk but I also love to dance. So that will get my steps going again. Plus Walk.walk tape.

It is learning to balance to keep going to not gain. To not back slide into the old me. Too many health issues one can have.
I know that one.

So see what book has to offer me in the read.
