losing weight is a TWO pronged process.
1)Exercise
2)Eating right.
It is possible to run 15 miles a day and still gain weight. How? By eating more than you are expending.
You are doing the exercising half of the equation....stick with it!
And, with weight watchers (usually an excellent program btw) you are doing the eating half of the equation.
Is it enough? Probably....unless you stop walking....or, unless you start eating too much.
Keep vigilant about both....it will work.
A good friend of mine has lost 48lbs and looks GREAT and feels great. It works!

Perfect. It will work. BUT, you must continue to walk every day after you lose the weight. you might hit a plateau, so you might have to up your excercise,as in walk 5 km, and do some weight training.
try green tea, it raises your metabolism, and is very healthy. good luck.

very first you should consult your doctor
you have to walk 30 to 45 minutes
next the very best thing is to walk early in the morning
in empty stomach because you will burn more fat calories and you have to do little weight training to tone your muscle.
you should eat a healthy diet and drink lot of water
all the best

A FEW THINGS TO REMEMBER:
The correct way to burn fat and stay healthy is to burn more calories than you consume
You need to make sure you are eating healthy foods while still excercising
If you have a big appetite drink plenty of water so that you will feel full but not consume calories
But you should always eat
If you start to skip meals you will only be more hungry at your next meal and probably eat way too much
Remember, the average persons stomach is as big as a slice of pizza scrunched up into a ball
So you shouldnt be putting more food into your stomach than what fits
Also, it takes aproximately 15-20 minutes for your brain to realize that you are full
so eat slower and you will realize sooner when you are not hungry anymore
ALSO....
i found this artical called "50 Habits of "Naturally Thin" People
How to get Started:Decide how much you want to loose and see how many calories a day it will take to make it happen by year's end.Then, work into your routines however many of these eating tweaks and exercises you need to achieve your goal.
Slash 250 cal.s a day to lose about 25 lbs. in a year, Slash 500 cal.s to loose 50 pounds.
This is based on a 150-pound person: you may need to cut more/ fewer calories depending on ur weight, age & gender. It also assumes your normal calorie intake essentially stays the same and your weight is stable.
