I think if you do something a lot, it stops being useful (for shrinkage). A close friend of mine has been growing more and more rotund in recent years, and she walks miles. But she always has, and always at the same leisurely pace. Probably if she sped up, it would make a difference. I walk every day, but not necessarily long distances - I've found that if I need to shrink a little bit I double my distances or go faster, and that usually does the trick. Better than "dieting," though I will be watching my intake over the next few weeks.
