I work at a prison. Before I start my weight was 190 with me wearing 16 in pants. Now I'm down to a12 size. Everyone say I look good with the weight loss. Which I 've been trying to lose some anyway. I'm 56 yrs old.

No.
Exercise is great for our physical health and state of mind, but it has a disappointingly small effect on weight loss. When it comes to shedding pounds, it is what we eat that counts most.

Hello Anonymous,

Welcome to EmpowHER.

Yes, using the stairs is indeed a good part of a daily exercise plan to lose weight and you are proof.

Keep up the good work,
