Not sure you can help me with this

Question
Hello, I am just curious about something.
I have always done a little exercising, I lift weights and stretch, along with crunches. (3-5 times a week on average)  I am also fairly active with daily activities, cleaning etc.
Recently my husband and I have been walking alot, a pedometer says I am walking about 9000 steps a day. (maybe more, we just got them) Our walks are on hilled roads, so they really use the muscle power at times.
I am a female,26 years old 5'6 145 pounds.  I eat a regular diet, not too much fat etc.
Since my husband and I have been walking I have noticed the pound or two I sometimes gained from over indulging is non existant.  I may have even lost a couple pounds.  
I have been eating the same sometimes even more.  Can walking really be this good for maintaning and losing weight?
Thanks.

Answer
Hi R,

Glad you have something you enjoy! Breathin' hard for @ 30 minutes a day gets you in touch with your body so it can tell you what to eat and when to quit painlessly. Also, muscle mass gets you burning calories when you are sitting still.

Resistance training is very important - I do a slow motion, no momentum, pure ripping muscle once a week, takes 20-30 minutes and I have found this more effective than conventional weight training 3x a week. Some say that is all you need to stay in shape, but I say you need some breathing hard to be healthy.
