Strength training is a good idea too even if you just use free weights at home (I have 5 lbs). Unfortunately, I don't control my diet enough to lose weight. Usually, I just maintain but sometimes that is enough for me. Good luck with what you do.
Congrats on the weight loss!

Walking is a bit painful for me, too. I have osteoarthritis in my right knee and because of it, my right leg is a bit shorter than my left. Walking for long distances results in serious hip pain after awhile, so I can't do the kind of walking that would be truly beneficial. I love throwing weights around and am looking into kettlebells - have you tried those?
