Hi, welcome, and congratulations on your weight loss! And good for you for starting to get out and walk! I hope you will find some good support here. I sure have, although it's been really quiet lately.
Have you seen your doctor since you started losing weight and started doing some exercise? It might be a good idea to make sure there's nothing going on that would account for the symptoms you're experiencing.
Maybe it will just take some time to build up some strength and feel better while you're walking. You might also try some stationary exercise--doing some stretches, a little weight lifting (you can even start with just lifting a couple of cans of soup!), a yoga DVD, etc.
How old are your kids? Are there some fun physical things you could do with them? I personally think that if you haven't done anything physical for a while, anything that will get you moving is good--a little dancing, gardening, whatever you can do.
There are a couple of forum members here who are either personal trainers or are training to be personal trainers. I bet they'll have some good advice for you!
