@mayofeb2020 Granted, a taller person will walk further with the same number of steps, but I have a hunch that the shorter person is exerting an equivalent amount of energy in each step as the taller person, so that is why steps matter. I used to walk the indoor track at my health club and people would pass me who didn't seem to be walking very fast and then I realized that each of their strides was much longer than mine - I am currently 5'2.5". The taller person is probably exerting more energy because they have a larger mass to move but that becomes relative.
The worst part about being short is that it takes far fewer calories to maintain a healthy weight. I envy my 5"10" daughter-in-law.

“IN A BIKINI” WOW, really! I don’t suppose you took her picture? I wonder if she’d like to move to California?🤞
”I would ship a little loaf to you but it would be stale by the time you got it.”
Actually I'm okay with ”stale” but nowadays we have other options available besides wagon trains.
Well, I made the gruesome decision to go for the dreaded walk today and it took all the courage I had to make that decision. But I’ll go and I’m shooting for 1000 steps and hopefully more and Becky you mentioned if you walked 2 miles I’d send you a cookie but you didn't mention any specific distance I was required to walk to get my prize so @becsbuddy get that cookie in the mail! Sad to have to bribe someone to walk huh?
