I am married to a doctor who is constantly on his feet all day running around and he still managed to gain 30 pounds in our marriage because your body does get accustomed to that movement - so though it's good that you are not sitting - it doesn't burn a whole lot of calories.  The 6 pounds you lost is alot of bloat or water and then some component of fat stores is also a part of it.  I'm not sure which ww program you chose - but everyone's metabolism works differently and the walking you are doing also promotes heart health, lowers cholesterol helps to prevent diabetes - so please, please keep the walking going and build up to longer walks slowly and more "effort" during the walk so you raise your heart rate and burn more calories.  At some point get motivated and add weight training which will help re up your metabolism more AND add muscle mass - the walking is not building alot of muscle - it is more "aerobic" if you are really moving along and it will help you with bone density.   The 4-5 meals a day is fine as long as each meal is about 300 calories - you need to really make sure those meals are not tempting you to eat more than that.   An outline of 4 meals should look like: 2 hard boiled eggs/1 piece of fruit/1 60 calorie yogurt   1 cup high fiber cereal with skim milk, 1/2 cup berries, 1 tsp ground nuts   large salad with 3 ounces shredded white meat chicken and 1/4 avocado with fat free dressing (2 tsp) - iced tea   3 ounces fish, 1 cup steamed veggies, 1/2 cup brown rice, 12 grapes - water   Lots of water throughout the day This is just a sample outline to give you an idea of portions and size of meals.
