I have a knee injury, and I'm sick of being fat! I've gone back to counting calories, keeping them around 1200. I can't do much exercise because of my knee, so I've taken to walking. Anyone had great results just by walkind and eating right?

When I first started trying to lose weight, ALL I could do was walk. I did it A LOT. My first 50 lbs can be attributed to walking and diet only. But, as you get better, increase your speed and add hills. It's very rewarding.0

40 lbs so far here! I am finally starting to be able to jog some. Today my NSV was that during my mile and a half walk I was able to jog about half of it which is a huge accomplishment.
Don't underestimate the benefits of walking, though, they are many.0 -
Hi there! The first time I lost weight in my 20's I only did walking but I walked at least an hour a day and as I got fitter I picked up the pace. It's also important to have a good pair of shoes if you have problems with your knees. I haven't been at my goal weight since then and I did have a lot of time on my hands at the time so that probably helped as well!!0

I have lost over 140lbs by eating healthy and walking on my treadmill and I also have a bad knee. Over time I was able to increase my speed and incline. So, yes it can be done! Good luck0

Walking is pretty much the only exercise I do, I'm really not a gym person. I've lost quite a bit of weight over time, I've noticed that my endurance is higher then what it used to be. I try to extend my walks for about an hour to an hour and a half and depending on the area I walk, I try to do some inclines, but with your knee you may want to take it easy on hills.0
