I personally think you should start with 1 mile. If you start too high, go at this too strong, there's a higher chance that you will be frustrated if you can't make it 3 miles. Or if you start out with 3 miles but by the end of the week can barely do 1.

I would start walking 1 mile, and each week add another half mile. Or maybe speed up your walk. Change it up that way - walk 1.5 miles one day, then the next day walk 1 mile at twice the speed, and the next day shoot for 2.

I'm no professional though...just a thought.

i think the smart thing to do is do enough that u feel a little out of breath and that ur pushing your body to some degree. Walk at a faster pace and use an incline. 3 miles is really good tho, its more then i do. I do interval stuff cuz i get to bored to stay on one machine or do one thing for more then 20 minutes.
Good luck!

Yes, I think 15 miles walking per week is a great place to start. I would also have you begin some strength training to reshape your body as you lose lbs. of fat. There are plenty of exercises that you can do which uses your own body weight for building strength. Use this website to track your nutritional needs. A few small changes in lifestyle will make a huge difference! Don't get distracted or discouraged...keep going foreward.
