Has anyone lost weight by walking?

I started walking and on days where the weather is so and so I walk indoors.

I walked myself right out of 50lbs!
Well, of course along w/ changing the way I eat & drink.

That's been my main form of exercise. I just started walking more and getting on the treadmill. I challenged myself to move the speed up on the treadmill from week to week. I took longer walks outside. I can walk much further and faster than I did 5 months ago.

The key is to keep pushing yourself. If you are walking outside, find routes with inclines and stairs to help build your leg muscles. I live in a hilly area and it's amazing what walking around my neighborhood has done for me. We have some wonderful walking trails in this area too.

Invest in a good pedometer and/or HRM so you know how many calories you are really burning.

Walking is great exercise if you keep at it.

Iv never done, just walking alone. I really dont know it would work for me though since Im used to really hard workouts??? I could be wrong. Im sure just like eating everyone is different. I do know PLENTY of people who have done very well with walking alone. I personally do not feel like walking is enough for me but hey maybe if I do it on my days off it will help boost my weight loss?

Walking is one of the best forms of exercise, and it is FREE.....I can't tell you the amount of money I have spent on all types of exercise DVD's..I always go back to the walking..Leslie Sanson has some great DVD's for walking..Just get out there and do it..Eat right and drink lots of water, and you should be well on your way to losing weight..Good luck to you..You will do well...

I lost almost 50 lbs by doing no other exercise than walking. And of course controlling my calories.

The majority of my weight loss has been through diet and walking.

Well it's better than holding the couch down! Lots of people never move, if they can help it.....

I have been using Leslie Sansone's videos to walk with and well my ticker speaks loudly! Happy walking!

When I first started losing weight, I'd walk 2.8 miles once and then twice a day around my neighborhood. Lost 17 pounds doing that. Then I started to watch what I ate and added different exercises.

Yep, I lost my first 80 pounds doing nothing more than walking (and watching what I ate). So, yes, yes, yes! Keep on walking! :happy:

I lost the first 65 pounds or so by doing only power walking. And I mean 4.5+mph on am incline with 1lb weights on my wrists for 3 miles at a time. I would not classify those workouts as 'just' walks.

I brisk walk everyday, I have added jogging. I walk about 40-70 mins per day.
