Don't over do it. Focus on your diet.

probably not but slashing your caloric intake would.

Yes! Walking is good for you! I walk at a 3.0 speed me being so short thats fast for my strides..

I started with walking and lowering my caloric intake and I've lost weight - any exercise will burn calories, whether it is enough to make up for eating too many calories depends on the amount you are eating and the amount of exercise! Exercise is great for other stuff though, feeling good, retaining muscle, being healthier and stronger...

i'm only 5'1 and i weigh about 147 my goal is to be 110 so i will walk an hour a day at a normal to fast pace and i will lose alot of weight that way and i'll eat very less and healthy

If you watch your diet too then yes, this will work at first.

But after a certain amount of time you will 'plateau' and your walking won't do anything anymore. At that point you'll have to change something to increase intensity (speed up, add weight, walk even longer, start jogging for 2 mins, etc).

Our bodies quickly adapt to physical activity so it's important to switch things up if you want to continue to see results.
