Who here walks to lose weight

I just started to do this again. I use to walk about 6 miles a day and I would see results when I was eating well so I believe it depends on the person. My husband is a runner and he wont lose a pound if he walks.

I'm just trying to get motivated. I just started walking 90 minutes at a brisk pace 6 days a week. I'm also eating less and eating healthy. Will I lose weight? My goal is to lose 30 pounds by July. I'm currently 5'8" and weight 180 pounds.

You'll lose weight if you have a calorie deficit. Walking will burn some calories and help create that deficit.

^This. Your number of calories you eat is important. And walking will help.

i just lie down. usually 8 hours or more a day. sometimes on the couch or bed, or even on the floor. very relaxing and great for weightloss. true story.

80 to 90% of weight loss is your food intake. Create a deficit and you'll lose weight. Weight loss will happen in the kitchen, fitness happens in the gym, on the road, wherever. You have to get your eating right then the rest falls into place.

when i was walking 3 times a week for an hour each time i was losing all kinds of weight. as long as you can keep a pace that will increase your heart rate you shouldn't have a problem. walking isnt a big body changer but it does work in small ways that add up in the end. you will eventually notice the scale change it might just take a bit longer then if you were running or doing weights but walking is a great staple for exercising.

Dude, your 20. If you want motivation sign up for a 5k that is 10 months away, then start up couch 25k.

Also its what you eat that makes you loose weight, working out makes you cool.

YES YOU WILL, LOSE WEIGHT! KEEP DOING WHAT YOUR DOING AND THE WEIGHT WILL COME OFF! DON'T FORGET TO TONE IT UP!

I enjoy walking 100%. It compromises most of my exercises, since I can do it anywhere at anytime and I have a tight schedule during my college semester.

Focus on your food intake, and the quality of your food for the best results. If you like walking, walk. I would suggest incorporate heavy lifting with your light cardio and clean eating for great progress you can maintain.

The majority of my exercise is walking. I also lift weights and hula hoop but the bulk of it is walking. Seems to be working for me

I walk a lot, I don't 'work out', I try to build being more active into my day generally.

I've just got permission to use the internal stairs in my office block so I can avoid using the lift (elevator ), this pleases me a lot.

I deliberately skip a couple of convenient train stops on the post-work commute, gives me some exercise and time to unwind from the day.

I love walking, especially by the coast, sea air is good air ...

Most of my weight loss came from walking. I'm male, 32-years-old and started walking on March 30, 2012, everyday. I started with 30 mins, then quickly challenged myself and worked up to 60 mins a day. Then 60 mins became 4 miles, then 4 miles became 6. I eventually started alternating and walked one day and then weight trained the next and have continued this routine. When the time changed this year and it got dark earlier, I had to stop walking and switched to P90X Cardio for a cardio workout and continued to weight train. On the weekends, I still walk walk in the mornings - about a pace of 1 mile every 12 mins., walking 7 miles now. In these past 8 months, I have lost a total of 117 lbs., most of it from walking.

This is actually the second time that I lost weight from mainly walking. So, yes, you will lose weight by walking. I have read that walking is actually the best workout for weight loss and is better overall that running or jogging and you can maintain steady breathing and build muscle better by walking. It's also less stressful on your body.

One tip that I have is if you are going to make walking your exercise for weight loss, make sure you get out there and really get into it. That is, don't just go for "leisurely strolls" (LOL!) but really get out there and give it your all. Really make a workout out of it. Challenge yourself and keep moving. You don't have to get a wicked about it, but just keep pushing and keep moving. The weight will come off.

I do it.
