weightloss with only walking??

Four months, 57 lbs so far.
I walk two miles to and from work, five days a week and walk about three-and-a-half miles every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at the gym with a 12% incline. I've recently started increasing this since about late February.

All in I walk about thirty miles a week with twenty of that being a leisurely pace where I don't break a sweat.

This, alongside a sensible diet, has been the key to my success.

Yes. I started walking and lost a lot of weight that way. It is still one of my favs. But at some point I wanted to start running which seemed crazy even to me. I completed c25k and ran a 5k on Thanksgiving and looking for more. I shared my story recently on the forum - here is the link. I lost 106 lbs and am less than 5 from goal and most of it was from walking and eating healthy. Diet is sooooo important in this.

Good luck!!!!

Edited to add: On the treadmill switch it up a little with mph/incline

My exercise is walking. I also got a treadmill for when the weather is poor. I kept my calorie intake lower than my burn and lost my weight in just a few months. Now I still walk and just eat a balance to maintain my weight. Works great!

My main exercise is walking on the treadmill 6 days a week or 60-70 minutes. Probably about 4 months ago I added in Pilates for 20 minutes 3x a week, and about 2 months ago I began some upper body strength training for 20 minutes 3x a week. I do the extra exercises for core strength and toning (Pilates for core and all over toning; strength training to get rid of my flabby arms and back,)
You could certainly lse all your wight walking, in my opinion.

Walking has been my primary source of exercise. I use the treadmill daily, Can't wait for the weather to get nicer to get more walks in outside!

I've lost my weight by walking and tracking everything going in the mouth.

When my mom was dedicated she lost 20lbs using just her treadmill or going for walks outside.

I have lost my first 40lbs by doing leslie sansone. Love.

I've lost all of my weight entirely walking, not on a treadmill mind, out in the great outdoors, rain or shine, wind, snow and hail. A treadmill would have been most welcome on the wind warning day of which we are under for the next few days! Get walking, watch your intake and you will succeed.

I lost most of my weight walking in the beginning. I then switched to dance classes at the gym and lost the remaining ten. I have tried everything under the sun in the past as I am the type who gains, loses, gains, loses.

The ONLY thing that has EVER worked for me is walking, walking, walking.

Val Bertinelli lost her weight walking only (with her diet). She only started weight training afterward for her model shoot for advertising.

Keep in mind - exercise to get fit, eat at a deficit to lose weight. The way you burn your calories makes no difference so long as you maintain a calorie deficit. You can lose all the weight you want without exercising at all and just tracking calories.

^^^ THIS, weight loss comes in the kitchen, fitness from exercise.

I have osteoarthritis in my knee so can't run, but CAN walk :-)

walk 4 days a week, static cycle the other 3

you burn roughly the same calories whether you walk, crawl or run, 3 miles is 3 miles, runners just get there quicker :-)

interval training, ie putting hills in is very good for you & burns 60% more than on the flat so a healthy mix is good.

AND you get to see the flowers, I LOVE WALKING

Anything that creates a calorie deficit will cause you to lose weight.

You will lose weight with only walking. It's a function of calorie deficit.
