I walk around my house and all I have right now are my step calories for weight loss since I am sidelined from the gym.2

Walking isn't my only form of exercise but its my only form of "cardio". I take my dog for walks. You can lose weight without any exercise at all actually. Good job and keep it up!1

My ortho doc sidelined me. I have tendonitis and have to take it easy a few weeks.1 -

I walk at least a 3k every day. I listen to my audiobook as I walk, it's really relaxing and fun. As for how it effects weight loss, well... my daily walk only gives me 150 extra calories to eat, so it doesn't make a big difference.3

I walk and hike as my only exercise. I started off in June walking a half mile at probably 2 miles an hour. Today I walked 4 miles at over 3 mph. I want to eventually walk 5 miles a day, but am currently pushing myself to go faster instead of longer.0

I lost 80 pounds doing no other exercise besides walking. I walk at a very brisk pace, when I started I could only manage 1 mile but now I am doing 3-5 miles a day. I like walking because it helps me destress and relax. I have in the past few months incorporated other exercises into my routine but only because I can't always count on the weather to get a walk in outside and my treadmill died.2

When I started years ago I wasn't doing anything...still had results because I was eating in a deficit...started walking everyday so that I could eat more and still lose weight...which I did. Spent a couple of months just walking before I started a C25K program. 5 years later I'm an avid cycling enthusiast and try to get in 50+ miles per week...1

I've lost 20 pounds since July with just walking on the treadmill inconsistently. It's all been counting my calories. My ticker says I've only lost 13, and I'm not sure how that got messed up. I changed my email address and such and don't know how that was effected, but it's not reading right. But you can do it!

I walked by the softball field, so I joined another team. Sometimes I run because I feel like it. You'll notice as your energy increases, you'll want to do more.
By the way, I really hate running. I sometimes see others hating running also, while they're running. And I smile to myself because I know how much I've lost doing an exercise that brings me joy and not pain.
I started upping my walking and alternating jogging a few weeks ago, and it's been amazing how quickly my energy levels have risen. I've always kind of rolled my eyes at "sporty people" (I've got some father issues there), but I've got to admit that the endorphin rewards are real. Not getting sweaty during shorter walks is quite nice as well. Or getting out of breath climbing a flight of stairs. Woo!0 -
Me.. I only walk. About 20-25 minutes during my lunch break at work Mon-Fri and then 4 night a week after dinner 30-40 minutes. I've lost 26lb doing this plus counting calories.1

Walking is my exercise. I try to do two miles each day..one on treadmill and one outside. Then hopefully I get another in in steps cleaning house, working, or whatever. Eating at a deficit and walking is how I lost.0

Walking and running have been my only two forms of exercise the last 2 months. It's been working but who knows if it'll continue to work or if i'll "plataeu".0
