I also suggest eating alot less :)

Hope all goes well

CAN YOU LOSE WEIGHT WALKING

Yes, you can lose weight by brisk walking, It burns calories while you are exercising and for a while afterwards.

Brisk walking to lose weight is mild cardio exercise, whereas running is intense cardio. Unlike running, walking it is less hard on your body and it is sustainable long term. The number of calories burned walking depends on your age, your weight, your degree of fitness, your body composition, and where you are walking (flat ground or incline) as well as how far you are walking and how fast you are walking.

Walk every other day or simply walk three times weekly. This will give your body time to rest and adjust. Today, for example, go for a walk at the best pace you can manage until you are comfortably tired. Note how far you walked. The day after tomorrow, go for another walk but increase the distance slightly. Continue walking every other day until you are walking 4 miles.

Once you are able to do that, slightly increase your pace with each walk until you are walking those 4 miles in just under 1 hour every other day. This will burn many extra calories during and immediately after your walks. Walking is wonderful exercise. It is quintessentially human. Moreover, you can do it indoors on a treadmill or outdoors, whichever you prefer.

If you have not been engaging in regular walking exercise, it is important to start slowly. You can gradually build up your pace and distance. It is important to do cardio exercise at the right intensity. This should be not too low and not too high.
