Answers:
If you keep your calories down and do this every day you will see results in the first week. You will feel better and notice your clothing will start fitting better very quickly. But keep up the pace. Just strolling isn't as effective as walking fast. And once you start to level out you will have to either speed up or walk further to continue to lose. Walking is a great form of exercise. I wish you luck.Health Question & Answer

Walking is a good start, but you can seriously cut down the 2 hour a day plan that you have if you start to run. You definately won't be able to run for long periods of time right off the bat, but you can do intervals. For example week 1: jog 2 minutes then walk 3 minutes for 30 min. week 2: jog 3 minutes walk 2 minutes for 30 min. week four: jog 4 minutes walk 1 minute for 30 min. week 5: jog 5 min. walk 1 min for 30 min until you can jog 30 minutes straight (all of these can be done 3-5 times a week) . Once you can do that I suggest you look at a site like: http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_4/...Health Question & Answer
