You'll be losing some fat but also gaining muscle which weighs more then fat so when you step on the scale you'll be about the same weight. So just try walking around the block or whatever it will help you see better results faster. Sorry if i'm repeating someone else but i didnt really read every word of this thread. And good luck with your diet.

While walking is better than doing nothing at all it is not the best way to lose weight. You will not see better results faster with walking instead of building muscle. Find one article that says it does and send it to me if you want to make a point. If you want I will find you ten articles that prove mine.
It takes the average body 45 min to burn the fat in the bloodstream by walking. So while walking is better than nothing at all, 30 min a day will do little for weight loss.
onefastlx420- I agree strongly with your plan for working out. I think that people losing weight and those looking to gain should follow the same workout plan and that the diet should vary. I workout every day but usually only train two muscle groups. By going everyday not only do I get 10-15 of cardio everyday but I also keep my work outs 30-45 min.
silver pilate- "I don't want to lift weights because I don't want to look like bodybuilder" This is a huge pet peave of mine about fitness in general. What people don't understand is that you are not going to look like that unless you try really hard to. And even if you do try to look like Mr Olympia you probably won't. For most of them they really have to devote their life to it.
