Hi, i'm 42 can you tell me how beneficial walking is when trying to lose weight? i walk approximately 12 miles a week. how soon can i expect results?

Walking is GREAT !: You burn about 100 calories per mile and it takes 3,500 calories to lose a pound. Results will depend on how many calories you burn versus how many you eat.
