Exercise: Yes, absolutely walking can help lose weight. You may need to increase intensity of exercise as tolerated/allowed, however, to achieve weight gain. But proper eating and walking are a great start to your goal of losing weight.

Yes : This is an excellent way to lose weight. Talk to your neurologist regarding any precautions or limitations he may recommend on your activity given his or her assessment of your abilities with your parkinson's disease. Best wishes to you . You live in a beautiful town with great sidewalks and marvelous foliage. Enjoy!

Yes!: Especially if you have not been walking previously, adding this physical activity will help you lose weight. Being active can help you feel better emotionally too! doing some form of "burst" exercise training may help also, if your parkinson's symptoms allow this. http://tinyurl.com/mm6otje enjoy and be well!
