Fast walking is a great start...but how fast are we talking here? My mother lost probably 75lbs doing nothing else differently other than starting a racewalking (powerwalking) regimen with a friend of hers.
If you haven't been exercising much in the past, this could be a good starting point for you. Will you burn as many calories as you would if you hit a stairclimber, elliptical machine, or fast paced treadmill? No.
