Is walking good for losing weight?

So I just started walking… 16 year old 125kg.
Wore comfortable clothes, had my iphone for music and a water bottle walked for 45mins (do 45mins everyday), is that good enough for losing weight if I do it every week? And I broke my arm a few months ago so can't really do much. After walking what light exercise can I do that won't involve my arm for now?

15-20 mins burns 100 cals. Do one hours walking and you could burn quite a bit.
I prefer mountain climbing

It's great that you're getting out there and doing exercise and this will help improve your physical and mental well being but on its own it won't be enough to help you lose any significant amount of weight. Say you were to burn 300 calories each time you went out for a walk, and you did this four times a week, you would burn a total of 1200 calories.

Now given that one kilogram of fat contains 9000 calories, it would take over seven weeks to lose a kilo of bodyweight! Many people believe that exercise is the main way to lose weight but this is just not true unless you are doing significant amounts. The most effective way to lose weight is to understand and manage your dietary intake.

  • What is the same shape as an iPhone? And weight? Please help, I bought my Mum an iPhone for mothers day, and the delivery man came with it this morning while I was at college, and my Mum got it. She didn't open it but she immediately thought it was a mobile, so the surprise I had lined up has gone. What is the same sort of shape, and weight as an iPhone 4 which I can go out and get to trick her into thinking that is what I had bought?

  • Is there an app thats like a weight loss aid, but instead for gaining weight? I know its weird to see a question thats the opposite of societys wishes but i have a BMI of 16.6, which a healthy one is around 18.5. I know they have iphone/android apps that help people who are trying to lose weight, which include a tracker which foods youve eaten and how much exercise youve done. I'm looking for an app thats similar, but for gaining weight I need something like that for assistance, your help is very much appreciated
