Has anyone successfully lost weight by simply walking?

Asked by ItalianPrincess1217 (11979points) September 23rd, 2013 from iPhone

I’m no fitness expert but I know a thing or two. I know diet plays an important role in losing weight but exercise does too. Jogging and any high impact exercise has been an issue for me because I have painful bunions. Walking is doable with the right sneakers. I’m wondering if I can effectively shed pounds by walking everyday. At the gym I noticed 99% of the people on treadmills are walking and not running. And most of these people have great bodies. So I figure they must be doing something right. Any success stories with walking and losing weight?
