depends on how much you weigh and what you eat along with the walking. you wont loose weight exercising if you dont balance it with the right foods. I know the more you weigh the more calories you burn.

Walking is about 300 cals/hour, and the general guideline is that 3500 calories burned equals one pound. So in theory, about 230 hours of walking would lose you one pound.
But in reality, it's not as simple as that.
The math above will only work if your eating is pretty much spot on to start with.
Let's say you're overeating with 1000 cals/day.
That's easy enough, it's only about two cupcake's worth of calories.
Now you'd need about 3 hours of walking just to get back to square one for that
day. To create any weight loss, you'd have to keep walking.
So, assuming you manage to get your eating(your calorie allowance) right to start with, walking one hour daily would give you a good chance of losing 20 pounds in 8 months
Or you can cut back a bit more on your diet and be done a fair bit faster.
