Walking as a diet/excercise plan??

I started brisk walking 3-4 miles in the evening, this is my first time on a diet (I'm 22y/o 5'4 & 155lbs) and I have tried to cut back on carbs and really want to tone up. I guess i dont care if I dont lose that much weight if I was more tone and not so flabby.
Apparently I wasn't one of the lucky ones after having a baby! lol. And i want my body back.
I cannot go to a gym ($$) and I need a cheap/free way to do this so i figured taking and hour and half brisk walk would do the trick???
I was wondering if you could possibly share experiences with me and let me know that im not wasting my time on this and possibly if there is anything that i could do while brisk walking to have a more positive effect on me. :)

Thanks so much and I greatly appreciate all the help I can get!!!

Walking is an excellent way to lose weight.
In addition to that you should watch what you eat.
Drink plently of water and try to eat dinner early.
Cut down on things like ice cream.
Replace that with something like 100% fruit juice popsicles.
After you've walked eat something healthy such as an orange.
I hope this helps and good luck !

Walking is excellent exercise.
Be consistent and stay with it - I bet you see positive results very quickly.
Its worked for me...

Generally for someone your age, just walking is not going to cut it. Scientists have recently proved the theory that walking burns fat more than running is actually wrong when considering young people. Sure, when you are older, walking is fine. But at a younger age, your body needs higher intensity training to actually burn considerable fat. You are not wasting your time, but if you want real results, you need a more aggressive workout to really "get your body back." Good luck to you!
