Walking a block or two from the car to the store aint gonna help lose weight. I barely lost weight at work and I average 5 miles a day and thats the minimum. I assume everyone else is averaging about the same at my job and we got some obese people.

Walking more provides cardiovascular benefits even in those who remain overweight. And, obviously, without the walking their weight could be even greater.

Weight gain often creeps slowly up on people in their adult life, and little behavior changes have large cumulative effects. The difference in caloric expenditure of taking the stairs (single flight) vs taking the elevator every day at work or at home adds up to 1-2 lbs annually.
