I usually run during my lunch break but temporarily can’t due to a small injury. I bought a desk for my treadmill so I can walk while working. Will I still lose weight by just walking (on top of calorie deficit)? I just feel like I don’t get out of it as much as running

Eat less, maintain a caloric deficit. There’s absolutely no reason to not lose.

losing weight is about a calorie deficit. you won’t burn as many calories walking as running but you’ll still burn calories. and eat slightly less. there’s no magic.

I feel like after running so much over a long period of time it has changed the appearance of my stomach and slimmed down my waist though and I’m afraid it will all come back by just walking

I walk, i don’t run. It’s still beneficial and has helped with weight loss. You still burn calories and can walk the same distance as running it, will just take you more time.

Walking might not feel as satisfying as a run or burn as many calories but I think when working around an injury it’s still useful in keeping active and it is after all only temporary. I was a runner who developed a stress fracture last fall, it was bad enough that it took me from the end of September until the end of December to even get approved to start running half a mile twice a week, i was also not allowed to do any lower body exercise during that time. I supplemented my runs with kneeling or sitting strength training and boxing. If you’re looking for a way to get your heart rate up it could be worth trying! Best of luck!

Wondering if anyone struggles with a similar problem I do - I was a volleyball player/serious athlete from 10 until I finished playing my senior year of college. I then worked as a full time volleyball coach/assistant director of operations for a super competitive club in south Florida. I changed career paths for stability and money increase, but now I find when I’m super stressed at work I avoid the gym. I normally go 4-6 days per week and consider it an outlet, but now seems to add stress.
