Has anyone actually lost weight by walking? I am trying to walk a little more everyday since it is summer time in New York City. I was working out at home, then I just got a little bored and distracted so I would rather walk. It makes me feel a lot better, and I get a chance to get some fresh air (while listening to my music).

Yes and no. As you mentioned diet is important.
Walking can be good for weightloss, but to truly be effective it has to be done at a challenging pace. If you are just strolling along it isnt going to do that much for you. If your arms are pumping, your breathing is heavy and your heart is beating faster then it can do great things. Walking is like all other exercise - you get out what you put in
Join the challenge! You dont even need to wait until June if you want to set a goal for the rest of the week go for it.
Yup, just pick a target # of miles and report in when you can (some people report every time they run/walk, sometimes a few days pass by and several runs are reported)
