I really don't think walking 1 hour a day is going to take 1 inch off
Actually I think you would be losing pounds before you would lose inches, so here is something I found:
HOW MANY many miles do you need to walk to lose 1 lb. of body fat in one day? The answer depends on certain conditions:
Your weight. The more you weigh the more calories you burn walking per mile; the less you weigh the fewer calories you burn per mile. The amount of calories you burn per mile is equal to double your weight in pounds divided by 3.5. For example, if you weigh 175 pounds, you burn 2 x 175 = 350 / 3.5 = 100 calories per mile. Since there are 3500 calories in 1 lb. of body fat, a 175-pound person needs to walk 35 miles. A 125-pound person burns about 71 calories per mile, and would need to walk 49 miles.
