Bear in mind that you will likely notice diminishing returns as your body adapts to the same walking routine. The weight loss won't be linear. You might shed 5 or 10 pounds (over God knows what time frame) and then notice the 2 miles of walking isn't doing much else. The body only adapts when it's faced with a challenge. Once you get good at that 2 miles, it won't need to adapt much further.
And for the record, everyone needs my sanctimonious crap, so you're going to get it anyway. I have to keep my fragile ego intact somehow.
