I lost 40 pounds last Dec-Mar just incline walking. Didn't realize how heavy I had gotten but stepped on the scale and had hit 255. I'm just shy of 6'2" so I wasn't a blimp but definitely fatter than I should be. Stopped eating like shit and did 3 miles a day on the treadmill at 4mph pace and 6% incline. I'm not sure how accurate Apple Watch trackers are but I was burning bw 5-800 calories doing that alone.
I eventually wasn't getting my heart rate high enough after doing that for a few months so I started running on the treadmill and worked up to running the 3 miles rather than incline walking. Hated it but it was a means to an end. Never did catch the running bug though.
I like the controlled aspect of the treadmill by being able to manage the incline and pace. If I was just walking at a slower pace and flat, I'd do it outside and skip going to a gym.
