After you have finished a few minutes of warmup strolling, gradually increase to a brisk pace (as if you were late for work). A "brisk" walk is different for everyone. I depends on your particular physical condition. Don't over do it if you've been inactive for a long time.
You will know if you are at "your own pace" if you are capable of talking while you walk. If you don't have enough breath to talk, you are overdoing it. If you are walking by yourself, I'm sure you don't want people to think you are a nut case talking to yourself as you're walking. Check your breathing every so often by humming or counting softly to yourself.
The sound of your breathing is another gauge of workout intensity. It's normal to breathe harder than usual during your walk, but you shouldn't be wheezing or gasping.
Walking can be fun. Find your pace that is comfortable for you. Find the amount of time you can walk comfortably. You will see them both increase as you continue to walk. Stick with it and you will see the pounds melt off.
I suggest using a Pedometer. It will count the steps you take. It's always nice to see in black and white exactly how much you've accomplished. It's good to keep track in a journal so you can see how you progress.
