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.

The calorie tracker on Apple Watches are not even close to accurate. They do track your heart rate and sleep patterns really well though. It also helps as a nudge to workout or move around if you’re not a morning workout person.
Good job on the weight loss. Just keep moving, every day. You’ll never regret it afterwards but you will regret not doing it if you don’t.
