Can increasing my physical activity alone help me lose weight?

yeah sure, If you don't change your calorie intake, increasing your activity alone can result in weight loss. Most controlled studies show a modest weight loss (usually 4 – 6 pounds) resulting from increasing activity alone. If you increase your activity and decrease the number of calories you take in, you will see a faster loss than with increasing activity alone. Starting an activity program during weight loss is essential, not only for the weight loss phase, but also (and more importantly) to maintain the loss.
