Is walking really that efficient compared to a gym membership though? An hour in the gym is equivalent to a lot more walking.

An hour in the gym is also an hour in the gym, while walking to the grocer serves not just fitness but also takes care of getting groceries.

You also save the money on gas/less wear on the car/gym membership.

I've never had a gym membership so I can't tell you what results I would have with that. However, I did once achieve 100 lbs of weight loss over 18 months where my primary exercise was walking.

Did this include dietary change?

Reduction in portion sizes, but no major change in items consumed. Biggest staple of my diet is pasta. High carb, high fat, lots of walking keeps me at normal BMI.
