keep it up man. and don't go lazy, walk every day 
We're here to cheer you, let's see how you look after a month, or let's say after six months :D
This is my (almost) daily routine:
-30-40 minute excericebiking (set on the toughest level) and lifting hand weights at the same time (I'm always really really swetty after this)
-random amount of pull ups during the day (but always in sets of at least 15 repetition, depends on how tired my arms are)
-different kind of ab excercises
-don't know what this is called in english:
+ Show Spoiler +but I do them too in sets of 20 few times a day
I'm not trying really to lose weight or trying to get oversized muscles, just work out at home to keep myself fit for the ladies  and as a student the gyms are too expensive here for me.
i'm about 173cm/68kg

nice man keep it up! your doing a good job.

This entirely depends on his muscle mass vs bodyfat%.
He does sound skinny but there's nothing wrong with losing excess fat.
You are all thinking in american sizes I think.

Nice start and good luck. I have to second the people saying various forms of cycling is good. It is really easy on the body and you can easily hold a fatburning heartrate for hours even as a novice. Dowside is price (assuming you want something that wont break right away) plus the swedish climate. I guess cross country skiing is good too but kinda hard to learn. Atleast I think it is hard to learn coz I've been skiing since I was a kid so it's kinda hard to tell.

Walking 5,5km in 50 minutes burns about 250 calories per kilometer for me being as heavy as I am. I am going to start swimming aswell, but saying it's not helping me at all to burn around 1250 calories extra a day just isnt gonna cut it. And I'm not looking for a fast weightloss. I'm looking to drop 1-2 kg per week. That way I get a controled weightloss while I'm changing my everyday bad habits. By taking it slow until I lose enough weight so I can start to run I'm giving myself a better chanse then if I go out, swim for 3-4 hours a day, lose alot of weight and then fall back into the same trap again.
Oh and walking is exercise.
You are very mistaken about how many calories walking burns. I would say you burn about 300 kcal (tops) all in all walking 5,5 km at decent pace if you weigh 100 + kg. Definately not 250 kcal per km. Hell, when I run 10km I burn about 800-900 kcal.
Yeah, swimming is good so definately take that up. You will get in shape in no time if you swim and eat well.
Walking is imo not really exercise unless you walk at a fast pace for like an hour. The term exercise when talking about cardio should be reserved for something that actually makes your heart pump fast and that tires you. Walking is something natural that everyone should do in their daily lives.
But of course you have to start somewhere and walks are a good start!

If OP isn't used to physical activity walking is probably not a bad way to start at all. Swimming is ideal as it should avoid the injury risks of running. It is like load free exercise.
Edit: Oh well now you go and change it and make my post irrelevant! :p

I've started on walking too (since I am unable to do running due to that health problem.) You're definitely doing a more comprehensive job than I am! Good luck and keep at it.

Relative to sitting in a chair and eating burgers all day, yes it's excersise. Relative to running/swimming it isn't. I should have been more clear on that.
Oh and ignore scyper and Shallow. I mean if you want to lose weight and not just listen to the circlejerkers telling you you're a hero for walking.
There's plenty of people who walk the same distance in a week as you just as part of their daily routines - i.e. from the building to the parking lot.
I don't want to diminish your efforts, because it takes a lot of willpower to start (it took me 3 years to start weight training - lol), but I'll reserve my praise for when we see progress here 
PS: like Foucalt said, swimming is a great way to start, because you arent likely to get any joint injuries or split shins or w/e that you might have from running.

back off julmust is my weightloss buddy ^^
edit for my update:
No picture this week I forgot my camera at work lol but in addition to playing table tennis for 2 hours a day 4 days this week I played 3 on 3 basketball for an hour and a half.
Current weight: 156.0lbs(70.76kg)
Overall Goal: 140lbs(63.50kg) I'm really looking to just burn my excess fat if I end up weighing closer to 150 with more muscle I won't be bothered by that.
Height:5 feet 7 inches(1.70 meters)
Next Week's Goals: I have a huge research paper to get done by Thursday so I really don't think I can exercise much this week so being realistic if I can lose 2 lbs(.9kg) by next Sunday I will be happy.
edit #2 this post turned me into a zergling from a lowly drone!!!!!!!!

You actually burn roughly the same number of calories walking for a given distance as running, it simply takes longer. Obviously running is better for your heart health/lung capacity/cardiovascular system, but in terms of purely losing weight, it's the distance that matters.
Obviously, if you're cutting for a bodybuilding show or something walking is even better since with less intensity you're more likely to be burning fat. In OP's case I don't really think it matters much.

OP should be weighing himself regularly as well

wow you're fat
keep it up man the second week is always the hardest

Dude I can't speak to why the others reacted as they did to your post, but I got really upset but not because what you are writing, but because you come into the topic like this:
FUCK YOU MAN YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT THE FUCK YOU ARE DOING, YOU NEED TO FUCKING START RUNNING CAUSE RUNNING IS LIKE DA BOMB MAN
and I don't listen to people like that, and your statement about "running 5 minutes is better then walking for an hour" is just a uneducated guess from your side. there are alot of people who chose walking to LOSE WEIGHT, you're confusing what I'm trying to do with getting in shape, ie. improving my stamina or building muscles, that's not what I am aiming for here. What I am aiming for is to lose weight, I have no intention what so ever to start going to a gym to shape my body.
Now since you seem to be into "weight-training", as you so nicely put it, let me ask you this: if I wanted long muscles instead of short bulky ones, what would you reccomend?
Nevermind, shit was a rethorical question, the answer is: work out longer but with lower intensity. Same goes for losing weight: I need to stay active for a longer period of time. walking slower might actually IMPROVE the amount of calories I'm burning.
So please gtfo out my blog, I don't want "circlejerks" but I definatly don't want assholes like yourself around.

holy god julmust just went super saiyan on sadist. Seriously though please keep your comments on target I think it's kind of mean for all of the "You're Fat" jokes in here he knows he's overweight he doesn't need you guys to be fucks about it the whole point is to show the process of him losing weight and hopefully it will encourage others to actually lose weight. It already worked for me.
julmust isn't julyzerg be nice

He explicitly stated that his knees wouldn't be able to handle running at this point. It's a logical progression that you have to make in order to improve. What seems like nothing to you has a great chance of being relatively difficult to someone without your training background.
I bet you the huge-ass mofuckas in your gym don't look at you, grunting when you're squeezing out those last few reps on the bench, and secretly think 'what a pussy i do twice that in my sleep', because by that point they realize that everyone starts somewhere.
My dad is overweight. He wouldn't be able to run, if he tried he'd probably hurt himself, so he goes for daily walks. It's waaay better than nothing.
If you increase your calories burned and decrease calories consumed, you will lose weight. It's that simple. It doesn't matter if you're running marathons or masturbating with the intensity of a thousand burning suns, you will lose weight if your caloric intake is less than the amount you are using up.

fine no more standing up for julmust in this thread by iSin make as much fun of him as you want I guess -_____-

I'm here to tell you that masturbating with the intensity of a thousand burning suns doesn't help as much as you might think.

Going by this, 50 minutes at 4mph (5.5km/50min in mph) at 300lbs burns 585 kcal. So it definitely makes a difference.
Dietwise I'd suggest counting calories, not to force yourself to stay under some set amount, but just to make that 700 calorie burger a little less appealing.
Good luck! (Not that luck has anything to do with it. Just stick with it and you'll get there :p)
