I have plantar fasciitis and was wondering what kind of exercises can I continue with. Can I do walking and lift weights?

Yes, that will help. My doctor also gave me some stretches to do where you point your foot back towards you then away and then back. Those help and walking with weights really helped. I lost some weight too and have not had a problem with my plantar fascititis in 2 years! Good luck. If you work at it you can see great improvement.
I would add that you should put some athletic tape across the bottom of your foot everyday to provide some support while it is healing. The tape should run from the heel to the ball of your foot. Put enough play in it to allow the arch to more some, but not bottom out.
