Will I lose weight running?

(Sorry for posting this question again, but I got no answers reffering to the question I've asked) I’ve started running after a too long break, and after I’ve made about all possible mistakes as a runner. I’m following this beginners’ plan that I’ve found on runnersworld.com. I’m also trying to lose a few pounds, I used to go to the gym, but when running four days a week I can’t seem to fit it into my schedule… How many calories (approximately) am I burning? I'd like to know so I’ll decide whether or not it’s enough or that I need to add more aerobics. I’m 18 y.o, 5.1 inches tall and weight about 110 pounds. Thanks in advance! 10-WEEK TRAINING SCHEDULE Week 1 Run 2 minutes, walk 4 minutes. Repeat 5 times. Week 2 Run 3 minutes, walk 3 minutes. Repeat five times. Week 3 Run 5 minutes, walk 2.5 minutes.

1. Yes.
2. walking is much better for you,for a start you do less damage to your body.walk for at least 1 hour 5 days per week,you will loose about the same amount as running,how much,i don't know.walk at a brisk pace,through in a few hills,as long as you can talk normally and don't run out of breath this is the way to go.of course i don't have to tell you,but watch what you eat.good luck

4. No, not with this little. walking is a lot better for the knees with the same positive effect of weight loss. Walk a mile every morning and stick to 3 meals a day with absolutely no eating after 9 oclock and you'll be good
5. for sure running burns off the calories...slowly but it still works great! u can stick to that routine u have there or set out certain distances and increase them as you go along. when u run make sure u find a trail or a route around the neighborhood so that ur running is uninterrupted by turning around every 5 min. and going the other way. the first 2 weeks or so might make ur legs "burn" but after that ull be so used to it and can push ur self harder. remember to stretch beforehand too and bring a bottle of water with u. listening to music also makes the time pass really quickly. but at least 30 minutes a day of running will get u on the road to weight loss. good luck!
