Your personal burn rate will be dependent on a lot of things, but let's say a 30 minute run uses up around 300 calories. In food, that's about 2/3 of a cupcake's worth of calories.

A well accepted average states that you need to lose about 3,500 calories to lose one pound.

So if your eating is SPOT ON, then 30 minutes of running daily would lose you one pound every 12 days or so.

If your eating ISN'T spot on - maybe you're eating, say a cupcake's worth of calories MORE than what you actually need, then you won't lose any weight, despite the running.

So you see, any serious attempt at weight loss has to start with getting your eating well under control.
