Not really. Running one mile may take you something like 10 minutes, so you're looking at a 150 calorie usage tops, probably quite a bit less.

That really won't be noticeable, unless you ALSO have a very controlled diet going.

I have been running 5 miles a day for the past 7 months, every single day, never missed a day. And I eat anything and everything I want. After the first 3 months of running I started losing weight and very fast. I went from 245 to 195 in the 7 months. Here is what I ate/drank yesterday... Breakfast - Cinnamon Bun, Banana, Coffee Lunch - Two burritos with sour cream and salsa and half a can of corn. Dinner - Half a steak, a pork chop, half a potato, 2 pieces of all dressed Pizza, half a bag of corn chips. Other - 8 beers. (usually every day) This is pretty well how it goes EVERY SINGLE day. Here is the calories I am supposed to eat every day: 2816. Here are the calories from the list I gave above: 4120 I run exactly 5 miles every day, I am in great shape, very toned and am starting to see my abs. So for ME, I can pretty well eat ANYTHING and not even worry about it. It's AWESOME. And the list above is pretty much the same every day, give or take a few hundred calories, but ALWAYS over my limit. I haven't gained or lost any weight in the last few months, have always kept even. Oh, I also drink TONNES of water, not sure if that helps.

How much weight can a person lose in a half mile walk?

Walking a half mile is a great "little boost," but you're not going to lose any weight. Your weight, height, gender, exercise level and caloric intake are huge factors. If you walk a half mile to Dairy Queen...I mean, come on...no weight loss. If you factor in a half a mile a day with proper diet and (additional exercise) you will lose weight....slowly. Good luck.

Would you lose more weight walking or running a mile?

1) one mile is too short to have any important weight loss effect regardless what you do. 2) calorie use running vs walking a set distance is pretty much the same. Running uses more calories per time, but you do the distance faster. Walking use less calories per time, but doing the distance takes longer, so it comes out about even.
