    Have you run before? Are you just starting?

    If you are a beginner this is recipe for injury in my opinion.

    Running definitely burns a lot of calories. It helped me get back in shape fairly quick.

    If you're eating more calories than you burn, you could run every day and it wouldn't make a bit of difference. And there's no way to say definitively how long it is going to take to lose a certain amount of weight. It depends on how much you have to lose overall, your activity level, whether you are accurately calculating your food intake, uncontrollable physical characteristics like metabolism, etc. It's one thing to have a goal date in mind to keep you motivated, but you also need to consider that it might take longer.
