    To lose one U.S. pound (.454 kg), you must burn 3,500 more calories than you take in as food. A 200 lb person would burn about 636 calories for 1 hour of jogging. So you would need to do about 5 1/2 hours of jogging.

    ( I reckon there are a lot of other variables here though like how much and what you eat and your metabolism. I’m trying to loose 5 lbs myself and run three days a week but weight loss is never simple math)
