Yearly weight loss if all your other activities remain constant will be: calories burned during one hour at your walking speed 318 X 1 = 318 times 52 weeks (gives the number of calories per year) = 16,536 calories divide by 3,500 (number of calories in a pound of blubber) 3,500 for your yearly weight loss of 4.7 pounds. Increase pace to 4 miles per hour, for 90 minutes per week, and the numbers become: 1.5 x 366 = 549 x 52 = 28,548 calories or 8.16 pounds.
The average calorie burn for one mile of walking or running is 100. For each mile walked, if done so for 52 weeks, you’ll lose about 1.5 pounds. By this method, the 3 mph, 60 minutes per week person would lose 4.5 pounds. Heavier people will burn more calories of course. These numbers come from http://healthyideas.com/weight/bonfire/
