ZERO, you would burn up about 40 calories and that's about it. You'd need to do a whole lot more walking than this to burn a pound.

Strictly depends on your current fitness, diet, weight and body fat %. If you jog 4 miles a day at a reasonable pace, say 4 miles in half an hour, 5 days a week for around 6-8 months I can almost guarantee that you'll be fit and slim if you have a balanced diet. At the end of the six months you should be able to reduce your time to around 20mins.
Be warned though, jogging puts a lot of stress on the knees especially if you're over 200ish pounds and you might want to alternate jogging and swimming/cycling/rowing just to give your knees a little recovery time between jogs and jogging also tends to build up your calves more than anything else. Stay away from rowing if your don't want to build muscle, albeit perfectly balanced and pretty much the fastest way to get fit and lose weight. Or cycling if you don't want thunder thighs.
Jogging can be a bore and a huge chore if you jog the same route over and over, so mix it up, don't jog the same distance everyday, and don't just stick to paths or roads, try places like the beach, this reduces the impact on your joints and is quite exhausting along dry sand. Best of all, get a jogging partner. No better inspiration than trying to avoid looking lazy and skipping the days you just don't feel like it, because eventually you'll quit.
Hope this helps.
If you eat a full meal, wait 1 hour, then jog the whole 1 hour non stop.... 1 pound.
