Has anyone lost weight while training for a half-marathon?

I have just started running for the first time in a long time and I would like to run a half-marathon exactly one year from today. I started walking and running yesterday and was just curious if anyone has done this? How long did it take and what was your pre-training program like? Thanks!

I ran my first 1/2 marathon last year and will start training again soon, i was not a runner at all, but was in shape from high school wrestling, i ended up losing 15 lbs, probably getting down to about 6.5% body fat. I ate alot of subway too. i started off a mile a day, and eventually got up to an 8 mile loop once a week (other days about 2 or 3 miles) after getting in a few 9 mile runs, i ran the Columbus 1/2. in all training was about 200 days. be careful you dont start too early because you’ll get burnt out, you’ll be surprised how fast you get in shape, good luck !

p.s. if you enjoy running outside, try www.mapmyrun.com , it will let you map out a specific distance via satellite
