Hi Sudha

To lose one pound of body weight you have to omit 3500 calories.  This can be done by diet or exercise or a combination of both.

Jogging is a good way to lose weight.  You can lose approximately 160 calories for each 2 mile jog.  

If you need added information--let me know.

HI

Here is the url to a website that tells you exactly how many calories you are burning off with each exercise.

It is best never to exercise right after any meal.  You should exercise prior to your mealtime.
