Sometimes I can do 3 and sometimes doing one gets me out of breath. Would jogging/running 1 mile a day help me lose weight? Or does it have to be atleast 2 or 3 miles? Thanks!

running is good for a cardiovascular workout, but a mile a day isn't going to show you any results. A person should get at least 30 minutes of exercise a day, and running one mile accounts for only about a third of it. But give yourself a pat on the back for exercising at all!
If you like running the mile, run it everyday, following by some sprints and crunches, pushups, lunges, etc. If you combine all of these workouts with a bit of weight training, your body should be slim and toned in no time.
And remember, the best way to lose weight is by combining a healthy diet with exercise. Load up on your protein, veggies, and fruit, and remember to say no to those afterschool or work treats like cookies or icecream and take it easy on the carbs, don't totally eliminate them. Carbs are important as they provide energy for your workouts. Good Luck!

Jogging 6 Miles A Day

running , jogging or even walking will help speed your metabolism . If your amount of work done in a day exceeds your calorie intake you will lose weight . You may also lose fat as you build muscle mass.
dont push if you are running out of breath slow it down , walk till you recover. Over time you should see an improvement in your stamina.
Walking a half mile a day would be better than running 1-3 miles a week .

I don't know if you're willing to do this or not (sense it is VERY unhealthy) but if you want to lose 60 pounds or more weight fast in like 2 months you can do this. walk around your neighborhood or on a treadmil for 1-2 hours EVERYDAY (even 3 hours would be great) but you don't have to do this all at once. work-out to exercise videos (I recommend Jilian Michael's exercise dvds because she will make you burn alot of calories) eat 300 calories to 400 calories twice a week (no more than that. Yes, I know you are kind of starving yourself but trust you'll get used to it. By the way stick to lean cuisine dinners because they're low in fat, calories, and carbohydrates. drink laxative tea and take laxatives. Trust me all of this helped me go from 220 pounds to 157 in 2 months (seriously). I'm still not down to the weight that I want to be (which is 117) but I'll be there by halloween. Halloween is a BIG day for me because I'm going to dress up in this costume that was clearly not made for a big girl but anyways like I said this is unhealthy but if you have alot of weight to lose in a short amount of time then this would be really good to do. Oh yeah and always make sure that you never get dehydrated and to help you not eat alot.....stay out of the house as much as possible and keep little money on you (just in case you're tempted to buy food) but if you have to stay at home take some sleeping pills because they'll make you sleep so you won't have time to think about food.

1 mile is at most only 10 minutes of exercise. This is hardly enough for a day. try 3 plus if you can. 10km is actually about 6 miles.

You also need to do different exercises and adjust your diet to fewer bad calories.
A mile is okay especially if you give it everything you got when running.
Your goal should be to increase your endurance and stamina and that way your weight will definately drop.

If you REALLY want to lose weight as well as get in extraordiary shape, you should not run LSD (long, slow distance), but run intervals. In fact, jogging sucks.
I did this program (http://www.t-nation.com/findArticle.do?article=251run2), and swear by it. Only problem - it is quite demanding and uncomfortable.

Instead of sitting and reading, listen to books on tape because you walk, clean, or garden.
