How many calories are burned by walking 1 mile?

I just started Weight Watchers and for my exercise routine, I have been walking 1 mile everyday. I break it up by walking 1/2 mile in the mornings and 1/2 mile in the evenings. I have a 100+ pounds to lose, and I feel I am on the right track, but I was just curious to know if anyone knows the answer. My calorie intake a day is around 1000 to 1200. I have cut out soft drinks and I drink 8 glasses of water a day, plus eating sugar free and low fat or fat free foods.

at three miles an hour only about 100 calories, I walk every day on treadmill
cutting out soft drinks was the best thing you could have done. that and drinking water!!! I lost 12 lbs by just doing that.

    You are definitely on the right track. How many calories you burn by walking one mile depends a lot on how fast you walk. If you double the speed you quadruple the number of calories you burn. Normally, if you walk a mile in 20 minutes you burn less than 200 calories, but if you are carrying an "extra" 100 lbs. +, you might burn twice that, or about 400 calories.

    The amount burned is relative to one's current weight, check out the link below and it will tell you about how many calories you burn during specific activities… walking a mile is approximately 150 calories.

    Also though, as soon as you start walking a mile, after a while you'll want to walk more and more, so the time calc is pretty good for that!

    Good Luck!
