Imagination plays a part, but claiming that one will raise half a ton simply because they imagined it is just asinine to say the least.
No need to go to the gym goy, just imagine you're running, that's right, you'll get slimmer that way.
The highest effect imagination can have on these matters is upwards to a maximum of 20% I would say. Sitting down and being very fat, and imagining one runs, isn't going to lose you all that much of weight. But within the context of actually doing the deed, such as trying to lose weight, 20% goes a huge way, so imagination + action can be superior to action only.
