[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hmm, interesting. I am not OP but I just lost 15 lbs from cutting calories and would like to lose 15 more lbs. I thought running would help but I see it will not. I am confused though. Why are people always raving about walking 10k in a day and losing weight from it?[/quote]

I definitely found running helped me to lose weight. No doubt it is partly because it makes me generally more disciplined about health, including eating. However, I also find that once I am fitter, I can run further and harder and that definitely helps. I think my metabolism changes. [u]I try to maintain a mindset that separates exercise from weight loss. [/u][b]It means I enjoy running for its own sake. Otherwise, I start dreading running, feeling guilty about missing a run, etc. It’s not always easy to keep that separation but I know I won’t sustain the running if I just see it as a means to weight loss.

This is a very good attitude to have in general about exercise. Decoupling intake and exercise is always a good idea - unless you are on the other end of the spectrum and doing so much training you need to make sure to eat sufficiently for recovery.
