[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I started running in February and I’m now running every other day either two miles or three miles. I can run 5k in 30 minutes which isn’t bad, I think, as I’m nearly 50 and haven’t been in shape for years (I’ve always hated exercise in the past so I’m quite proof of myself for sticking with this).  I’ve cut out snacks and most candy and I typically don’t eat large portions - I’m vegetarian and eat fairly healthy. But I’ve lost less than 10lbs. My main motivation has been to get healthier and I think I’ve achieved that. I also feel in much better shape and much more toned. Why haven’t I been more successful with weight loss? I’m 5’ 10” and had got up to 195lb before I started running (due to lack of exercise and snacking because of the pandemic, 180lb is a more typical weight for me).  I’d really like to get down to 170lb or so which is a good weight for me with my height.[/quote]

To the OP, keep running! It sounds like you are eating right and you just need to increase your weekly mileage. For me, the weight starts to melt off once I'm running 20 miles a week. I like to run 5 days a week and cross train or rest on the other 2 days. If you find yourself really hungry after running, eat high protein foods. [/quote]
