Not losing weight (with running)?
Replies

Well that's that.

A 120 pound person running six miles nets about 420 calories from exercise for that run. Assuming that person is female ... let's say 5'2" ... and sedentary outside of that exercise ... they then burn over 2000 total calories for the day meaning they are on pace to lose a pound per week if they eat 1500 per day.
At 160 pounds .. all other stats the same ... that person burns over 600 net calories on that same six mile run and about 2430 total calories meaning at 1930 cals per day they are on pace to lose one pound per week.

You want exercise related advice? Okay.
Run more to create an actual calorie deficit. And also probably start lifting so you don't lose all that muscle you claim to have
I'm not trying to be snarky, but what you are saying you are doing is literally impossible. Unless you are very wee. Like, smaller than a hobbit.
More like an oompa loompa but working on hobbitness -1 -
Thank you everybody for the advice. I will try running on Saturdays as well and will Pinterest a couple Diy vinaigrette dressings to give a try and see where I am in the next 1-3wks. {No more replies needed}0

There was nothing rude in my response. It was factual based on your replies. Because you don't want to hear reality does not make reality "rude". Nobody can give you informed advice based on your insistence of doing the impossible ... again, not rude ... factual.brianpperkins wrote: »The "advice" the OP liked was somebody saying they ate 3000 calories on seven mile run days ... which she counters by saying she can't/won't eat that much. That doesn't leave much room for advice.
Sir if you are going to be unapologetically rude and create a negative environment please leave as there is no need for you to be here.

What are you using to measure your calorie burn? I ran a 5k on Saturday in 22 minutes and according to my Heart Rate Monitor I only burned 248 calories.
I had to run a 10k 46 minutes in order to burn 495 calories. So perhaps you are overestimating your burns.0 -
@RedArizona5 take a look at this link

Also please open your diary, you will get more detailed help.
please use a food scale, because barring a medical condition. .. The weight should be falling off you eating such low calories.
In the beginning I refused to weigh my food, I wasn't going to be one of 'those' people! But here I am weighing everything I eat and it's become second nature now.
just try it for a month. Weigh, measure and log your food and exercise honestly and meticulously and see what happens

Yea that is true. It was spread around like wild fire not took long ago all i heard is : (me talking in a granny impersonation voice) You better eat enough or or or your body will hold onto what it has and you won't lose weight unless you keep lowering the calories till your not eating anything then when you do you will binge then get fat." but have you or anyone else? heard of this? I'm sure of it.RedArizona5 wrote: »

Eating too little results in weight loss - always, and guaranteed. Do it too long, and it'll even kill you.

Underestimating calories consumed + overestimating calories burned is why you are not losing weight, OP.
Since it appears you only are interested in advice from people who run, I will add that I am a former locally competitive (now recreational) runner.
Nobody who has offered you advice has been rude. Your responses to these nice people who have taken the time to offer their advice (which you requested on a PUBLIC forum) has been nothing short of ungrateful and rude.0 -
I've been doing C25k and have seen absolutely no results. If anything I've gotten fatter?? I've been eating less and healthier but nothing has happened. I'm only on week 6 of C25k but have been running for the past five months. Very frustrated and just want to curl into a ball and cry. Have even been doing body weight exercises, blogilates videos, etc but they haven't been helping. The only thing on my body that has changed in the past five months is my bum. What am I doing so wrong?
I had to go back to the original post because you said people weren't answering your questions. So you asked what you were doing wrong and most people here are saying you:
1- aren't weighing your food. You may be eating more than you think
2 - and you are likely overestimating your calories burned during exercise.
Just wanted to sum it up and answer the original question.
Solutions would be
1 - weigh your food. At least once to compare your estimate to what the scale says.
2 - be very conservative when logging/eating back exercise calories. Don't eat them all back. Many people only eat back half or none at all.

Yes. We hear it everyday in the forums. It was bogus the first time, and it's bogus today. The body doesn't "hold on to all your fat" if you are eating in a calorie deficit.0 -

Or we can continue to discuss the issues you put in the public domain such as how a person can eat 4020 calories per week (574 per day) and allegedly gain weight while exercising. Either you're eating a lot more than you think or you have a lower daily caloric need than a 6 month old, 16 pound infant ... which is 593 calories per day according to the USDA. Until that discrepancy gets resolved there isn't any informed advice anyone can give you.0

I was this way too. I gave in and got a scale-i LOVE my scale. I figured if i was going to run that much i better make sure I'm not wasting my work. I lost weight even with eating back all my calories and cheat days and then plateued. I was mainainting and i know why now-i should not have ate back my calories. I know that cause i lived by that way before i got on my birth control(depo vera) and gain a bUTT load of weight and fell off the wagon and so…when i decided to get back on the wagon i ran more and ate more….it worked and got down to a very slim envy size 132 on a good week and 137 on a bad week and it was awesome. I since then had acquired mysterious back issues I'm still dealing with and don't believe running is good for (me) anyways. I could feel like a cow go for a run for 30 and feel like a million bux slipping in a bikini. Loved running too much. I wasn't in it to compete although i had my share of 5k's my first ever was at a slow 43 minute time then it went to 30 MY LAST 2 runs.christinev297 wrote: »@RedArizona5 take a look at this link

When i ran for myself the last run i had gotten under 10 minutes per mile running at an hour with no breaks at the park in the summer afternoon (this girl used to do suicedes in heat waves-no joke-passion!) that was short lived BUAHAH BUT yes a scale could help you.
My mentality to keep getting better for me was if i run 15 minutes away and 15 minutes back its a 30 minutes run-my mind always loved that trick. because halfway through your on your way home! Try it out OP

Not just vinaigrettes
try olive oil in a nice small rounded flask infused with garlic cloves and whatever herbs YOU like OP.
I like LOTS of garlic and rosemary. Theres a lot of options and just start with olive oil and garlic cloves and add however much you will like and let it infuse (just sitting all together) for a day and when you add salt and pepper its so fresh and yummy. I can eat infused olive oil with bread all day but hehe that won't help me will it… just use* it over salads if vinaigrettes are getting boring.0 -
Oh bloody el. I've lost track of who the original poster of this thread was. I think my post above referencing weighing your food was meant for @giki18

I did, about the measurements and I had known about that misconception with weighing stuff for a long while. Knowing that already its a good reminder and i always try to over log those items too. Currently my hiPS* love that I'm not eating PB out of the jar since a year ago i got a little to much info on whats exactly in it and so yeah i can eat it in desserts or meals where its so processed or so mixed in that i can't see it or taste the pb too well and the exception is reeces pb cups. i love those. I used to like chocolate with pb smeared as an ultimate fix but now i don't.RedArizona5 wrote: »

i like using teaspoons when i know i want to be generous with condiments for example so that way it will = out to Tb and log as a tb instead of a teaspoon. i rush so much in and out of my apartment with finals week (tomorrows last day for now) so getting food packed on the run is a super accomplishment for me. and its fastest to use tsp and over account for calories

Hi..
I am a runner. I might be able to help address why running and weight loss don't always make sense together.
The first thing to beware of is that you are calculating that you burn 430 calories in 30 minutes running. I am here to tell you that unless you are Kara Goucher you are not running fast enough to burn that many calories. Figure 100 calories per mile for a 130 pound female runner or walker. Most national class women athletes run fast enough to burn 430 calories in 30 minutes only when they are racing at their hardest.
The next thing about running is that to run well you need carbs and if you run depleted - hungry...your body trains itself to avoid being depleted and you are training yourself to store more glycogen in your muscles. This stored glycogen binds with water and is very heavy. It isn't fat...but it sure can mess with the scale. Lots of elite women runners are surprisingly heavy for as tiny as they are. Your body is also getting better at burning fat so you are getting leaner...less fat.
There are other changes that are going on that can lead to weight gain for a runner. For example it is getting warmer out. Your body cools itself during running through circulating more blood around. The volume of blood increases for warm weather running.
There is also a tendency for exercisers to over- eat their calories back.0
