Anyone running to lose weight? How is that going?

I started a couple of years ago walking /jogging on the treadmill. I decided to start running 5k races. I didn't really drop any weight just inches. which I decided was ok with me at the time. I told my husband I wanted to do a mud run.... he thought I was crazy!! I was 5'3" about 230lbs. at the time. I kept running on the treadmill and doing 5ks.... losing inches not weight. We did the mud run and I finished strong!!! Last year alone my husband and I ran 7-5ks and 1 mud run!! I didn't start loosing weight until I watched every single calorie I ate and added some core workout training in my routine!! So for me, running is enjoyable and the main part of my exercise, but I mix in the elliptical and bootcamp/core workouts..... not the weight is coming off!!0
