I have been going to the gym for a year (after 3 years of nothing) and haven't lost a pound.
6 days ago I gave up sodas. I have been heavily addicted to them. Just drinking water.
Enjoying the journey so far. I'll weigh in after 2 weeks.

Running is actually great cardio, so if I were in your shoes I'd add in some strength training rather than more cardio. Try some of the routines from www.bodyrock.tv or www.nerdfitness.com if you can't/don't want to do free weights in the gym. Strength training will help you preserve the muscle you have so you can burn that fat and look great.

Running is absolutely awesome cardio. Yes, be sure to add in some strength training. I do both, I run 4-5 days a week, currently training for a 12-mile race and I do P90x for strength training. Feel free to add me for some support. You can reach your goals, keep working hard!!

In my journey, I started out with the c25k also - but took me a LOT longer than 8 wks to complete!), coupled with two Jillian Michaels DVD's that I since completed, after I started Chalean Extreme but it wasn't working for me (plateau) and now I am a week into Insanity! ALMOST 20 lbs lost in the 110+ days that I've been doing this! Feel free to add me if you like! I'm currently reading "The Eat Clean" diet by Tosca Reno - excellent info!

I really do need some strength training. But I'm not sure what I'm suppose to do at all:/ I have access to a gym! Thanks for all the support and comments everyone!

Have you ever tried swimming? Swimming is fantastic for a full body cardio workout! I swim all the time, and I have actually wanted to start running, but I injured my knee so I'm putting that on the backburner for the time being until I can shed a few pounds, then try again. But swimming is amazing! It works muscles in your body that you never knew you had, and it's extremely low-impact! If you decide to give it a try, add me and we can exchange tips on our sports because I still really want to run, but I need to figure out how to do it without hurting myself. haha!
