When I first started running (about the same time as you IIRC) it took the best part of eight weeks before I started to drop weight. I then dropped from 88kg to 76 in the following seven months but injuries over the last year have seen it creep back up.
I started this year with renewed vigour too, a similar amount of running combined with stability exercises and off the booze but also doing 16/8 ‘fasting’ which in reality just means not eating between 6pm and 10am. I think it’s mostly a calorie deficit from spacing my meals closer together meaning I’m satiated quicker but I’ve shed 4kg this month and feel like my metabolism has had a right kick up the arse. YMMV.

Hey there LFGSS runners. I have picked it running again from the xmas break and been doing every second day (a 3-run pattern of long / short / short) without fail. Something that I've noticed this time around that didn't seem to be a factor previously - I'm not losing any weight. Diet is the same as before, and I'm not drinking, but the bulk I put on in the run up to Christmas just doesn't seem to want to budge.
Should I just be upping the distance? Was expecting to be seeing at least some results now, but nothing. I think not cycling to work every day any more is having an impact.
