I have also found that running has never had much of an effect on my weight.

I have been a runner for about 10 years (1/2 marathon distances), and am only just resuming my running program after taking 4 months off (due to UTTER BOREDOM FROM RUNNING TOO MUCH!).

I know my body looks better from running, but even at 40km+ a week, the scale doesn't move much for me. HOWEVER, I would like to stress that I have in the past been sucked into the carbo loading BS, gorging on pasta, bread, and rice every night, bagels and pancakes every morning.

No more, though! Maybe the scale will move as a result? The running sure feels better without all that dough on board!
