I can't remember, how long have you been running consistently? I know when I first started a couple years ago, it took at least 3 months before I started seeing any kind of results (I wrote about it here: http://jenplusjohn.blogspot.com/2011/08/six-months-ago-today.html - I should probably do another post on it, it's been a while!). Of course everyone's body is different but the changes I've seen over the years are suuuuper subtle because I don't kill myself working out every day. But I also see the extra "baggage" if I take a few days off. <br /><br />My main thing is how my clothes are fitting. I have certain pieces (jeans, work pants, certain dresses) that I can use to sort of judge how I'm doing. If they're feeling tight I know I need to push it a little more (or stop taking days off), if they're loose I know I'm doing well. I almost never weigh myself so for me it's all about the fit of my clothes.<br /><br />Also, try interval training. It's hard to sprint on the treadmill so what I would do is run at a 5.0-6.0 for 1.5 minutes then increase to 6.5-8.0 for 30 seconds and do this for 20 minutes (which was all the time I was able to spare at the gym). The speeds would depend on how I was feeling that day but I always wanted to make sure I could finish the whole 20 minutes without walking. It took a few times to get all the speeds right & know what I was capable of during the workout. This also helped with the boredom of being on the treadmill. I had to watch when to increase the speed so it helped pass the time.<br /><br />Good luck! And don't give up!!Jen ♥https://www.blogger.com/profile/08412978750601110420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6808329342973883194.post-41259629684329474972013-05-01T09:21:14.816-04:002013-05-01T09:21:14.816-04:003-6 miles?
