For me, I find that running isn't actually the best way to lose weight! I'm just doing it at the moment because I enjoy it. After my race is over on Sunday, I'm only going to run once/twice a week, and do other training

I started running to help boost my weight loss as part of a calorie controlled diet. I started 2 months ago and have lost now 22lbs and im so chuffed I feel like a new woman. The running certainly helps and have noticed I have toned up too. I have enrolled with a personal trainer which Im starting with next Friday to help me at the gym to help build my core strength and to lose another few pounds.

I started running to lose weight for my wedding, then became completely hooked and now I run because I love it- the fact that it keeps me slim and healthy are just added bonuses!

I started it as part of a full-body fitness routine, including weight training, all of which is/was aimed at both general health and weight loss.

Both for me, I need to get fitter and lose weight. I'm only 4,11 and could do with losing a couple of stone. Running is the only exercise I really enjoy, if my knees let me that is!

I started to run to lose weight, but then got sucked into the race scene and stopped losing weight as I needed fuel

Back to losing weight for me if I ever recover from this marathon.

Personal challenge - to run 5k by the end of October

Im running for weight loss but as others have said, I've got in to racing as well now so doing a bit of both. Weightloss during the training but its slower than if I was concentrating only on weightloss.

I started off purely to lose some poundage, but very soon found muself really enjoying it and entered a couple of races. A few of my mates are all in the same boat and we do the ocassional half marathon and have a little wager on the outcome.

i started running to get fitter and tone up, then i really started to love it and then i started to get competitive and doing more and more miles. i love running!

No, it's actually kind of the opposite for me... well, not the opposite - I don't run to get fat, that would be a bit mad , but I'm pretty small anyway, so I have to eat quite a lot to sort of cancel out the running and make sure I don't get even skinnier. Which is, as you might imagine, a terrible hardship, but a burden I must bear stoically.

I started running over a year ago to lose weight after having my second baby. I wanted to get fit too, I lost most of the weight I wanted to lose so now I run because I enjoy it and to keep my weight down. I also run to maintain my fitness and I run just because I can!
