Am I on the right track to lose weight?

[Anonymous]

I run about 6-7 miles a day on the treadmill.

AM: Matcha green tea, eggs, Kashi cereal

NOON: Smoothie with spinach, some fruit, chia seeds

PM: String cheese, Peas/carrots or broccoli with chicken, 70% dark chocolate

Throughout the day I munch on Cheezits :( I live at my families house and they have a lot around and its a weakness. Always so hard to resist.

Yeah, just keep pluggin' away!

I found that filling a tight fitting backpack with weights or water in a manor that is stable and moves as one mass, and wearing that while running really builds muscles/burns calories. In addition, setting the treadmill's incline up is a bonus.

Source: running up ~800 feet in vertical elevation over ~3.2 miles across dusty and gravelly back-country trail in order to set up a tent before a storm. I don't mean to brag, but i climbed that sum' of a bitch in probably 35 - 45 minutes of almost solid running.

"6-7 miles a day on the treadmill."

No. Run just a mile as fast as you damn can 3 or 4 times a week. If you HAVE to use the treadmill then put it on incline. Running on treadmill is easier than running outdoors.

Time every run and log. By the time you can run a sub 7min mile you will look much better. Guaranteed.

Depends on how much variation you do with your cardio.
Your body will get used to it eventually and you will plateau. Try lifting as well.

Running that much? You're bound to lose weight. You need to eat more though. You won't be able to last barely eating like that

oh if you stop eating cheezits than yes!
