What week are you on in the program? How do you like it? Once you get to the end, you'll find that you'll be able to run for longer than the 30 minutes, which will equate to more exercise.

This time last year, I was running 3-4 days per week (12-18 miles per week), and strength training for 2. This is when I had the best results. I was down to 122, and couldn't gain weight for anything.

After New Years, I started a mileage buildup program that required 5-6 days of running. I had no time for strength training. Slowly, I gained weight. I reached 136 before I decided to try Atkins.

Now, I know the combination of strength and running works best. I just find it hard to get that many days in. I also need to watch my diet. If I'm not careful, it slowly creeps up.
