With the running, have you tried pushing the distance slightly more? Try doing 1.5 miles the same number of times and gradually push that up. I started running about 5 years ago and hated every second of it; I stuck with it though and gradually pushed up the distances to the point where I did my first marathon last year. In training for that I lost over 7 pounds in about 3 months from an already fairly slim body while eating whatever I wanted so I'm sure if you step up the cardio exercise slightly it'll soon fall off. Good luck with it!
