is 3 miles a day to little?

Depends how hard you're working. How well adapted you've become, as well.
 
Running is a great exercise for losing weight, but I don't think running the same distance (at the same pace?) everyday is a good thing. Try mixing up your distances and pace, but keep your weekly distance the same. So if you're now running 3 miles daily for 21 miles per week, try running a quick 1.5 miles one day, followed by 4.5 miles the next at a slower pace, etc. so at the end of the week you've still run 21 miles. Ultimately, only you can tell if you're doing enough. Be patient with trying to lose weight. One to two pounds per week should be your target weight loss. Losing weight slowly gives you time to establish new, sustainable norms for diet and activity levels.
 
its good for beginners...it was long time ago when i started at 3...make sure you increase to keep staying on running or it will get boring....
 
My body never has seemed to adapt to running in the early mornings when i run the same pace, same distance, yet when i run in the afternoons my body will then gradually adapt. Though im not able to run atm anyway...
 
I think if you are able to do MORE,then it is too little,but if that is your limit and it takes everything you've got to DO 3 miles,then it is just right for you now...until you build up the stamina for more miles.
