I would like to lose about 10-15 lbs. and I haven't lost 1 yet. I've been eating fine consuming about 1700 calories a day and im not eating bad either. I do lift but only about 2 days a week every so often. I've been running for about 2 and a half months and didn't lost a single pound. Is there anything else I can do to lose weight?

Have you lose inches? Do your clothes fit better (looser)? because that is how you determine actual fat loss.
The scale wont tell you how much fat you have lost and how much muscle gained.
There is always a chance you are under/over estimating your caloric intake - use fitday.com to track that.
You have to do cardio 4-6 times a week (one day definitely off for recovery) for average of 45min - you gotta do more of that.

Calories do not matter. It is where they come from that matter. There are more diets than ever and more people dieting than ever and yet we have the fattest society ever. So a lot of these ideas about losing weight, make you fatter. Cutting calories, carbs and fats can cause you to have a weight problem for life. It is better to eat differently. See site below and learn why lean meat and non-fat yogurt are so fattening.
Also salt has no calories but makes you fat. This also has the quickest weight loss possible. Eat good carbs, not bad carbs. Nourish your body thin, instead of starving your body fat. Eat foods made by nature and avoid foods made by man which are designed to make you fat and very addicted to food. Do the ninja warrior diet (not a diet but a diet lifestyle). 5th link on "LINKS" page is BMI calculater to see if you are overweight.

I'm sure you're losing INCHES. Muscle weighs more than fat, therefore you're turning fat into muscle. That's GREAT! Keep it up. You should lower your caloric content however to 1500 calories. (depends on your present weight however). Look here: http://www.inch-aweigh.com/dcn.php (male or female)
