eating calories

I work out 5 days a week with cardio and weight lifting, but I found out I wasn't eating enough calories,because I would be so weak and tired all the times. My weight had stalled for about two weeks now, I have given myself two days off from working out and eating all my calories for the day. Guess what I lost two pounds and have energy to work out again.. Plus a bonus I got a scale to ensure I am getting the right amount of calories.

    So awesome! You have to eat. When I worked out six days a week I was not losing and I started working out 4 days and i started back losing. Congratulations to you!
  • I just started this a couple of weeks ago, and i was working my butt off every day for 2-3 hours! i wasn't losing the weight like i wanted to so i called a doctor and set an appointment with him. I showed him this website and he said that I was working hard, but i wasn't eating enough! I didn't realize that if you didn't eat right, then you wouldn't lose weight. Most of my friends just starve themselves so it seemed like i would actually lose more than not lose anything.
    But anyways, keep up the good work! c:
    Stay beautiful <3
