Should I do more?

I am doing Power90, I heard that's pretty much all the workout I need in a day, but I really want to lose 30 more pounds before my wedding in 4 months. So I want to add in running as well.

However, my knees hurt all ready with the Power90, so I don't want to burn myself out. What do ya'll think? Thanks!

It sounds like you are doing a lot now! If you feel lthe energy, and don't think it's might become too much, go ahead and incorperate a little more, maybe start brisk walks, or jogs, just make sure and eat at least about 1/2 of those extra exercise calories that you are buring so that your body is getting enough calories to keep burning the fat and building that lean body!

I lost 80 in 6mos by burning 400 6 days a week and netting 1200 -1600 a day

When your body is in pain, it is trying to tell you something. Careful with your joints - No Pain, No Gain - doesn't apply to joints.

If you're looking to do something more - you're feeling energized to do more - but your knees are bothering you, I would try something that won't affect your knees so much.

^^^^ This, this, a thousand times this.

If what you are experiencing is joint pain (sharp pain inside the joint, not muscle ache around it), you may be about to have a very unpleasant setback. I'd alternate days with upper-body and core workouts, or do something lower-impact like elliptical or bicycle.

Do not mess with your joints!

I would do some power walking. It won't hurt your knees and you can burn some extra calories.

Perhaps you should think about Strength Training... won't hurt your joints, and i really does do wonders.

Maybe try a different type of cardio besides running. The eliptical is very low impact on you joints ( i know this because i have a severe sprain in my ankle and can still do the eliptical) and you also can burn a lot of calories. Also, swimming is great cardio and pretty low impact on your joints as well!
