Thanks for all of the replies guys. Based on what the majority of you said I either need to add more to my diet or ease up on my exercise. I decided to change up my exercise routine and I just ordered T25 paired with PiYo. PiYo for the stretching and flexibility and T25 for the actual workout. I also plan to start running…

I just ordered this along with T25 and will be starting both sometime next week. I'm excited, but kind of nervous as well. :O

I'm actually debating on getting this program myself, please share how the first workout goes!

I was worried about the same thing, but like most everyone has already said, it's a holiday and you need to treat yourself. You can't really not have holiday meals for the rest of your life. If it's a lifestyle change, it's for life. I know I couldn't go the rest of my life without my mom's cornbread stuffing... O.O

I will do that.

No no, I never went to a dietitian or nutritionist. I had a friend tell me I should add more protein when I explained what was going on. He does weight lifting and what not. More protein sounds like a plan, I just don't want to do it with bars or protein powder. I want to get it naturally from foods. (He suggested protein…

@jacksonpt, that would be amazing. I'm always hungry and tired. I'm not sure what to add. I guess I could give you an idea of what I eat in a day: Breakfast: 1 packet high-fiber OR low-sugar oatmeal 1 8oz glass of grapefruit juice OR 2 pieces of nature's own honey light bread 1 dannon light n' fit greek yogurt Lunch…

@Aemely, I see what you mean. I guess it's just hard to allow myself to eat more than I have when I've been doing this for so long. (I'm afraid to gain weight). Sometimes, I'll change up what I eat, but like I said I know everything I eat and it's portioned out. Someone mentioned to me that I should maybe add more protein…

Ugh, full time student here! AHHH Finals week in 2 weeks for me! It's such a struggle to finish classes, then eat healthy all during the week, and exercise everyday on top of daily responsibilities. Sometimes I just want a break. Haha Good luck with your finals everyone!

Hrmm, I see that. I guess I don't want to gain any weight. I'm pretty short and it's super easy to gain weight when you're short and curvy as it is. When I started all this, I was a bit heavier and my BMI was gauged as "overweight" and even now I'm only just under that at 24.7.

@esjones12, thanks for your post. I really enjoyed running when I was doing that but again, I'd just feel so tired afterwards that I basically couldn't do anything else. I probably am under eating Monday-Saturday. Insanity looks like a good cardio workout, but I'm questioning if I could even complete it. The 60 minutes on…

I don't know, what doesn't it have to do with energy intake? I'm giving you extra information, I guess. I feel like I can't add more calories because I don't know what foods work with my body. I know what I'm eating works fine for me now. I just feel stuck. Should I be working out harder or what? I'm just not seeing the…

Like I said though, I do the TBB DVD twice a week and 3 times a week I'll do the elliptical for an hour. Even then the TBB only goes about 45 minutes so I feel like I need to supplement that with an extra 15 minutes of elliptical. I don't want to burn myself out, but I don't know what else to do. I'm also the type of…

I never have extra energy. I have just enough to do my routine along with my daily responsibilities. Alot of the time I'm pretty exhausted after my workout (I work out in the evenings). I do it however, because I know if I don't I'll feel pretty lousy.

Oh, right. I usually maintain about 900-1000 calories daily, except for Sundays. Sundays I don't really track at all and I suppose that could be a problem except that I read that cheating alittle is a good metabolism boost.
