I still wasn't sure what to try and I'm always for going natural when possible so I bought a few vitamins to try instead of name brand workout supplements. I got a B complex, Ginseng, and L-Arganine - so we'll see if that helps or not today when I first take them. Thanks for all the help and info!

Yes, looking for energy but I DID forget to mention I prefer caffeine/stimulant free. And as for what I hope to gain from using a preworkout, I'm not working out to just get skinny. I actually like my size but want to have nice muscle tone, hence the 4x/wk weight lifting, but not be big either. I stopped by my local GNC…

So far so good! I know I'm not doing it exactly right, but I've cut out all processed foods. I think since I'm eating more protein than before and probably getting more vitamins/nutrients I'm finding myself less hungry and not snacking as much :) Right now my main go-to is tuna with avocado or green beans with caramilized…

It's been a long time since I've done P90X but I think the plyometrics and kenpo days might be hard on your ankle, but the other days (abs, chest, arms, legs, yoga, ect) should be fine.

When I log my exercise, I go under cardio and look up "jogging" for 15 mins (since my bootcamp class starts out with that) and then also under…

I'm not an expert, but I would think doing cardio 3x a week at a good pace that elevates your heart rate for 30mins is probably sufficient. I do a bootcamp fitness class 3x a week that starts off with 15mins of light cardio and then we do circuit training - which is more intense weightlifting without breaks and…

Thanks everyone! Lots of good info. I don't plan to do this diet as a temporary thing, I'm hoping it'll become a lifestyle to eat only clean and natural foods instead of going for processed things that are just easy but unhealthy. I will look into the links and articles you guys posted to get good ideas about meal planning…

If weight loss is your goal, you would generally want to eat slightly less calories then you need to consume. For example: if 1200 calories is what you're suppose to eat even with exercise to maintain your weight, then you'd want to eat slightly less to lose weight (unless 1200 calories is what you're suppose to eat but…
