Keep reminding yourself that a good result is only a good result if you FEEL GOOD! I don't think I'd feel motivated to do any of this if I didn't feel awesome as a result . The weight coming off is certainly bonus but feeling amazing is the main point, to me at least .

Hang in there!

Yes, I've been eating this way since August last year and I'm down to the 45 lbs lost mark, so it's been working! As soon as I took exercise seriously I knew I wanted to fuel my body so I felt alive and energetic - and so I could cope with the exercise too. I did research and a lot of sources said eating more was the key, even though it sounds crazy for those wanting to lose weight, but hey - I'm living proof it works. My actual amount I'm supposed to be eating is like 2200 calories, but that's a 5 meal a day plan so I cut it down to around 1700 for 3 meals and it works for me.

The idea of this method is is that you should never go hungry. I eat 1700 of generally healthy food - fruit, veg, wholegrain foods - I only drink water. Treats come here and there, because I want to LIVE still, but on the whole the exercise I do balances out and I lose weight.

You don't need to slow down your exercise, just eat more. You need a good balanced diet, they tend to say 40% carbs 40% protein and 20% fat is a good ratio. But you need protein with all that exercise you're doing - I'm not talking about those shakes - I mean real protein food! I do think you should add 1 rest day, because it gives your body time to recover.

This planner is great to see what you should be getting of each food group in a week. I'd take the calorie intake with a pinch of salt, but it's still a good clear guide on what a balanced diet looks like

If you're worried about a day off making you less motivated, maybe try just light exercise and heavy stretching 1-2 days a week. Maybe just stretch out your kinks and take a walk when you're supposed to exercise. That way, the time that you usually exercise is filled and you still feel the accomplishment of doing something. Just a thought. Good luck!!

Like everyone has already said make sure you have a rest day. When I first started working out and eating right I would be EXHAUSTED after a workout. I would literally have to take a 2-3 hour nap because I couldn't hold my eyes open. I realized I wasn't eating enough. Maybe log what you eat for a week or so just to make sure you are getting enough?

Thanks guys. You are all very helpful. I am feeling a little bit better. Im also starting to think that I have some kinda allergy, and that its getting worse when I am at work. So I think it might've been something else thats the reason to why I was feeling like that.

But anyway. I ended up having two rest days last week. I ate more. And Im starting at a new job today. So I know for sure I am now going to be exhausted for atleast a week anyway. But I decided to change up a bit what I am eating, so Im sure its going to get better
