I started my journey to become a curvey little number a couple of weeks ago - the first week was just watching what I ate to see my habits.

Then I started Slim in Six and maintaining a log on the dailyplate (= gold). Also added more water and a one a day vitamin.

The first two days on the slim in Six Start it Up were wonderful, full of energy. Walking around the office during breaks cause I just wanted to move. Then Start it Up, while tiring, was not exactly pushing me to failure, so I was going to move to ramp it up tomorrow.

But today - I am WIPED. I have a very intensive troupe belly dance class tonight, and I have to be on the muscle. Am I missing something in my diet?

::I was going to post a link to my dailyplate diary, which is the only way for me to show you my eating schedules, but I can't yet - damn:::. So if there is a way to go in their and look I'm burlyqofborg

I realize I'm still tweaking the food - sugar is too high and sodium is higher then I want it, but not over the daily recomended.

I so appreciate the thoughts of everyone here on the forum...thank you all so much for your help!

I empathize with you. I feel awful today- just sore and totally wiped out. I did my "Melt it off" video last night and then went for a 50 minute walk with my dog and today I feel awful. I might be coming down with something because yesterday's activity wasn't out of the norm for me so I think it's something else. My diet has been good, so I don't think it's that.

It took me a few weeks to not feel wiped after starting working out. I think I started out too fast and should have worked out like every other day instead of daily, but I pushed through it, and my energy came back! I was afraid to drop my exercise down because it wasn't a habit yet and I was afraid I'd lose interest

Sometimes just a multi-vitamin alone is not enough- usually they only have 400IU of vitamin D and now doctor's are saying you should be taking at least double that- try adding a second vitamin that's vitamin D + calcium because you can lose a lot of these working out and losing weight.

Other than that if you aren't getting enough sleep I suggest trying to get some more in as well.

Good luck! It took me a few weeks after starting vitamins to start feeling better btw.

I couldn't figure out how to see your daily plate entries, but what occurs to me is that you are "tweaking" your sugar. I think you posted the other day that you are trying to reduce? That may be contributing to your tired feeling. If that is the case, it will pass. I know; I recently cut refined carbs and was wiped and hungry for about a week.

And, as others have mentioned, don't overdo the exercise just starting out. Make sure you eat enough to properly fuel yourself. It's a balance - eating enough to have energy, but not so much that you don't lose! It may take some experimenting until you figure out what works for you.

Since people have been giving you good advice on food:
-Could you be near your period? I'm always wiped out in the days before mine starts, no matter how healthy I think I'm eating.
-Or has it been hotter than normal?
-Or perhaps you didn't sleep as well as you should have?
-Do you feel more stressed out than normal?
I feel like our bodies are just complicated. Some days, you're just tired. Be nice to yourself! Go to bed early if you can. Take a bubble bath. Listen to your body...it clearly needs a little TLC
