You weigh 90 pounds... 5 pounds UNDER your goal weight. Are you trying to continue to lose weight?

What are your macros? I feel like it's REALLY HARD to eat at a deficit and have enough energy for what I feel is a "decent" workout. Would calorie cycling help?

No--not trying to lose any more! I started this thread in July, when I weighed more, and it just got bumped back up!
I ended up toughing it out (C25K, then 30-day shred, then 6-week 6-pack, now a combo of running & Jillian CDs 6 days a week), and eventually got over the hunger. Never thought I'd be a regular-exercise person--you are an inspiration!!--but it ended up paying off in toning.

One concession I made--I used to work out on an empty stomach, and now I often eat first, for a little boost.

I have to stick with 30 to 45 minutes when I exercise. Any more than that, and I feel hungry and am prone to binging.
