Is anyone having trouble sleeping at night? I feel I have so much energy and I am not tired...

Does this mean I am ready to start exercising gently? I am almost done with my 3rd week.

Thanks!

IMHO, I would think that if you have so much energy you can't sleep ... exercising would definately be an option.

Have fun!

You're right at about the beginning of the 4th week it is time to start exercising. Gentle at first -- walking is perfect and work your way up. But only exercise no more than 45 minutes -- that's about all the calories you have to use. We don't want you to damage your muscle tissue.

If you decide to start exercising I would recommend you do so gently. I know that I have been getting up earlier and I am ready for bed by bed time I am paranoid of exercise because there have been those who started and their weight loss stalls. If this should happen to you I have seen it recommended that you add another supplement. Hope you get some good z's soon

I am also paranoid! Glad to see I'm not alone in that! (I hope to start sometime within the next week or two though...)

I agree though...if you find you cannot sleep, I would find a way to burn off some of that extra energy. I know if I wake up early I usually take the dog out for a slightly longer morning walk.

Don't be paranoid of exercise! A pound of muscle is MUCH smaller than a pound of fat. Do a search on the internet to see the difference, you'll be amazed at the difference. That's why a female body builder will weigh 150 & wear a size 4.

And when I quit smoking it got really bad. My bedtime was like 5 or 6 in the MORNING...WHEN I went to bed. About 1 month ago..someone suggested Melatonin(natural-on the vitamin shelf) and it worked like a charm. It reset my sleep clock so now I sleep at night like a normal person.I take it every so often now if I am slippin back off track.

Also, although building a bit of muscle may make the scale slow down temporarily..your inches will go zooming down and muscle burns fat so building a little muscle will actually(in the long run) cause you to lose weight even faster.

Your doing great!!!
Happy shaking and excercising!!
