don't do the HIIT intervals on your day off. I do some light cardio on my days off (walking on treadmill set to 1.5 incline, 2.5 mph) for about 30 minutes and I get wiped out so I've backed off to just a once or twice a week.

I would also recommend as someone who weighs 217 to just try the maintenance amount of calories per the book for a week or two. I'm betting that you'll find (like I did) that you'll still drop a few pounds. I'm at 2100 wo days/1800 non-wo days and I've lost 3 pounds since starting June 1st. On non-workout days where I do the cardio I've had to up my calories to almost 2000 or I start feeling really depleted. You can always drop the calories later if the weight plateaus.

Good luck with the new program, there are a bunch of us that just started so welcome! I'm really interested to see your before and after GoWear Fit daily calories, out of curiosity.
