The one thing I have truly come to believe and understand during this period of being unfilled is that my body is super-sensitive to carbs. I have a "clean" day of eating (minimal carbs) and the scale shows it. God help me if I eat a sandwich using one piece of bread. I know the scale will be up the next day.
I keep trying to look at the whole picture...in 11 months, I have lost 52 lbs! That is amazing to me. I just know that I am not done and I need to have a little positive reinforcement from my scale.
I went to a cardio class this morning and burned 430 calories and I am planning on going back at 5:30 for a spin class. Its been a while since I've done spinning and I'm hoping that will shake up my metabolism. I am also going out to lunch with some of my girlfriends from the gym today so by going back to the gym tonight, I will burn what I eat at lunch! Only kidding, I am truly going to be very cognizant of what I order. If nothing else, I am at the point in my journey where I ask myself "is this really worth it?" quite often before putting something in my mouth. It is just too damn hard to lose and I just want to get to the maintaining part which I am sure will bring with it a whole new assortment of challenges.

I think it's a great idea to do a type of exercise that you are not used to. Between that and your fill, I'm sure the scale will start moving down again.
Wow! You are a gym rat!
I'm the same way with carbs. I think I just look at them and it causes me problems. I'm realizing, too, that one piece of bread at lunch leads to a serving of pasta at dinner. If I just leave the carbs alone and get what I need from my smoothie and fruit (sometimes on the fruit) then it's plenty for the brain function and all around good for the scale. I'm back to thinking no carbs at dinner - and I already don't at lunch.
I hope the fill does wonders. You've done well with this unfill and I'm sure you'll get going quickly now!
Good game plan! I know the numbers will reflect your efforts! :)
Wow! You are definately working hard for this weight loss. I'd be sad if bread affected me like that. I hope this fill does what you're hoping it will do!
I am so glad we are peeps, cause I have so much to say.. See ya soon, and remember, you are in control, you lost the weight, you know what to do, and the gizmo is not always your pal !!!
I am sensitive to carbs too. My body hates them, or loves to hold onto them and turn them into piles of fat all over me.
It sucks because they are sooo good!
Glad you're staying focused though.
