Tried this out today and it was a killer for me, but a good one! (Sorry about the ad before the demo) Going to be adding it into the work out a couple of times a week.

Weigh in Sunday, as well as today, brings no change in any numbers (scale or measurements).
It plays such mind games with me emotionally. Found myself very depressed and wanting to isolate and give up eating altogether. Like that would really be good at any level of it. One of these days the "it" that was working will switch this body back on. Being at war with this body sucks though. Just have to keep at it whatever!
Classes started this week at the gym. I have signed on for one Pilates circuit and one yoga. I wanted to see how the foot would do since they are pay extra classes. Glad to have started the class today but there are still some things to work around. Pushed a few things I should not and then had to go easier on some of the out of class things. It gave me an idea of what to watch out for in yoga tomorrow. Definitely no sitting back on the top of the foot. That was a BIG mistake. The instructor had pushed and I caved on it. Not again for awhile! She did not understand it was the foot in pain not my thighs. You're strong enough to do this, push through it, she repeats over and over. Kept hearing the doctor say if it hurts do not do it. She and I were not hitting it off as it was, so did not want to have one more rub since it was close to the end. The instructor was a sub and it is a good thing. Sadly she was the type to take one look at a person and have them totally defined. How she spoke and treated me made it obvious (to myself and anyone in the class) my bio was fat, never moves or works out and not capable of much. Safe to say if her name is by a class there will be no dollars paid out in the future. It is the first time at this gym I have had an instructor like her. There were instances I thought it was walk out time but then felt to hell with her get what you can from today (and thank God the other instructor will be back next week).
It was so hard to put up with that instructor feeling the way I have the past week or so. It was one more thing to make the thought of isolation sound so much better. That is not a good thing. Having people treat you like your just a lazy couch potato and/or a mindless food devourer when you are working at this so hard sends a knife in. Even this, I am so tired of rehashing it. Go dry the tears and come back when things are back in line.

Wow! She's typical, isn't she. Clueless and judgemental. Sorry you had to experience that! Good for you for not letting her run you off!!
Are you eating enough? Last week I tallied my calories which is not something I do, and found I was eating way less. I was riding my bike a lot, too, and I think it stalled my loss.
Isolation is not what we need. Faith in ourselves is what we need. Let's have a little faith! Hang in there, as you know, it works.
Tena, guess I'd been lucky because the other trainers at the gym had all been really good. Today's yoga class was so much better! Joyce the instructor is the BEST. She works "with" you and gets the best out of you. I had missed her classes SO much.
With the calories, I just seem to gain if I up them. Tried it a few times over this and it just does not seem to work out for me. I know others have had good luck with it. Both the classes this week have me very sore so I am hoping the change from them shakes things up enough.
So true about the faith! That these days is harder than the motivation, sadly. Just like the work to get these pounds off I have to work to not go the easy route and hide away from the emotional exposure. Hanging in and out there ;-).
That is just unacceptable! At my gym every instructor asks newcomers if they have any injuries and will modify exercises as needed for those that do. That is the profesional way! You should mention it to the manager at your gym!
