I learned this when I got my treadmill desk. My general level of activity and energy is up 24/7. I have started inline skating again and am ancy and frustrated when I can't get out.
A whole bunch of clothes started fitting better, but the scale says I have accomplished nothing. For a long time I believed the scale, but at this point it's undeniable.
Overcomplicating diet doesn't help either. I think learning to understand fullness and reigning in portion sizes was more productive for me than changing what I ate. If you always clear your plate then that is definitely a change you need to make. Portion sizes are out of control.
