I was disappointment and not surprised my weight went up again. It looks like I'm going to have to started cutting down some of the calories again. I should have avoided the Yogurt after dinner. I also switched up the weight training exercises to something more intense.
 
I'm at the same stage, Matt. It sucks & it's hard to accept when your weight starts going up & up. From my experience, those little fat cells get more stubborn with time & don't want to leave, but you have the know-how to bring it back down & so do I. We just have to get back into weight-loss mode. We can do it!

I'm a little disappointed my weight didn't go down. After work I went to this new casino that opened earlier this month. They give you $10.00 which I lost lol, which was no big deal since technically I didn't lose any of my money.

Yeah, I think one thing that makes it harder is age, which sadly we can't change.
 
Hi jonam, firstly well done for taking the first step to losing weight. It's a difficult decision to make the thing is you made a decision and now your doing it many people make decisions but just don't do it.

Being on a weight lose journey can suck especially when your constantly tracking weight. I'll a suggest a trick that worked well for me when i weighed in at 245 pounds. Just cutting back on a few foodies and alternating to a healthier option also adding few exercises to my daily rouitine helped enourmously.

Your intake:
Breakfast: 2 Yogurts, 2 Poached Eggs, 2 pieces of Toast, 2 Packets of Oatmeal, 4 cups of Coffee.
Instead try this:
Breakfast: 1 Yogurts, 1 Poached Eggs, 1 pieces of Toast, 1 Packets of Oatmeal, 4 cups of Coffee.

Your intake:
Lunch: 1 Roast Beef and Cheese Sandwich, 1 bag of Chips, 1 Banana.
Instead try this:

Lunch: 1 Roast Beef and Cheese Sandwich, 1 Banana...... CUT BACK ON CHIPS ALTERNATE WHITE BREAD TO WHOLEMEAL BREAD

Snack: A few Crackers....
instead: Alternate to piece of fruit healthier option

Dinner: 1/2 Chicken Platter (incl. 1 side of Mashed Potatoes, 1 side of Broccoli, 1 Zucchini Muffin) all from Arby's.
instead: Alternate to small portion 1/2 Chicken Platter with a side salad

Miscellaneous: 4 Bottled Waters... that's great dinking eniough water kills hunger and can help lose weight.

Thats good keep it up. Add cadio and pressups/pushups to your routine, pressups are great for lower abdomen it targets visceral fat that's surrounding our organs. Take this slowly start with 5 minutes cardio adn 10 each of pushups do this every day see how you go for a week.

Try this 1/2 weeks see how you go don't forget to give me a feed back.

God Bless... take care :)
 
Cut back on chips completley as a treat have chips once a week only on a cheat day then next day be good again until your next treat.... :)
