Thanks! Unfortunately I had to throw out a bunch of fruit because I waited too long to eat it and it got moldy. The yogurt is filling me up, though sometimes I can't get enough yogurt! I think its satisfying my sweet tooth also.

I don't know how accurate that weight reading is.I usually weigh myself when I fist get up but, my dog woke me up at 5 am wanting to go out so I weighed myself after walking her. I also tried some different exercises. I only did ten of the renegade rows b/c it was extremely hard to not only stay in that position and keep the dumbbells from rolling lol.

Hey Matt, I'm new here and just stumbled across your journey. I'm not sure if you are doing this yet, but I skimmed through your posts and didn't see that you're doing any HIIT cardio. Do this if you hit a weight loss plateau and the fat loss is inevitable after that.
Good Luck!
Good Luck!

A little? Wowsers Matt!
Yeah I know. Understatement of the year, right?
You are the only person I know that eats all that crap and doesn't gain a lb...HAHAHA, are you human?!? When I lived in Texas I would visit Cici's once a month (my dad loved it), the cheese/garlic bread were my favorite I would have 3-4 squares (apart from Hawaiian pizza of course)...but I can't imagine eating ALL of what you just described, I would be in food coma/lethargic for 2 days at least. 
I know you have said it before, but I forgot it, what's your goal 6 again?
On another note, keep up the good work with all the exercise Matt...it's keeping your metabolism in check for those cheat days, which means you are doing the right thing! ;-)

LOL! I love the garlic bread! Well I love pizza in general. Well CiCi's IS all you can eat, so I want to get my moneys worth haha. Goal 6 is 225-200 lbs so I'm nearing that goal. Yeah keep in mind that before that was an average day for me so you can see why I was fat.
