Nice progress, that was a nice drop in weight. Keep going!!! This is a new low for you?
 
Good job Matt, keep pushing it! You should really try for at least once or twice a week to do a home cooked meal instead of eating processed food or out...I don't know how your schedule looks like, but a change like that can make a huge difference on your weight loss journey and in eventually changing your diet to healthier choices (you will become more conscious of what it is exactly that you are putting on your body).

Have a wonderful weekend!!!

Wow, you're awesome! I really like seeing that you only had one Pepsi on this day. You've come a long way and I admire all you've accomplished. Journaling your food in this way is an excellent way to succeed! Keep it going!

My weight starting to go up again I hope it's not the start of a trend. I'm guessing it's because I had to work earlier and I weighed myself earlier. Unfortunately I fell victim to a craving for sweets so I had some candy.

My weight is going in the wrong direction AGAIN. Like Kaplooie said, it may be water retention, I probably should be drinking more water. (Though couldn't diet iced tea technically be considered water? I mean its basically flavored water.)
 
Matt, I can't say that I was a big lover of water, but made myself get used to it. You can do it! The more water you drink the better you will feel. Diet iced tea & Pepsi is too far removed from nature & so full of artificial stuff to provide what our bodies need. Our minds are so strong that I'm sure you can make yourself get used to it, if you make the decision to do so. Persevere. Try cutting down on salt too(it's in most processed food). I try to weigh myself weekly only as my weight fluctuates a lot & it can do your head in.
You can do this Matt! Cheers, Cate
 
I'm with Cate on that, diet anything is a chemical shit storm. Look at the nutrition label and see if it has sodium in it. Not that I'm anti sodium, your body needs some, but not as much as the standard american diet will have you consuming.

Weight: 291.8

Ok my weight went down finally. I drank a crap load of water today (...and spent most of the day peeing lol) I guess that's another one of my problems I love salt too much. BTW the diet iced tea has 35 mg of sodium per 12 oz serving.I drink Gold Peak Iced tea fyi.
