Before this Christmas break, I was at about 193 and loosing weight. I had quit weight training and was just running 7 miles a day for 3 days (on the treadmill), then taking a break on the 4th. My muscles have undergone a bit of dystrophy, but that more or less stopped after a month and I've maintained my muscles mass. After the break, I gained weight from coming back home from my university and feasting daily. So I was at about 198 and decided I needed to loose weight again. The only thing that has changed is my diet. I used to oven bake a large Stouffers meal (for a family of 4), left the oven on warming and picked away at it until it was gone (it lasted about half the day so I only needed about 3-4 more small meals). The Stouffers meals generally had a lot of fat, so instead I switched to my usual meals. I usually have high protein meat (about 2 medium sized chicken or fish fillets) with two handfuls of corn and peas. But more frequently I've been eating the quaker oatmeal weight control cereal, which is basically oatmeal with whey protein, and I've had it low fat milk. Problem is, I'm at 209. This is messed up because I've gained more weight in the same time span than I did when I was pigging out during the break (not a day went by where I didn't fudge and cookies with milk). I have no clue what I'm doing wrong, but this is messed up. I now have about 3-4 small meals with about 3-4 bowls with the oatmeal (2 packets a bowl).
