Okay, but just one other thing: I've made only ONE excuse to go off plan that was limited to this month. As it so happens, this month is almost over so that excuse will expire very soon. Have I made other excuses apart from this? There are no other excuses outside of this month that exist. But it's a terrible month anyway since I only managed to visit one buffet for the whole month so far. There were better Februaries in the past. My parents, and in particular my mother's situation and the full-time job is just too darn oppressive to leave the home to go anywhere on my own like that, even if it's a productive place like the Gym. It's like being chained to a heavy weight.
Let me say this in the nicest way possible.
You might be fooling yourself, but you aren't fooling any of us.
12 pounds is a completely insignificant amount of weight when you are starting where you are starting. You could have lost half of that in the first week. Easily. Why? Because a good amount of that is inflammatory weight which is the first to go.
So what you have left is you lost 6 lbs in like 12 weeks. Which is a half a pound a week, which would be fine for a guy at 10% bodyfat since he doesn't have much fat to pull from but honestly a joke for someone at your weight.
2 lbs a week is the bare minimum you should be aiming for. In comparison, at 245 lbs after 12 weeks, I was at 212 lbs. And even that wasn't as good as it should have been because I got stuck after the first few weeks and had to figure things out for 2-3 weeks where I basically stayed even.
Either commit to doing it or stop wasting yourself and everyone else's time.
