Stress!
LOL I really wanted to buy those extra set of sport wheels you had.
I lost a lot of weight by attacking it with smaller meals (eating Breakfast/lunch/dinner at the Army dining, strange for a Captain but it saved money too), cutting out excess calories (sometimes I would just eat a banana or apple for lunch, CROSSFIT!
Cross fit is freaking evil. I hate it but the shock that it does to your body is what I needed to get out of the same work out routine.
Oh yeah I also drank a over 100 oz of water a day. I bought one of Nagalene 32 oz cups and made sure to continually stay hydrated. I also threw in some Alli pills to block fat just for extra measure.
My biggest issue was just diet, fuking Costco pizza is the devil and it is cheap

Snacks were another issue but I just went from snacking on stupid-ish to grabbing a pear, apple, or banana from the Dining facility along with plenty of coffee throughout the day.
Last tip...reduce alcohol and non-water beverages. Those drinks have empty calories and a lot of it too. Low-cal beer does taste like crap though.
