throw away your scale. they are evil and don't tell the whole story if your doing any kind of weight training along with dieting. i have weighed between 190 and 195 for the last few months but i can see the real differance when i step in front of the mirror or put on a pair of jeans. keep doing those bodyweight squats. they work the big muscles in the legs/hips which will burn alot of calories. good job on not drinking soda at home but try not to drink it anywhere. when i stopped drinking coke i was cutting over 1000 calories a week of of my diet. another easy way to remove calories from your diet is portion size, simply eat less of what you have. if you go out to eat don't feel you have to clean your plate. eat what you need and either take home the rest or toss it. continue keeping track of your progress, it really makes a differance. i suggest keeping a food log when you are at home as well. record everything you eat in a day and review it, cutting out unneccesary eating. remember you have to burn or cut out 3500calories to drop a pound of fat.
