But I have completely leveled out. And if I have lots of sugar one day or eat something unhealthy BOOM I put on weight like that, 3 days in a row of slightly poor eating and I gain like 10 lbs. Obviously this is normal I guess.
What I am hoping to do is take in a bit healthier of a diet and figure out some sort of a work out plan that fits my lifestyle. I am assuming you and I have the same sort of sit around lifestyle.
If we could chat about it I would UBER appreciate your time. I can use any help you can give me.

No problem Brad, I'm happy to help.
If you haven't looked at my HFCS & Trans fat post... check it out. You may be taking in bad foods and not even know it.
In regards to taking a few days off... eating poor 2-3 meals in a row... Here's the deal. You need to set a routine. 1 day a week allow yourself to cheat. Eat anything/drink anything you want for one or two meals out of the day. The rest of the week you absolutely must eat clean though! No if's and's or buts. You'll get so used to eating healthy it will come second nature.
Now here's the crazy part... Because you'll be eating clean ( will post clean foods later ) all week. Low cal/ low fat / high fiber / etc... When you do have your cheat day, your body will be in shock from all the extra calories, thus burning 2x as hard then normal. You may even loose weight immediately after a cheat day... THIS ONLY WORKS IF YOU'VE BEEN EATING CLEAN THOUGH!
Brad, I'm going to field some of these other questions real quick... but hold tight! I'll be posting some more general info that will apply to you.
