HELP IN MONTANA! Still gaining despite work

SharpeMichael

I'm 31 years old, 6-2" and 194 lbs...2 years ago I returned home from BCT and AIT weighing 175lbs. Granted you burn many many calories doing this. Since then I have gone all the way up to 200 lbs. and down like a yo yo. I recently changed my eating habits (they weren't bad to begin with just portion control) to lose fat around my midsection. I am fit and lift and work our regular and have been for years. I run, I compete in races and currently signed up for a Spartan Sprint. However for the love of god I can not lose weight...I count every single calorie...I drink a good amount of water every day (Army motto "drink water") I don't drink soda, I gave up my love of Gatorade, I allow myself one beer here and there but avoid it for the most part. I pretty much eat chicken and salad and brown right in some form another as a daily staple. One program gives me (MyNetDiary) says I have 2441 calories to consume a day...I usually don't come close to that, I consume on average right around 1500-1800. I flux so much, one day I weighed 196 then the next day was 191...then no weight loss or gain for a day or two then BAM! I start gaining weight again...if anyone one has some advice I am soooooo eager to hear!
