Do you ever see a L/M gain from an XL day?
Okay, this is totally subjective, but I want to ask about others' experience: While I'm dialing in maintenance (and weighing a bit on the light side), I've had some way over goal days (goal is 1800 net now; we're talking 4000+ day(s)). While losing, I've been quite accurate at predicting the gain or delay from mildly…

When do the comments stop?
Right, so I've been in maintenance for well over a year now. Yet every time I go back home to visit family and friends (moved away for university purposes), it seems like I'm still getting subjected to a barrage of comments about my size.
