Logged in this morning and saw this: herrshiro has logged in for 500 days in a row!

It's definitely a different experience these last few months, working on maintenance instead of weight loss. I'm still down 76 pounds from when I started MFP. I was down 85 pounds at one point (going from 277 to 192), and I lost the bulk of that weight in the first five months. Here's a recent picture from the 4th of July.

I've been going over my calorie limit a lot lately, but I'm keeping an eye on things and have wanted to intentionally gain some weight back. I got a little gaunt, to my surprise, and have developed some wicked wrinkles and smile lines. Still better than being fat though!

Going over still worries me, but I know how to lose weight through calorie counting, so I feel I can handle it if I ever put on more weight than I want. Thanks MFP!

    Congrats! You look awesome! (And totally smokin'.)

    And 500 days in a row isn't anything to shake a stick at either. Gratz! That's dedication. <3

    Congratulations! That's quite some dedication.
    And congratulations on that weight loss.

    PS- I see you're from L.A. I lived there (Hollywood) for nearly 10 years. I decided to move back 'home' a couple years ago, but I'm missing L.A. ALOT!
