One year on MFP = 80lb loss (pics)

Thanks. Well, I've gained back a bit of weight. I'm in graduate school right now, and the first year was really easy to lose weight, but these last two years I've been teaching while taking courses, so I've been stress eating and not exercising as much (I've been doing 12 hour days at the University every day). MFP has been wonderful though, because I think without logging calories every day for the last three years, I'm sure I would have gained a lot more weight back. As it is I'm just bouncing up and down the "healthy" weight range for my height, which I'll probably always do. Now that it's summer me and my husband made a 13 week challenge to go to the gym and eat at a deficit again. I think the best thing is to just always keep with it. I hadn't been to the gym all semester, so going was tough, but every time you go you get a bit more muscle memory, and it becomes easier for the future. I may not be as fit as I would have liked to be at this point, but I think I've significantly improved a lot of my lifestyle habits. I think the best part is that I still don't buy food I know I'll eat all of in one setting, and I still enjoy going outdoors and being active. I think the hardest part of maintaining is realizing there isn't really an "end goal" anymore and it makes it seem a bit less special. So I'm working on how to make it feel special again.
