    Holy smokes. 50-70 miles a week? Your a beast!!! You just radiate! Love that smile. Yes, maintenance is just as much a challenge as losing. And you should be proud. Keep up the good work!!!
    Yup, and I'm training for my first marathon this May. We'll see how that goes... O_o I have not gone more than 21 miles consecutively, so 26.2 doesn't seem like too much of a stretch... hopefully.

    I know everyone else has said it but you look great! You look both healthier and happier and I can't be sure if it's cause of your diet or something else but your skin appears clearer now too.

    Yup my face is definitely clearer after adopting a healthier diet. When ever I eat sugar it explodes though! Gotta stay away from the stuff.

    You look fantastic. I agree that maintaining is WAY harder than losing.

    Honestly, you look younger, happier and of course healthier!!!
    Your skin is glowing and well, you look victorious!

    And I'm with you.
    Maintaining is faaaaaar more difficult and I will gain and lose 10-15lbs but never back to what I was. It's simply hard to "be on" all the time and like you said, the colder/darker months are ALWAYS a challenge!!!!
