Wow, great job maintaining your loss! My biggest struggle is to resist binging and totally going off the deep-end. About 4 years ago I lost 90 lbs and got down to 138.

Hi! I'm about to enter my second year of teaching middle schoolers, so I know how stressful your life probably is during the school year. I am loving having this summer to recuperate, and hopefully get back some of my health before the start of the school year. Good luck with continuing your healthy habits!
