How's school going? It's amazing how much time it takes out of your week, isn't it?

so, no gym and basically a maintenance eating plan right now. i'm gone from 7a-7p so i carry most of my food with me. the scale hops around a bit, but i've been in a holding pattern for the last two months, which i consider an accomplishment, since i've never been able to hold my weight steady. so, i'm still here with a slight change in priorities (make it through the semester without gaining!) and hopefully, my summer schedule will be a bit more forgiving!
Maintenance can be a triumph on it's own. It can be really hard to do, since the natural tendency is to gain weight back. I've managed to get back on track a little, although at some point I was thinking the same... hold until the semester is over and then try and hit it harder. Good luck with the maintenance.

Hey there Karen. I was wondering how the rest of the semester went (and if you're off for the summer now). I pretty much let go of everything during the last month of the semester myself, and now I'm losing the weight I gained during that period. Hmmm... it always seems to come off slower than it went on.
Anyway, just wondered how you were doing. Hope everything is okay.

Bet you're glad it's warmed all the way up to the thirties this week, huh Karen?
