Default Hi! from Dallas
First day on this message board, just found it actually.

I am 36 and a school teacher, and taking a full load of graduate classes.

I need to lose about 40 pounds and my weakness is fast food. I am never home and always busy with grading homework or doing my own homework. My fiance' lives 35 miles away so between working, going to school and trying to fit him into my life I eat a lot of fast food.

And this is how I got fat.

KATRINA . . . so glad you found us. good luck on the journey to better health and fitness.

Luckily some of the fast food places are starting to get slightly better options -- many have salads and a low-fat dressing option; several offer tortilla wraps with veggies and grilled (instead of battered) chicken and they are not too bad with a side salad and extra LF salad dressing on the wrap instead of mayo.

Welcome Katrina, I am fighting the same battle for the same reasons. Keep your chin up and mind focused on the prize and you will prevail.

Welcome Katrina! You'll find a lot of support and ressources on these boards ! As an elementary teacher myself, I understand how easy it is to get caught in our very very hectic schedules! Please remember that taking time for yourself is important too
