Thumbs up I have over a hundred pounds to go.....

I am new to this site and am looking for a buddy that also has alot of weight to lose. I have gained about 90 pounds since I was married 12 years ago. It came on slowly, about 7 or 8 pounds a year. I have 3 kids ages 11, 9, and 5. I substitute teach and am going to school in the fall working on my teacher's credential. Hopefully with support and determination, I can reach my goals!

Hi! We have almost the same stats, I certainly understand all you're going thru. I also have 3 kids who are very close in age to yours too!
Would love to buddy up as we trek our way thru this journey. PM me if you'd like, I can definitely use the support!

Best of luck to you, I know you can do this. You will find tons of information on this site and lots of motivation!

Look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Apeloo,

I have more than a hundred pounds to go.... I am a teacher, too. I substitute taught in the past and then taught middle school and high school English for 3 years. Now I teach elementary special education.

DearMili,

I work with a student with Asperger's Syndrome and I enjoy working with him so much. Working with kids with Asperger's and Autism has got to be one of the most challenging things to do.

You must have your hands full with 3 teenagers, too!

Hey everybody thanks for writing and giving support. Everyday I write down my food and calories. I try to eat around 1600 calories a day. I like being free to eat whatever I want, and just stop eating when my calories are up. What diet is working for you guys?
