Looking for an internet friend to lose 50 lbs with

Hi, densa1! I am also a teacher, but with a lot more weight to lose. I started last Wednesday and have been keeping track since then. I also notice we're in the same Biggest Loser challenge (the one starting tomorrow). What do you teach?

I am also a teacher, looking to lose about 50lbs (For now.) I am always up for more motivation friends!

We should start an educator group... there are probably enough of us on here!

I teach middle school and have had weight problems all my life. Didn't address them until about five years ago on Weight Watchers. I lost 75 pounds, injured myself and used it as an excuse to get off track. I've regained it all back.

Hey Chestnutlass!

Hey there, I am a teacher too -- primary school, currently Grades 5 and 6 (middle school in the US??). I have been on and off diets for more than half my life (in particular I was a serial Weight Watchers' member -- I think at last count I joined 9 times, and only succeeded once, then promptly gained the weight back again).
I have finally decided that I'm tired of the yo-yoing and am now trying to develop a healthier approach to life, including a bit of work/life balance. I moved my family near the beach, looking forward to more outdoor activities but ironically I am about 24 pounds heavier than I was before the move, as I now have to travel much further to school.
All up I'm looking to lose around 45 pounds to get back to a healthy weight range -- so a long answer to a short question -- I'm happy to be your buddy and have someone to be accountable to/for.
Great idea, redhaiku -- maybe we should start up an educator group!

I am not a teacher but would love to be a support buddy. I was laid off for a year and was finally successful at landing a new job 3 months ago. I eating habits got pretty lax because I was home alone all day. I have done Weight Watchers, NutriSystem, LAWL, even a few invented diets from things I had heard from other people. So I am back on the wagon again. My best success was with LAWL so am trying to replicate their program on my own. Since they closed here in NC about 2 years ago, I lost money and see they now have an online program but do not want to give them anymore money!

Not a teacher either...but my husband is in education Would love to have some buddies to lose weight with!!! I work full time and have 2 kids (5 yrs & 18 months). I started tracking my food intake last week and am starting Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred today.

I would love to join you as well, however I am not a teacher.

hi all.. my name is ida and i have 50+ lbs to lose. Also looking to make a support group of friends.. I am 32 and have tried it all only to lose about 20 lbs then give up and fall back to old habits. NOT this time.

I would love to join. Having support and being "accountable" to others helps keep me on track. I have been yo-yoing with the same 40 pounds for a while now and am ready to lose it for good.

By the way...how do you get the weight loss bar to show at the end of your post?

hi! I'm a cert. teacher with no classroom.. working as a TA now but thats another story... I have over 50 lbs to lose and also joined the biggest loser challenge here!lets help each other! I'm so done with the yoyo game...
