Hi!
My name is Jacque and I'm a single mom in Salt Lake City, UT and I started on a goal to lose about 100 pounds last summer. I lost 25 pretty quickly that summer, but when the school year started (I'm a teacher), I lost all motivation and energy. I maintained for most of the year, but in the end of the year stress, I even gained a little. Since school got out I'm down 9.5 and looking to continue my journey to a healthier, fitter, happier me. I was using other paid weight loss programs, but just couldn't keep up the costs, so now I'm trying this out.

I would love to find others locally or otherwise to support me on my journey.

    Hello! I don't live close to you but our goals are about the same. I've lost 59lbs with another 11lbs to go. I too work in a school but in a daycare so it's a bit different. Can you bring fitness to work? Maybe take the kids outside and run or skip rope with them? One of the teachers in the school I work in takes his music class at the end of the day, 20 minutes before the bell, and let's them just run around. It will take time. Took me about a year and a half to loose the weight so far, I had ups and downs. Feel free to add me if I sound interesting. ;)
