Hi! My Name IS ...

edited January 28 in Introduce Yourself
My name is Jen and I am 38 years old and have quite a bit of weight to lose. I teach the in school suspension class at the local high school, and I love it. I love the challenge. Although the job is not physically demanding, it can be emotionally draining. This is a dangerous combination when you are an emotional eater. Fortunately, I have a good game plan ahead and plenty of time this summer to make it a routine. The teacher in me says that planning is the key, and if it is, then this time may just be my time to dump my excess baggage.

I am looking for friends to keep me accountable and to cheer me on. In return, I will do the same for you.

    Hi. There's a lot of support here. I'm an educator too...principal. Getting fit helped me perform better at work and relieves a lot of stress so I can focus on home.
