    Hi all, this is my second month on this challenge. Last month I lost six pounds in the first two weeks, whilst still in the challenge, then put two pounds back on after getting hit and miss for the last two weeks. So that's my motivation for this month!

    As for me, I'm 30, a teacher, British, and aiming to lose 60 pounds this year. Recently started C25k again (completed our once two years ago) to slowly get back into running and I also am trying to do body revolution every day.

    Hello group. My name is Anna. I'm a 52 yr old over weight
    PE teacher. I taught PE/Health in middle school
    for 11 yrs and have been at my current elementary
    position for six yrs. I love my job but I hate the way I look
    and feel. I have never been this heavy and it is
    embarrassing to look like this and teach PE. I feel like
    a hypocrite. I haven't been able to lose on my own.
    I think joining MFP will make the difference. I have
    to do this for myself and for my students.

    Welcome to the group. :)

    I had an obese P.E. teacher in high school. She was always a bit of an inspiration to me. I was overweight too--I have been all my life--, and it was heartening to see someone my size exercising every day. Sort of like: just because you have a certain body size, it doesn't mean you can't be active or even make a career out of being active and teaching others to be.

    Hi, I'm Heather. I know I am too late to join.. but I added myself to the group to follow and get a feel for things until the April one comes around. I hope you all don't mind me being a (secretly active) watcher for the rest of the month. Good luck all!
