Hi! My name is Tori, and I'm a 32 year old mom of one boy. I'm a high school teacher, and a student told me about this site Monday when I mentioned that I had started a diet. I can't believe how I react to food when I know that I'm going to make myself log what I ate! I've been measuring out portion sizes instead of just eating what I want, and I find that I'm still full. I've also cut out almost all drinks besides water (I did allow myself 8 oz. of iced tea last night - and how tiny 8 oz. is!). It's finally getting nice here in Ohio, so I can start walking soon. Until then, I'm doing a Jillian Michaels workout DVD 3 times a week. I've lost 8 pounds so far, which sounds like a lot, but I have a long, long way to go. For the first time in my life, though, I feel like I can do it... and that's it not even that big of a deal. Eating better and exercising makes me feel better, so I want to do it.

If anyone would like to talk on here, or be dieting friends, that would be awesome. I'd especially love to talk to fellow teachers - sometimes it's fun to bond over classroom horror stories AND weight loss. Good luck everyone!

Tori

    I'm also a 32 year old Mum. I have 5 kids and I am a part time teacher of a college program.
    I'm new here too (5 days down) and can always use new friends to help motivate me.

    Welcome Tori!

    I'm also a teacher (HS English) and know it's not always easy to stick to a diet with a school schedule. Well, this is a great site to help be accountable and to gain support when you need it. Feel free to add me if you're looking for support.

    Good luck!
