I am currently enrolled in a teaching credential program and plan on teaching high school social science. I coach JV football at our local high school. It is frustrating that I can be so good at motivating others, but I cannot motivate myself to lose weight. I have been overweight my entire life and it has affected my confidence and self-esteem most of my life. I have tried several different diets in the past and some have worked where others haven't, but I have always found a way to put the weight back on. This time I am looking at this as a "lifestyle" change instead of a diet. I am hoping to meet some new friends on this site that will help keep me motivated as I will help them.

My Goals:
lose 160lbs
look and feel good when I go to Hawaii (summer 2012)
Run/Jog a 5k
Scuba Diving
recapture my confidence and self-esteem
go shopping at any store I want and know they will have my size

Hope to hear from some of you, feel free to add me
Thanks for reading my post
