Hello I am Laura from Ohio. I teach kindergarten by day and come home to 3 teens at night! For the past year I have been to the gym 4-5 days per week working out for over an hour each time. My family is a very much meat and potatoes and I am trying to break that but salads make us "cranky". My goal is to loose 30-40 lbs by summer time.

    Hi there. I'm also a Kindergarten teacher. I just turned 36 in November. I have two kids. A son who will be 11 in February and a daughter that just turned 6 three days before Christmas. This is my 14th year teaching. Today was my weigh-in day and I was happy to see a 3.5 pound loss. My goal is set to 132 (because 135 is the high end of my healthy range and because I don't even know what I'll look like at that weight, sad but true) and today I was 172 even. That means I have 40 pounds to lose. I am really, really hoping, (as my principal likes to say, "Hope isn't a strategy."), so not just hoping, but TRYING to make it happen.... I was to lose that 40 pounds by the end of May/beg of June for summer. Then I will reevaluate from there.

    Anyhow... good luck to you! Add me if you'd like. :D
