    Hey all!

    I’m 28, 5’9” and weighed in at 291. I’m a high school teacher and full time father to two amazing little dudes! I’m new on this journey and could use some support.

    Thanks!

    Doug L.

      If you don't mind me asking, what subject do you teach in high school? I always love coming across teachers, because I am in my fifth year of college with an art education major and art history minor with the hopes of teaching high school.

      But feel free to add me. :)

      Oh, about calling it a journey... Would a super, amazing, battlestar galactic adventure suffice? (Smile)
