in Introduce Yourself
I'm fairly new here. 11 days in...8 pounds lost. I am LOVING this site. It's my second time here...tried it last autumn, but just wasn't ready to commit to it, and gave up. Now that I'm using all of it....logging food, exercise, talking on the message boards, synching my Nike+ and my Jawbone UP, it is working!

I'm looking for more people to connect with here. I love the social aspect of the message boards and the newsfeed....I sure wish we could access the boards from the Moblie app. Hopefully someday!

Anyway...I'm a preschool teacher, and a director as well. It would be fun to connect with other teachers, but I'm don't discriminate! :happy:

I love gardening :flowerforyou: coffee :drinker: reading, knitting, crocheting, cooking, swimming, facebooking, my iPhone, and sleeping :yawn: .

Please add me if you'd like. I'm kinda fun. :tongue: :laugh:

    Hi Kristi,

    Great job on your loss so far! :)
    I'm not a teacher, but I do have a four, almost 5, year old little girl so I can relate on hanging out with kiddos ;)
    Anyhow, I love the social aspect as well and would be happy to encourage each other along the way!

    Good luck!

    Not a teacher, but a Speech Pathologist Assessor (I work in schools) does that count?
    Congrats on your loss so far!

    I lost approximately 70lbs about a year ago (and kept it off) - so you can totally do this!

    Just about to finish my 26th year as a high school drama teacher (done English and Geography too). The goal I set for myself when I started last August was to lose 120 pounds, so I'm in for the long haul too. I've lost 34 and feel great--in fact, I feel so good I'm rewarding myself by auditioning for Calendar Girls this evening. Gotta do something good and scary every now and then, right?

    I'm a high school special ed teacher, and a transfer from WW to MFP. I love the social aspect of this site, and all my friends keep dropping out :-(. I'm in it for the long haul, so welcome new friends to help make this journey as much fun as possible. I've lost about 63 pounds in the past 17 months or so - slow and steady wins the race! Feel free to friend me.

    I spent four years teaching high school business. Then I took a year off to finish off my Master's degree in Library and Information Services. My ultimate goal is to get a job as a school librarian somewhere. I'll graduate in August so I've been looking hard for jobs. they're not exactly easy to come by.

    I've been on here a few months and lost just shy of 30 pounds. My goal is 75 pounds so a decent amount. I love adding new friends.
