Hello all! My name is Jessica and I am trying to get back into working out and eating healthy. I have tried to get into a schedule.. and a few weeks (or should I say - days) later I am back to my excuses. I am hoping to find some friends on here to help support and push me when I need it. :wink:

I am a teacher and I am also looking for any other teachers who might have some ideas on how to keep up the 'schedule' of eating/drinking/working out...

    Hi Jessica!

    I am the same way! I make excuses all the time. you really just need to get into a routine and try and stick with it. I have certain days I go to the gym and I dont make any plans at the time. I have a schedule I keep on google which really helps me.

    With eating.. I usually plan my meals out the day before so I dont just eat what I feel and when I feel. I also drink a ton of water through out the day.

    Support is key!

    Hi,
    I am Yvette and I am 25 years old and a teach 1st grade. You can reach your goals. We have to fight for our happiness because everyone deserves to feel and be happy. I have battled being obese all my life. Losing weight and gaining it right back. I started at my heaviest I was 273 lbs. I started in June at 227lbs and my current weight is 164 lbs. I am striving to meet my goal and lose the last 14 lbs of my weight, but I know that I have to continue this lifestyle forever if I don't want to ever return to the old me. I am on here a lot to keep myself motivated and give support and encouragement. Everyday I battle my old habits. Lets encourage and help one another on this weight loss and fitness journey to a healthier us. The more friends the better.

    I'm a teacher as well. Just started working out for summer vacation, and I really hope I can keep it up once school starts up again. Good luck on your journey!
