Hi! Is anyone a teacher?

Options
Hi, I'm Victoria, and I'm 32 years old. I am a fifth grade gifted teacher in Florida and am in my eleventh year of teaching. I love my job, but with stringent expectations put upon us in the field, I have gained a bit of weight in just over a decade. I hope to lose about 35-40 pounds; I currently weigh 171.5.

Excited to find teachers... feel free to add me. =)

    I work with seventh graders right now but in the afternoons I move to a Kindergarten class. I feel like the younger grades are harder because there are always birthday snacks and holiday parties.

    I'm a supply teacher. Usually K-3 but have done all levels. My biggest issue is that it's hard to work out after spending all day on my feet. I just want to crash at the end of the day. Maybe the exhaustion wouldn't hit so hard if I had my own regular room rather than being thrust into new situations each day. But perhaps it would be worse because then I'd have to prep and deal with parents and administrators haha.

    Hi! I'm in my 29th year of teaching in Canada. I've taught Kindergarten through to Gr. 8 in the classroom. Out of the classroom, I've taught special education and library. Recently I decided to make the move to high school to teach spec. ed. at the secondary level. I teach students with autism and I love it! We have the best job in the world because each year is a fresh start. I have loved the opportunity to change grades/ positions etc. This has kept my career fun and interesting.
    Teaching however, does present challenges for weight loss. Drinking water when we can't exit the room when needed is one major one.

    I'm a k-3 reading specialist in my 16th year of teaching. I have about 60 lbs to lose. I would love to have any fellow teachers add me as a friend.... I think only teachers truly understand the stress of teaching!!!
