    I'm a high school Spanish teacher and am in my 25th year. Today is my birthday and I turned 53. I feel so much healthier than 2 years ago when I started taking care of myself. I was down 52 pounds, but this last semester I lost focus with the stress of school.

    I am the department lead and the district finally agreed to hire another teacher to help with our huge class loads. The problem was that they would only agree to hire a long term sub! It took 6 weeks to find someone who would agree to this and I had to make sure that those six classes had lessons and grades. Then, right before Thanksgiving, one of my teacher's was arrested for public lewdness (sex with an adult in a park!!) and resigned, Again, I was responsible for making sure his 4 classes had lessons and grades. Fortunately, I have a great team of teachers who stepped up to help with all of this mess.
    So, since September, I put on 10 pounds!

    I restarted my regular exercise routine last week with Jillian Michaels' Body Revolution. I had already completed 30 Day Shred (twice) and Ripped in 30 (once) and had great results. I have a love/hate relationship with Jillian.

    My goal is to FINALLY reach my goal weight this year. That means I have 15-20 pounds to go.

    You can do this!!

    I teach at a Reggio-inspired Montessori preschool. I'm currently working with infants, but I've worked with children infancy through 8th grade. I still need to go back to school to get my license for K-6, but I have no idea when / how that will happen. ;) Feel free to add me!

    Reggio Emilia is a pretty interesting approach. Do you enjoy it?

    I am a middle school guidance counselor. Does that count? If so, I am interested in connecting with teachers and other school-related careers.

    Nearly finished a second degree which will allow me to teach English to secondary students in Australia. Taught ESL for 8 years as well as Portuguese at night classes at a Uni. Now have 2 subjects to go but am working at a university not teaching :( can't wait to graduate (again!) and get a school job. Started ignoring the scales as they have not changed pretty much since I started my program (which is basically weight lifting and diet plan). Body has started to change, but I think I can kiss my deluded 58kg goal goodbye because it just won't happen! So I'm concentrating more on body shape. Currently 67kg.

    Band Director/General Music -- Mississippi. 20 year veteran teacher with 28 years in retirement. Have lost from 344-214. Back up around 240 +/- but do lift some so it is not as bad as the numbers appear. Yes, the stresses of legislative initiatives will drive you to do more than gain weight if you let it. Key is not to let it. Best wishes to you!

    I'm a 6th grade social studies teacher. I can teach social studies, elementary school, and special Ed in the state of Kentucky. On an aside, I am down 130 pounds in a year. So much so that my current students didn't believe my before pic was me. I understand the stress involved and limited time you have. Feel free to add me for support and motivation but please send me a message as well.
