Hey all! This is a new account here on MFP; I had one three years ago and a lot of success because of it. I'm looking to lose about 45lbs right now. I'd love if anyone with a similar goal, age, and/or career (I find that this job is the most exhausting I've ever had and I'd like to find other teachers who have figured out how to balance heath and work...). Feel free to add me! :)

    Hello! I'm 25 & a first year teacher. I must agree, this job is quite exhausting!! I have 49 more pounds to go to reach my goal. Good luck!

    Hi. I'm a high school teacher, and yes, it is exhausting. Overall, my goal is get down to 125-ish pounds. I'd lost about 25 pounds from June to October, stalled then gained 12 back over the last 2 months due to monetary stress. Lack of adequate pay equals its own stress. Teaching has very different stressors than many other fields so finding support from those who get it can help. Feel free to add me. Oh, and I'm 52, so not as young as you!

    Hey! 30 year old elementary school substitute teacher currently doing a one-year program at uni to become a middle + secondary/ high school teacher. Don't have as much to lose, but definitely feel the stress of combining work and enough exercise at times! Will try adding you:)

    Hey there! I'm not a teacher but I am a 22yo correctional social worker so I find balancing career and health super difficult as well! Would love to make some new friends to keep motivated on here.
    I've used this app for years on and off with no results. Trying to give it a good go this time around with small goals. I'm attempting to lose 20lbs over the next 3-4 months first but ideally would like to lose 70lbs+ and get under the 200lbs mark!
