Hi eveyone!

My name is Teri. I'm 37 years old, a second grade teacher, wife for 12 years, and a mom to two awesome kiddos; a son, 10, and daughter, 7.

In my amazingly long weight loss journey that has spanned over 16 years, I have gained and lost many pounds. :) Currently I'm down about 70 pounds from my highest non pregnancy weight. (We wont go there!) I have another 15-20 pounds to lose to get to my goal weight and they are being stubborn!!

I would love to have some motivating friends and having a sense of humor is a great plus!

Thanks!

    Add me! I'm a mom of 2, ages 2 and 10 months. I'm in the horrifying stages of realizing how much weight I gained since my first child. I've decided to measure my success by pant sizes, because I've always been naturally heavier than most women. I was a size 6 and weighed 165. And that was only because I couldn't afford food for one semester in college. So my normal weight is about 175. I'm a good 40 lbs off, and just spent two weeks with my amazing (but also incredibly in-shape) sister-in-law. I love her to death, but her biggest problem since her first child is that she lost weight beyond her pre-baby weight. She's exactly like my mom, who had 7 kids and snapped back to a size 6 every time. Yes, I'm jealous. No, I don't hate them. But damn it, I want to be a hot mom too.

    Im Marketa and I'm a teacher and a mum too. What I've learned over the past ten years is that the best way to gain weight is to a. Become a teacher and b. Have kids of your own... Yeah... Enough said! Please add me because I still can't work out how to add others :/
