Teacher who wants to lose weight.

i am same age and also same story,it is hard,i think...and this should be right up your street...we need re-educating.We can al help each other!

I think teachers and MFP are awesome. Sending you a friend request.

I'm a high school teacher, just finishing my first year. I've lost 15 pounds through making better eating choices, and not having time/food available to snack throughout the day. Yea!!!

I'm using MFP to keep myself on track through the summer and to train myself to make better choices by habit.

Thank you!

Middle School teacher also. Today was our last day, want to go back feeling like I acomplished something for me!

Hi, fellow teachers!! I teach high school math and it took me until my 40's to get serious about my health. But now life is good!! : )

Hi There,
HS teacher here too. I can honestly say I never seem to leave my room for breaks. Looking for quick easy healthy meal options I can eat on the go in the morning and while my class is at lunch. I don't really have time to go to the lunch room and the options there are way too tempting. Especially looking for ideas while attending family parties ans bbq's. Do you bring your own food?

Also, what do you all do for exercise and when do you find time to fit it in? I tutor most afternoons and then play taxi driver for my kids activities. Looking for some effective but quick exercise options. Open to all suggestions at this point. We are going on a weekend cruise in Aug. and I really want to feel comfortable in pictures not ashamed to have let myself go again.

Hope to hear from you

Another teacher here, in UK...you can't have too many friends so feel free to add me.

I gave up biscuits/cookies for Lent and have slipped back into old habits, so gave myself a stern talking to the other day and I am focussing on unprocessed foods, no sugar, ready for wearing my bikini in Dubai in two months' time :happy:

Physics and science teacher - lost 16.8kg since joining in January. Feel free to add me as friend. Fiona :-)

Hi!! I'm a HS Spanish teacher in the US...but an English teacher here in Spain...for another week haha! Sending you a friend request!

I'm a teacher also and just started on here two days ago! I'm 43 and my profile sounds just like yours! Maybe we can support each other!

Middle school teacher here, also in my mid-40's! I've been at this a year and can honestly say IT WORKS! As always, you will get out of it what you put into it, but the support from others is what will motivate you to keep going even on those days you get overwhelmed.

Snacking ideas: laughing cow cheese wedges with celery, carrots or crackers, or as a cheese/mayo substitute on sandwiches; skinny cow ice cream bars; cut up fresh veggies (if you pre-cut them when you buy them, they are just as handy to grab as chips/crackers and much lower in calories and carbs)

Dessert/sweet snacks: take a box of angel food cake mix (just the mix, not all the other ingredients) and a can of reduced-sugar pie filling; mix together, and spoon into 18 muffin cups. Each one is about 90 calories

100-calorie oreo dessert: mix together Fat Free cream cheese and Fat Free cool whip; fold in 12 crushed reduced-fat oreos. Spread in a pan, then sprinkle with 8 additional crushed oreos. Serves 8 for under 100 calories each.

I'll be a teacher in the fall....not that it makes a huge difference to weight loss. Welcome, and feel free to add me if you'd like!

HEY EVERYONE! THERE IS A TEACHER GROUP ON HERE. CHECK IT ON MY PROFILE! (sorry for the caps, but I wanted to get your attention)

I'm a special ed teacher. I've been there and done that too. I've been using mfp since February and have lost 52 lbs as of today. I firmly believe that this time its going to stick! If anyone would like to add me that would be welcomed. Can't go wrong with support!

I teach Kinder!
