I don't teach - I'm just an instructional assistant in SpecialEd. Specifically Autism (behavioral / social). Always very busy, pretty stressful and keeps me on my toes! I'm grateful for our long summer holidays so I can visit family overseas, so it works for me!

Thank-you!

Wow...I'm really impressed and from your profile pic, you've obviously done superb on the weight loss side. Tell us more please, interested to know how long it took for you to get used this lifestyle.

I've been trying 16/8 for 2 weeks now. I'm a teachers assistant in SpEd and start work again next week, so wanted to see if I could manage it before then. My window is 11am - 7pm.
