  • I weigh officially every Monday to keep me accountable on the weekend. I pay myself a dollar if I stay the same, and $2 if I gain. I save the money and then I am going to give it away to my daughter or to charity at the end of the year. I HATE parting with $$$. This has helped me more than anything, but I wouldn't wait a…

  • Stay positive. I am a teacher, too. The main thing I ask myself everyday is Do these kids know I love them? and Did they learn today? I bet you are an awesome teacher. The weight thing...just keep trying. I just read earlier about a lady who has walked 347 miles in one year. Wow! I'm going to start keeping track. That may…
