I am an educator. This year I made the jump from teaching severe special education students to becoming a special education administrator. It's a high-stress job. I have gained more than 50 pounds in my 25 years in education, and I also struggle with hypothyroidism. I'm trying to get my life under control.

    Are you interested in a Challenge?

    The Biggest Loser goes for 10 weeks. It consists of 10 teams participating in weekly Fitness and Nutrition challenges. The Spring challenge will be getting started the beginning of March. It consists of fitness and nutrition challenges that are often in a form of a game. If for some reason you cannot do a challenge then they are modified to meet your needs. Often we do the challenge in a game form, we have BINGO and TIC TAC TOE or seasonally themed. For Winter we had Help Santa Fill His Sleigh, Run Rudolf Run and Super Bowl. If you decide this might be for you you can leave your name on the waitlist for the Spring challenge. To get to the Challenge go to my page and click on the Blue Biggest Loser Icon, copy and paste the link below, or let me know and I can send you an invite. Join the Team then sign up on the waitlist. It’s the thread right below the Frosted Fitness Fun Chit Thread.

    Thanks for adding me as a friend. I just read your information at the top of your page and we actually have a lot in common. I was an art teacher for four years and then got laid off. I went back to school and got a masters degree in special ed and was then hired back by my district as the teacher for the severely emotionally disturbed primary classroom. I also gained 30 lbs while I was doing that job. After three years, the district combined the primary and intermediate SED classrooms and I was transferred to a regular special ed classroom. I couldn't believe what a difference it made to my stress level. I have since lost that extra weight. I hope you find some ways to cut your stress. It's not easy, but it is so important.
