I am a overweight 31 year old. I started using Calorie counters after I came up with the idea of doing the Biggest Loser at my school. I teach in a Middle School and several of us had been talking about losing weight. I brought up the idea and then my principal heard about it and it all started happening. Now we have teams with trainers and weigh in dates. i have always struggled with losing weight. when I was younger i was anorexic and never want to go back to that again. I know that I am a emotional eater and hate myself because of it. I have always let the food control me. I have now decided that I am going to control it. I have lost almost 10 pounds inthe last month and am excited about going to back to school after the holidays and see how my team mates have done.
