Trying to lose weight for what feels like the 5 millionth time. Hoping this time it sticks. My 20th high school reunion is coming up in September and I'm going on vacation in December. I would love to feel better about myself and the way I look as well as just feel better by then.

I'm a 37-year-old ICU nurse. I graduated with my nursing degree in 2023 and am currently working on my master's to then become a NP.

Would love to make friends with any fellow nurses/healthcare workers, especially those who face the struggle of night shift and staying healthy.

    Hi Sara,

    I get it! I am on my 50th time trying to lose this weight! I am not a nurse but come from a family of healthcare providers! I'd love to take this journey with you.

    I work in law enforcement (as a probation/parole officer). I want to be my best self as I prepare for retirement within the next 4 years!

    I will be 65 this year and continue to try. Life has its challenges and many ups and downs that we need to veer our way through.

    Good job on your schooling and career choice, you will help many people along the way.

    Your hurdles are learning opportunities on how to help others and treat them with respect.
