Hi all,

I'm Debs, 32, married mum of 2 and a student Nurse. I have put on a hideous amount of weight in the last year or so and need to loose a good 3 stone ( 40lbs) need to loose loads more actually but that'll do for starters.

So, hello and hope to get to know you all soon :flowerforyou:

    I am a student nurse too and the stress of nursing school will sure pack it on you quick! I graduate in 7 weeks and I do NOT want to be this big at my graduation..... just started here a couple weeks ago and my short term goal is 20 lbs by May 13th (graduation) I am down 5 so far! You can do it, if you can do nursing school you can do ANYTHING!!

    hey and welcome!!
    im a student nurse too and am hoping that in 3 years when I graduate (i literally started last week!!) that I'll be around another 3 stone lighter than what I am now but honestly just being a stone lighter than what I am now would be great!!
    good luck on your course :)

    I'm a nurse-now in grad school. I find it the hardest not to snack while studying. Last time I was in nursing school I gained weight--trying not to this time around! Glad to have you here!!
