    Hey everyone!

    My name is Renée and I'm Police Dispatcher in Alberta Canada. I've been here 3 years this October and can't see myself going back to a boring office job. I'm also an Advocate with Victim Services.

    Hey, I'm Brian. I'm from USA, PA. Going though paramedic internship right now. I'm also a vegetarian and web developer. My goal is one day being within the "healthy" range in the BMI scale, however I'm unsure if that's possible if I lost every ounce of fat on my body.

    Just joined this site this morning, and it seems like a cool place to share thoughts with others who are trying to lose weight. I work as a psych nurse, I do baylor shift currently (weekend nights 7p-7am) Just got off of 2 years of fulltime night shifts. Sadly I blame most of my weight gain on night shift, high stress, and the tempting snack machine with the peanut butter snickers in it. :)
    Nice to meet everyone!

    Well, I have been a paramedic since 1990. I lost my job as a flight medic because of my weight. Now back on the streets and suffering because of my weight. But, I am taking it one step at a time. Glad to see others from my career path are here and working toward healthyness.

    Hey guys,
    I'm a Paramedics student in New Zealand, two semesters into a 3 year degree.
    Looking at shifting to Canada upon graduation, getting fit for the 1100 clinical hours coming my way next week....
    Should be fun though!

    Dispatcher here from Missouri! My name is Lara... so glad to have people relate to crazy hours and not always knowing when or if you will be able to eat on a given shift.

    Hi,

    Thought I should introduce myself, part time Volunteer Police Officer and Police Staff Investigator for my paid role.

    I'm hoping to loose some timber and get back into my original uniform

    Hi. My name is Erica. I'm 32 years old, have a 5 year old daughter and work in centralized 911 dispatch for the past 10 years on 2nd shift. I just started MFP about 2 weeks ago. I really like it. How great to find a group that understands unconventional hours and stress.
