Looking for 3rd shift friends

starspeckled

I just started MFP after losing around 30 lbs on Weight Watchers. Still learning the ropes of this site, but free is what I need right now.

I work 3rd shift as a secretary in the O.R. (11p-7a Sun-Thurs) and am looking for friends I'd be able to check in with in the middle of the night Also starting nursing school in January after a 2 1/2 year waiting list!

28 years old
Starting: 223
Current: 195
Goal: 149 ("Average" BMI)

I am not on an overnight schedule at work, but I am a night owl by nature. I am usually up until 2 or 3am central time. There is something about the middle of the night that makes me task oriented!

I wish I had internet access at my work when I did night shifts, would have made it so much more bearable!

I am also a late night person. I have the hardest time going to bed before 2-4am. I just started working again after a 4 week stint unemployed and I am getting ready to move from Phoenix to San Francisco.

My start weight was 286 and I am targeting 205. I would love to find more friends on here. I joined a year ago but took a hiatus while my wife was pregnant. I am down to 267 so far. The hardest part for me is finding food my wife an I agree on since I am vegetarian and she is picky in a different way. We are both hoping our two kids like more variety than we do.

Anyway I mostly do this business from my iPhone so I would love some more friends to cross encourage with. If anyone is in the Bay area especially I would love to find more people to get to know once we move. (We are still looking for a place.)

Oh Hai!! There's a whole lunch of us here. I switch from days to nights every 2 months. The Facebook page that Lisa linked is pretty active. It's nice having a support system of people who understand.
