Just want to connect with folks who have some medical professional backrounds that don't do crazy fad diets. I'm a nurse, just started on mfp a couple of weeks ago and I need friends.

    Hi, I'm 18 and I'm really aspiring to pursue medicine as a lifelong career! I look up to anybody and anyone that has also chosen this path. :) Even though I'm still a student, can I add you?

    Hey all! I'm a Certified Pharmacy Technician. I hate all the "fad diets" and "weight loss supplements". Espeically all the crap that Dr. Oz talks about. I have people coming into our pharmacy every day looking for Raspberry Ketones, Acai, Green Coffee Bean, etc. Gets so annoying! Please feel free to friend me!!!

    I'm a Clinical Laboratory Scientist and manage the lab in a small rural hospital/clinic/nursing home. Add me!

    I've found some of the worst "suckers" for gimicky diets have been friends in the medical field. You'd think we'd know better? Maybe?

    Hello There! I am currently attending Nursing School. I'm in my 3rd week. I can already tell it's gonna be a fun 2 years. Just joined MFP today. I figured if I'm going to be taking care of people, I need to take care of myself also! Excited to get this journey going.

    I work in the business office of a multi-specialty medical practice (including bariatric specialists and endocrinologists). If there is one thing I've learned working for them it's that losing weight is hard, and keeping it off is harder.
