Hey everyone! I'm Sam--I'm 25 years old and going through a divorce after spending the last 5 years as an Air Force wife. I just started nursing school and am now trying to focus on myself. I have a lot of weight to lose and could really use some motivation and support.
My current stats are--- 5'1 and 221 lbs. Can't wait to meet some awesome people :)

    hi Sam, good for you! I've been an RN for 24 yrs. Taught in a BSN program at Auburn university, in critical care. Nursing school is tough but worth the effort!

    I survived nursing school (assoc RN). Managed to keep a 4.0, but I think I traded a little bit of my sanity in exchange. Feel free to friend me. I'm always good if you need to vent/cry/scream...

    Hello, I'm Grace =) New RN graduate who just moved back home to California. I'm 26yrs, 5'2, wanting to lose 30lbs. I just started MyFitnessPal and I absolutely love it! Support, encouragement, sharing info, and progress are great motivators! I'm on my 11th day so far but haven't missed a day of diet and exercise I'm trying to be more involved in the myfitnesspal community b/c seeing ppl's progresses helps motivate me! I love sharing and receiving fitness and diet tips as well.

    Hello to everyone! I am on my 4th semester in college right now and am aiming at being able to apply for the Nursing Program this fall. I have already done my CNA 1 class, and now am on my last pre-requisite for the program. I also have to complete the TEAS test (Test of Essential Academic Skills) and at least score a 58% on it. Wish me well and cross any body part that you can cross for me so that I can ace the test in April. :)

    Hey! I am Jess, and I am an RN in the ER. Working 10 years of nights shifts has screwed up my metabolism, and the stress of nursing is a whole other ball game for me. Lets just say, as nurses,we take care of everyone else and often forget about ourselves. I am just starting out and hopeful! Good luck in school!

    I'm about to finish nursing school, I graduate in 3 months! I know how hard ti can be. Sometimes I'm out of the house for 16+ hours a day. There is never a day without a ton of things to do related to school so it makes grocery shopping and planning meals harder than it should be. I'm cutting out junk food, cooking my own meals and I'm about to start a fitness program.

    Feel free to add me!
