    Hello,

    My name is Reyan. I graduated from the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy in 2011. I've been a pharmacist with ACME since my 5th year in pharmacy school. I've got a goal of loosing 15 lbs by Sept 9th 2013 (my wedding date!!) I must admit I indulge in cookies wayyyy too often at the pharmacy. They're cheap, easy, delicious, and tend to make me forget some of the stresses of the day. I'm hoping to meet other pharmacists and share quick and easy meal ideas during long shifts as well as keep each other accountable with food diary sharing. Hope to see more pharmacists on here soon!

    Hi!

    My name is Becky, and I graduated from LECOM School of Pharmacy in 2006. I currently work in a small grocery store chain pharmacy (retail). I'm trying to lose weight for my wedding also! (April 6, 2013). I used to have a huge problem with eating candy and junk food while I was at work. I used to work for a big drugstore chain, and that was the only food available when I was starving, with no lunch break. I made it a goal when I switched jobs that I wouldn't ever eat anything bad at work, to break that habit, and I've been really good about that for the past year since i started :) However, I love to go out to eat, and that's where my problem comes from, especially when my blood sugar is low after a 12 hour shift of work with little to no breaks.

    These past 3-4 years I've become more and more into fitness. I work out with a personal trainer 2-3 times per week doing weight training, and I'm also training for my 3rd half marathon. I am at a weight right now where I look good (i'm 5' 8") but I want to be in the best shape of my life for my wedding and honeymoon (Tahiti!!).

    I was so happy to see a pharmacist group, and I hope we can motivate each other!

    I'm Josh, Third Year pharm student at Auburn University's Harrison School of Pharmacy. Looking for a residency after a 2014 graduation. Really interested in oncology pharmacy but the job market for such a position seems like its spread thin and I will most likely sell my soul to CVS after completing a PGY-1.

    HI, I'm Lauren and I am a P1 student at D'Youville College School of Pharmacy in Buffalo, NY. I love the support of friends on MFP. I am excited to be a health professional and I feel that I should look the part. My favorite snack/meal are smoothies! You can make them the night before, with all healthy ingredients and BOOM- lunch on the go! My current favorite "milkshake" is the pumpkin pie milkshake I make. 1 cup of vanilla almond milk, 1/2 cup of pumpkin puree, 1 frozen banana, 1/2 tsp. cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of pumpkin pie seasoning. Looking forward to some replies here!
