Greetings from Canada. I just retired on the 31st of March after 31+ years with the Ontario Provincial Police. I can relate to the dispatchers out there as we use to take turns dispatching on night shift many years ago. I have had a great career starting in a remote community in Northern Ontario where the 8 Officer detachment covered over 2000 sq miles. I think the most enjoyable times in my career was when I was assigned to the VIP Security squad as a motorcade driver and my time teaching new recruits at the Ontario Police College. A health scare in 2008 made me realize the importance of healthy eating and we all know how hard that is to do when working shift work and answering those calls. This is my second time using myfitnesspal and I love it. If you need some support add me as a friend.

Jim

    Hello Jim...

    My Daughter is marrying a Canadian in November. He's from Barrie.

    I'm a 26 year Veteran of Santa Fe Fire and Rescue, and an Assistant Chief.

    I started Fitness Pal and have loved it. It has kept me on track of my 1580 calories pretty darn religiously. When my blood pressure was up and to the point it was affecting my eyes, I knew I needed to do something. I didn't want to be put on meds. I set a goal, and have made it half way. I know I definitely feel better.

    Nice talking to you.

    Have a great day!

    Joel
