Introductions!

Hi I'm Sally,

I'm a student in Queens, NY and my dreams are to get into a medical school and pursue a career in medicine. I'm trying to be healthy so i can set an example for preventive medicine, and for myself. I have been yoyoing with my weight due to stress and my goal is to stop this for good!

    Hi my name is Shana. I am a clinical nurse specialist. I have 3 units that I coordinate clinical outcomes using nurse prescriber. I also teach advanced patho two nights a week (every other week) for 4 hours.

    I want to be able to role model what I teach. I have been on my journey for a long time and the last year has been more successful.

    Hi, I'm Isabel. I'm a labor and delivery nurse that is passionate about her job and is trying to make better food choices everyday. I try my best to work out at least 5x a week - I do triathlons and love them. Now, I have to focus on doing better with my intake. I love food- everything about it, I love to cook and going out to eat and exploring new recipes. I really need to focus on making better food choices since I know that losing weight is mostly done in the kitchen and not the gym. I have really enjoyed the support MFP has provided and am seeking to gain some more friends that have similar goals.

    Hi, I am a pharmacist, but more recently, a stay at home mom. I am looking at getting back into the profession in a year or so. It takes some endurance to stand for the eight hours most retail jobs require and I hope that by making healthier choices it will be less of an adjustment. I also would like to be a better example to my family and work together to create an environment promoting improved nutrition and increased movement.

    I'm Elizabeth a current CNA/teletech/Medical Secretary who is in the final year of nursing school. :) I've been big most of my life and am tired of people thinking I can't be serious about medical because I'm not healthy.

    I also want to make sure and be the best me I can be!

    Hey! I'm a second year resident in internal medicine. I don't always make the best food choices and I still struggle to fit in exercise even though it is a priority. But I've made a lot of progress this year compared to my intern year. I guess I was just tired of feeling like crap all the time.
