I need motivation to lose 30+ lbs while in nursing school and raising a family. Im very stressed but know the benefits of exercise and nutrition. Plus I want to practice what I preach if I'm going to be a health care professional.

Thank you everyone for the support. It will be a great motivator after Christmas break finishing my last semester of RN school. I plan on going right back into school to get my masters so I am curious how I will juggle this task along with everything else. I am a computer immigrant so please understand that it may take me longer to do some actions or I may ask for help along the way:)0

Ah nursing school memories.... Feel free to add me. I've been a nurse for 4years, received an associates and bachelor's degree. I did a semester of Grad school for my masters but then life got in the way and I put it on hold0

I am also a nursing student. Graduate in MAY!!!! I need some motivation to get my butt moving. I spend a lot of time studying and even more time not eating right. GOOD LUCK everyone!0

I graduate in May too. This school weight sucks. I used to be so much more active and less stressed!0

Wow! Great to have some fellow SN in the loop! Im preparing to start school again and trying to schedule in a work out and prepacked lunches for clinicals. I dont want to graduate overweight:( I want to be a healthy example for my patients:) What are your strategies for the coming semester?0

Hi stampfam, great resolution as I gained about 40kg over my 5 years of studying and now am trying to get rid of them.
I think bringing prepared meals is crucials as so you have full control of what enters your body and what not.
I wish you a successful 2015 and all the best!0 -
I want to add some friends here to offer my support to you all as well, but I don't see an add friend button or anything. Can anyone help me with this? Or else send me a friend request! You all rock, keep up the great accountability!0

I'm currently working on losing the weight i started to put on during my second round of nursing school almost 2 years ago! I had lost 40 pounds after I finished my LPN degree, and then gained it all back starting when I went back for my RN degree! Damn nursing school stress!! Feel free to add me!!0

This is actually my first post anywhere on MFP. I am a nursing student, too - one year to go! Graduate Dec 2015. I just turned 30 , I have two little boys and a husband that works full time. I feel like it's impossible and nobody understands how HARD it is to even think about losing weight. I was just put on medication that caused an additional 10 lb weight gain in 6 wks, so I need to do something. MY CLINICAL SCRUBS DON'T FIT! I would love to hear any tips/tricks that work!!0

I'm in pharmacy school looking to lose weight as well! I can't go around telling patients to lose weight and be healthy if I myself am not! Feel free to add me.0

Hello All, I am in education and need to lose weight. Unfortunately, I have battled my weight my entire life. I am 38, wife and mother of 3. Recently, helped to open a new school and the demands of job, duties of wife and mother got the best of me. just was under a lot of stress and gained 54 lbs of 60 lbs that I had lost with QWLC. Not feeling good about packing on the weight..but looking forward to getting healthier and losing weight.0
