in Introduce Yourself
So here is my story! I work 12 hour night shift . You know how people are trying to lose baby weight ? Well im trying to lose night shift weight! I've lost 50lbs in nursing school 4 years ago. I've gained it all back once I started working . Now that I'm a travel nurse and don't have a set routine things are harder. But last week I started a a month challenge to work out everyday . And start MFP. I've lost 5lbs already. I just need friends to communicate with and keep me motivated !

    Nurses are somebodys angels, especially my mum who depends on them daily, first let me thank you for just doing your job and please feel free to add me too. Only been on here 3 weeks but seeing great results thanks to amazing support on this site from complete strangers! It's amazing how just talking on here and listening to advice (not always following it lol), has made the world of difference, plus if you do a big ooops they don't shout they just tell you its ok and support you into the next day :D
