    I can't figure out how to add you. I tried to click your name and it doesn't load anything. This was my first time posting. I'm glad I did. It will be so nice to have support!

    I look forward to it. I just passed my nursing boards last week now I'm applying to jobs at hospitals. No pressure, right?

    Hey! I'm a night shift nurse working on a cardiac stepdown unit in Tennessee. I know all about the stress/pressure of what you are going through right now! Awesome job on the progress you've made so far! I need support for my weight loss journey as well. I had lost almost 40lbs after graduating nursing school 3 years ago, then during my weight loss journey I became pregnant and, now here I am, struggling with the rest of this baby weight. Continue with the great work, you got this!

    You got this too! Slam dunk on being a mom, a nurse, and becoming healthier! I'd add you But I haven't figured out how. 36lbs feels better but I still don't feel like me. I will get there! It's time!

    Still haven't been able to figure out how to add people. You guys are all really awesome id spend so much time thinking my weight loss had been nothing but a drop in the bucket. You've helped remind me that I needed to start somewhere. I have far too much negativity in my life.

    That's some great results already, am looking to lose just over 50lbs myself & just started on MFP hoping it will hold me more accountable for my actions & get motivation from others in a similar boat, feel free to add me anyone, I'm from the UK but weight loss struggles are the same no matter where you're from right? :p Lol.

    Especially for women yea weight loss is difficult in any place where food is in abundance. And in America we are the most
    Overweight country in the world. Not a good award to win. Are any of you doing low carb? I've made good friends with bacon lately.

    Nursing school and trying to lose weight at the same time? That must be difficult for you.

    I've been a nurse for almost 4 years. I got pregnant while in nursing school and didn't start losing the weight until about a year after having her. I've lost over 60lbs so far. You're doing great. Feel free to add me. :smile:

    Hi :). I'm a few months into one of the nursing programs around where I live, and am also trying to lose weight (40-50 lbs). That's awesome that you've already lost that much. I'm early on in my journey. I'd be happy to swap advice and motivation with you, and anyone else out there who feels they could benefit from it .

    I sent adds to you both. It's so great to see so many nurses on here! I'm scared I won't be Able to get a job because I'm overweight. Did this come into play with anyone? :'(

    Night shift ICU nurse too. I always worked day shift until I moved to a new city and have now worked night shift for almost two years. It definitely can cause the lb's to increase. I also need to drop about 50-60 pounds. Congrats on your already great weight loss.
