    I work in a neuro ICU as a RN. I rotate nights and weekends; 50% days/nights per schedule. I definitely find the schedule challenging, but I just try to maintain my personal goals. Sometimes that means the laundry gets done while I workout at home, instead of going to the gym. Or the house gets cleaned after my workout is complete. I'd love for you any of you to add me :) I am new to MFP and would like to gain so supportive friends.

    That is a brutal schedule! I don't do well with the flip/flop scheduling. Feel free to add me

    So what is the secret of success for all you night shifters? I have struggle for years with trying to regulate my intake. It seems as if I'm up 24 hours and eat around the clock. Any ideas? Currently I reset my clock at 4pm when I have my first "meal" of my day.

    Im a cardiac nurse looking to lose over 100 pounds! I work 12.5hr shifts 3-5x/week, with 4 nights per 28 days rota, not including overtime. I fell off the wagon 4 months ago and starting up again now, but when I was on MFP last, I was logging from midnight to midnight no matter if i was doing a day or a night shift. Makes it a bit easier. So instead of having breakfast/lunch/dinner/snacks on my diary, I had it 12-6am, 6-12pm, 12-6pm and 6-12am. I lost some weight which I've now sadly regained, but I will be doing it the same way this time round again, and hoping I don't fall off the wagon again.

    Recovery room nurse. I work in a very busy unit with a lot of overflow, usually ICU. Very exhausting.
    Once I cut done to 30hrs I've been able to manage taking care of myself
    And my son, aging mom and sister (recently widowed with 2 kids).
    I've lost 55 lbs so far!! 20 more to go!!!

    Anyone can feel free to add me!!
