in Introduce Yourself
I'm 24 and currently in school getting my BS to be a nurse. I'm getting back to MFP after being away on and off for the past year. My SO and I are starting to train for our first backpacking trip on the AT this next July and August and I have a long way to go! I need to lose about 25 pounds of fat and put on some good pounds of muscle. As someone who struggles with endocrine issues, losing weight is a VERY slow process and I'm swamped with classes and clinicals. But I'm hoping to take this one day at the time :) Just wanted to introduce myself and say that I'm looking forward to being part of the community!

    The AT is fantastic, which part will you be doing?

    We haven't picked the location yet. I'm up in Pennsylvania, but interested in doing some of the trail in Virginia. It's our first time backpacking and we're still in the process of getting our gear. Have you hiked any of the AT?
