    I'm a nursing student who will be graduating in a year from now. I need to lose at least 100lbs, and would love to be down 50 lbs for graduation. While I've been obese my whole adult life, nursing school has made me the most unhealthy I've ever been!

    ICU RN here. I volunteer as tribute lol! I work nights and at night we only have a crappy little cafe that sells chicken tenderloin, hamburgers, pizza, and tonsssss of desserts... I'm really bad about bringing my own so usually it's off to the cafe I go! I've stopped that now but it's really hard to know what to eat, and how to eat, on night shift. Especially when sometimes I only have five seconds to cram something down.

    I'm giving protein shakes a go. Not as a meal replacement, but as a snack when mixed with 8 oz skim milk. They seem to keep me full at least and they're something I can eat quickly. Any other tips very welcome!

    RN here. Went from floor nurse to more of a desk nursing job and gained a bunch of weight (for a variety of reasons). Need to get in shape, as I know how important it is, and also feel like a hypocrite. Feel free to add me, would love more mfp pals.

    I'll be starting PA school in May. A bit of my background: almost 20 years as a fine dining cook/pastry chef, striving to eat the most awesome tasting food with no worries about nutritional content led to 180 pounds on a petite 5'2" frame. Lost 60 pounds with the help of a wonderful doc a few years ago, less rigorous monitoring of my diet led to slowly putting 20 back on. I look/feel ok, but am happier 10-15 pounds lighter, and am worried that the stress of school may lead to additional gains. I seriously miss my doc, and would greatly appreciate having a community of support over the next few years.
