    You go for it! I've been a female firefighter for over 14 years and I love it. It's very challenging and it pushes me to stay in shape and to do my best. You've come to a great place for support and info. Good luck and keep me informed!

  • Hey you gorgeous mama!!!! It's Barb or Barbidoll which is my moniker! Tomorrow will be one week and I think I have about five others who have joined as well. Tomorrow will also be the moment of truth because I'm stepping on the scale. Wish me luck. I have to get a picture to post yet so I am faceless. Hope you are having a great day. Will talk to you later. Barb

    :flowerforyou: Hello! my fiance is a firefighter in Philadelphia. It is an honorable profession, requiring lots of dedication. So, if you can dedicate yourself to losing weight, you know you can make it through the academy!
    Good Luck and take care

    Go for it girl. I am also getting in shape for my career. It is not a traditional girl career. I am in the military. I am trying to go officer. So go head. That is the good thing about being a woman in a (so called) man's field. We just as strong, bad as they are but we dont stink like they do. lol
