Are there any more of us out there? I've found a few and the support I'm getting is awesome. Any other motivated friends feel free to send me a request.
PS I am pretty good at sending support too :drinker:

    I'm a dispatcher does that count?! One of my MFP friends started a group that's full of dispatchers, EMTs, LEO's etc! If you search "911" in the groups it should come up!

    Flight paramedic here.... It's so depressing to think we might turn down a call due to weight issues when I know I'm the weight issue. Some support would be appreciated. I'll try my best to be supportive right back. Long hours, shift work and being in a truck all day don't make it easy to loose weight. We have to help each other.. :)
