Hi everyone! My name is Stephanie....and I am...(gulp)....40 years "young".... I am trying to re-lose the weight that I gained this year by switching to a "sit down office job" rather than walking constantly on the patient floor as a RN :-)
I love my new job...but all I do is sit in front of a computer and review charts or do paperwork, etc. The weight crept up on me and I am soooo mad at myself! I gained 30 pounds since Januaury 2011.
I love this site and absolutely love the bar scanning capability with my iphone/ipad. My email is stephcricket@gmail.com if anyone wants to be my friend to help me do this.....and help keep me motivated. I look forward to checking out this forum.

I also work in health care (i'm a medical technologist) and it's one of my motivating factors for getting back in shape. Feel free to add me0

Hi there, Stephanie!
I'm a retired RN. At a certain point in my career, I also switched from an on-my-feet job to a sit-down type. The lower activity does make a difference. I had a scale in my new office and boy did it tell that tale!
I was able to take the weight off by exercising more outside of work and by fanatically sticking to my diet. I remember one time the hospital sponsored an ice cream social in the cafeteria. There I was, eating the 3 slices of turkey I'd planned for my snack while everyone else chomped down on their delicious-looking sundaes. I took some ribbing about it, but I ended up getting my body back the way I wanted it.
Now that I'm retired, my weight has crept up again. I'm making progress, though, with the help of this app.
Stick to your guns!
