Howdy all,

My name's Joe, and I'm a cop. (If you're old enough to laugh at that, then explain it to someone nearby!) I've been using MFP for a while to help with my goals, I only recently decided to reach out to the community, as well.

I hope everyone has a safe and healthy week.

Joe

    Greetings all,

    I am a 50 year old 32 year veteran firefighter/EMT-I. Ran my own constructions business for years, retired from that Quit smoking and now teaching fire/EMS almost full time. Have gotten that middle aged belly and lost lots of muscle. Trying to get healthy again.

    I'm Gary, I am a Correctional Officer. I've gotten "the gut" that some of us in this field usually develop. Too much time on third shift. I've run out of excuses and I'm getting back to my 25 year old self. Glad to see I'm not the only one.

    Hello everyone! I've been on MFP for the past year or so on and off. I'm looking for some friends to keep me accountable and make sure I actually log and get involved instead of just lurking on the boards! I recently graduated the police academy late last year and am employed about 45 min SW of Chicago.

    Hi everyone!!

    I'm currently a 911 dispatcher, I also did 13 years in the Air Force as a firefighter. LOVE the Public Safety field and hated being out of it for the 5 years I worked between the 2 jobs! I have gained weight ever since I got married in 1983 BUT my waist ballooned in the 911 job! I at one time was up to over 300 lbs and lost 75 on the Fit for Life plan. That was basically all vegetarian to start and when I came off it I didn't follow the plan for afterwards and gained back about 40. SO-O-O I am now trying to count the calories and log some exercise and lose the weight "properly".

    Looking forward to some great insight from you all!

    Dave

    Hello Everyone,
    My name is Liz. Im a police dispatcher for a university in NJ. Ive been with this dept for just over a year, but have been dispatching almost 5 years now. My current schedule is friday-tuesday midnight to 8am and I work part time on my days off for another depatment.

    As im sure many of you can relate being stuck in dispatch on crappy shifts has led me to some terrible eating habits. My goal is to lose 80 lbs. I have already lost 12 using this site.

    Still learning all this site has to offer. Really motivating tho. Feel free to add me!

    Hi! I'm Nicole
    I'm a CBSA Superintendent (Canada Boarder Service Agency). I've allowed myself to get really out of shape. Got two big wake up call lately, fear of not being successful at mandatory training in Nov and dangerously high blood pressure. Meds are helping but it's all up to me to get healthy.

    Hello, and WELCOME to all the new participants to this group in the last month. Pleased to met all of you. I would like to try to get some activity to this group. Gonna be changing my shift here in the next few weeks and will have increased amount of time to participate and possibly spark this group. I will also be working 12 hour graveyard shifts, so that may be a topic of discussion very soon. Hope to see all of you frequently. Lets have some fun and make the goals we set. Add me if you would like.

    Darin
