  • Hi everyone! I'm Jessica, I'm a critical care RN in a very high acuity ICU. I've been there 3 years. I'm a weekender, typically doing night shift...then I transition to day schedule to care for my 1-year old daughter during the week. I'm working at eating clean, whole foods.

  • I work night shift as well, but as a weekender, then have to flip to day shift during the week to take care of my daughter. This led me to not lose any of my pregnancy weight, and even gain some more pounds. Slowly but surely, I've started changing my habits. Walking during breaks at work (helps keep me awake too!), always…

  • I love it! I just started week 4 and am down about 5 lbs. Not only is my stamina improving, but my flexibility is tremendously improved.

  • Hi everyone! I'm Jessica and I'm working on getting off my lingering pregnancy weight (my daughter is going to be 1 in 10 days so the "I just had a baby" excuse I kept giving myself is no good anymore!) and then get myself to a healthy weight. Along with that, I'm working at limiting my processed food intake and chemicals.…

  • I've read that it's best to weigh yourself once a week at the same time that day in the same amount of clothing (or none!) each time. Weight really does fluctuate and success is more evident in weight trends over time as well as measurements...and most importantly--how YOU feel! That said, I'm guilty of weighing myself…
