Hello from a newbie

  • Hello,
    My name is Amber. I am a mom of 3, dispatcher and EMT. I will be starting paramedic school the end of August. I started following weight watchers because I need to be in better shape for my jobs. I would love to become a flight medic in a few years and really can't be accepted at the weight I am now.
    I have put my kids and family first for a long time. The youngest was diagnosed with stage 4 liver and lung cancer in 2008. 12 rounds of chemo and two liver transplants later he is doing much better. It's time for me now.
    Look forward to meeting new friends!!!
  • Welcome.

    What a huge amount you've had to deal with - respect! Good that you find time for you now and to look after yourself.

    I'm new here myself and am finding it the forum really informative and supportive.
