Hey Everyone!
I am a 23 year old senior B.S. Nursing student and I need to make a difference. I have been overweight most of my life but a few years ago I lost 30+ pounds within a summer. Though I maintained that weight loss for over I year I have now officially gained all of that weight back! With graduation coming up in just a few months I am more motivated now. Not only for my own well being but for my future patients. I want to be a leader and a motivator to them and not a hypocrite!
It is going to be a crazy time for me with this being my last semester of nursing school and preparing for my boards, but I have hopes of making lasting changes in my life. Wish me luck!

Hi Sparrow91! and !!! I think you have a great goal for great reasons, and I wish you success! You'll find lots of support here on your journey, so browse around and jump right in! Good luck!

It's not a diet. It's about a life style.

It takes time and patience, to get there. But, worth it!

As a patient, I have to tell you, the last thing I want to see is hypocritical, medical, professional.

I am also in the medical arena, but, I work for a veterinarian, whole new set of stuff to deal with!
