GOAL -- Weight Loss and healthier living

by MNRN2BE Platinum Member
Updated Mar 05, 2009 at 08:30 PM by Angie O'Plasty, RN

Like many of you here, I am not happy with my weight gain.....and I have not even started the nursing program yet. I am planning on doing something about it. I have seen another post with regards to weight loss and motivation, just wanted to start another one. I will be starting a regiment immediately to hopefully drop those lbs and extend my life. If anyone is wanting/willing to join me....chime in. I am working on a spreadsheet to track weight loss/gain and lbs to go for my goal. I am happy to keep track of the information for others and could even post here if we want or by email. I can assign "new names" for everyone on the spreadsheet so it can remain a little more confidential if people have issues with having their weight information out here. I am also thinking of trying to find some sort of prize for the most significant change.

Let me know if you are interested and if there is anything else you would like to see. I am doing this with or without you, but am happy to motivate and "suffer" along with others

Feel free to respond here with input/suggestions/motivation.
Matt Olson

Boy, I know how you feel. I start my nursing clinicals in fall and I would love to drop a bunch of extra weight before that happens. I used to be pretty easily motivated to work out but since I've had my son (he's 10 months) I just can't seem to find the motivation. I think I need some accountability but I'm not sure where to find it. I'm in a total rut!

Im a student too, doing my prereqs. College makes you gain weight. Good luck guys, just don't overdo it. I know I gained 30 pounds the first year of college and I'm stuglling horribly to lose them (they're really not coming off, or they are slowly) I just wanna lose about eleven more pounds. The problem is, the scale lies. When I do work out and excersize, I put on muscle fast, so I gain weight. So um, when do you start losing it?
