Oh and get active. Anything that can get your heart rate going...

My friend, I use to weigh 300lbs. I have weighed 180-190 for the last 6 years. Follow the diet below to a T. Morning (when ever that is) 1 bowl of Cereal with low fat **** (No Kiddie cereals) With 1 Bannana hour and a half later - 1 apple Lunch time-1 peice of meat size of a deck of cards with 1 cup of vegtables (Carrots/Greenbeans/Broc..ect.) 1 red bliss potato (smaller then a tennis ball) Mid afternoon snack- Small hand full of peanuts (DONT GO CRAZY/ SMALL HAND FULL) Dinner time same as lunch. (of course mix it up with different types of meats and veggies) Now here is the trick that will make you shed weight alot.. DO NOT EAT past 7pm and Drink 1 gallon of water (Try to) a day. A personal trainer developed this meal plan and it has kept me at my current weight for years. It will get boring. I suggest adding a little butter and salt/pepper to vegetables to make them taste better. Now, Stop eatting all junk food and grab a bottle of water and start your war against your weight. May the force be with you. I did it..you can.

Thanks guys for your response, I am dedicated to becoming a nurse. Its not a matter if..its when I will be a nurse is what I'm insecure about. I wont give up.

Thank you sir for your response and time.

Hello all, For the last year I've been taking pre req while working full time in the IT field. (2 classes). I'm happy to say I will be taking the leap and going full time come this fall. Luckily I have a strong support from my family and with out them I don't think school full time would be possible. I'm 26 and have worked in the IT field for the last 5 years. I've always wanted to be a nurse. My dad passed 8 years ago and there was a period where he was taken care of at home. I supported him and took care of him and this was what made me decide to go in to nursing. Instead of going on an on about my life I have a few questions and a couple of concerns. As I leave my cushy salary I've had for the last 5 years some in security's are setting in. My concerns are getting in to a program. I'm currently at a community college with 2 pre req done (4.0 gpa) . I'm dedicated to my work and put school first above all. I'm worried after the next year and half to 2 years when I apply I wont get in and that this gamble wont pay off. So I guess my questions to you folks are ..What was the experience of applying and getting accepted. How many programs did you apply to? Did being a Male give you any advantage at all? Thank you for your time and your response. BTW I'm new to this forum and hope to make some friends. -Dennis From Providence ,Ri
