just thought it would be cool to see all in one post where all of you are from and what you do for a living.

city: KILLEEN

state: TEXAS

occupation: I am a student and a house wife. I have a diploma in FORENSIC SCIENCE, PRIVATE INVESTIGATION, AND TAKING PARALEGAL, PSYCHOLOGY.

I love school.

Isn't it interesting how many of us have nursing backgrounds? My therapist has pointed out more than once that those of us who are caretakers often care for others at our own expense....I know that definitely factored into my own obesity.

I don't think it's just nurses...it's all the health care professions!

I'm a long-time med tech, who now supports the laboratory information system at a large university hospital. I'm from central Pennsylvania.

I'm from Cleveland, TN (still here). It's about 30 miles NE of Chattanooga. It's definitely growing!! I'm a student (even though I'm taking this semester off because I'm so burned out on school) and I own my own business, which is a ladies shoe boutique with handbags and jewelry too! I'm also a wife, and hopefully a mother one day!
