    Well no more Paramedic course for me....

    Get into other TA programs. Tuition Assistance for Paramedic programs are all over the place. (In WA anyways) Most expensive, is $10,000 for an entire year long program. with TA, you can make it into $500, even $200 monthly payments. In WA, you can get tuition assistance for an $800 EMT-B...

    Overweight, Out of Shape, & want to be a Paramedic

    How'd they calculate your BMI? Did they just put Ht, Wt, into a comp? If so, it's a BS BMI. They have to measure around your neck, and measure around your stomach. than do height and weight. Me? I'm 6'4, 315lbs. with a 22% BMI, BMI is your body fat to lean tissue.

    Overweight, Out of Shape, & want to be a Paramedic

    LOL I'm a big guy too, (not all in fat though) dropping body fat is also a goal of mine (I plan on getting below 17% BMI, which would put me at 276lbs because of my frame, and muscle mass) What are everyone else's BMI goals?

    AHA, and ARC First Aid Courses. and CPR

    In my area, only EMT-B, I, and P are allowed to teach First Aid. and CPR. And Police Officers as well. But that's it. (for here anyways) AHA is a joke. (no offense) compared to ARC First Aid, AHA First Aid courses are the biggest joke of the century. (nothing hands on, vs ARC which every...

If you have any ideas of something that'd sound interesting (like oriental, italian, feeling kinda german, or Greek, etc. I definitely...

    Overweight, Out of Shape, & want to be a Paramedic

    If you have corn on the cob. wrap it in tinfoil, throw it in a 450 degree oven for a half hour, to an hour. (or on the GRILL) OMGosh!!!! You don't need butter, pepper, or anything. just keep it wrapped in its stock. (don't unfold any leaves or anything unless you're just literally about to eat...

    Press the chest 1 1/2 down than return to original position. at a rate of 100 times per minute. After you finish 30 compressions, breath air into the manicuns body while watching chest rise (to make sure the airway isn't obstructed) than return 30 compressions. For "That Guy" on the...

    Overweight, Out of Shape, & want to be a Paramedic

    count your calories. eat veggies, (lots) and avoid any/all breaded meats and deep fried foods. and stay away from all things white. (white bread, white rice, etc.) and limit yourself to 2,200 cals per day. Ditch the soda ("diet" is "ok" but eventually it's gotta be kicked to the curb 100%) and...

    EMT-B Students!!!

    I was unaware it was designated as CCR instead of CPR. (makes sense though) Is it possible for a civilian outside of EMT-B class to get CCR certified? since CPR is 30:2. What are they making CCR?

    Oh no...I have to be healthy???

    I'd use a great deal of caution. up to 3700 calories per day? 25G of whey protein? I'd highly recommend avoiding anything above 2200 calories. Even for a guy my size, I only eat 2000 Cals still losing body fat, building muscle, both aerobic, and anaerobic. If you want to be lean and...

    Oh no...I have to be healthy???

    Stay away from supplements of any/all kind. They'll do more harm than good overtime. They are just wallet catchers. If anyone on that site preaches to you to use creatine, hydrofit, or any of that crap, ignore them. Supplements are not, and have never been regulated in anyway/shape/form...

    Starting P90x ... i remain confident that we can finish the 90 days.

    I'm just letting you know, I'm not making fun of you, or calling you out, or anything like that. I was just pointing the 90 day thing out. P90X does in fact, work. No questions at all about it. But I was just pointing the milestone out. P90X is a great program, but has that one flaw, unlike...
