I have often wanted to answer "What has been your greatest accomplishment?" with "weightloss".
What does everyone think of this?
You see I think it shows strength, determination, see what's wrong and putting it right in a sensible (non panicky way) and at the end of the day a healthy body is a healthy mind right?
Does anyone agree that it could be used as an answer?

    Assuming you mean a JOB interview: I'd only use "weight loss" as an answer if you can back it up with work related skills. "I researched nutrition and exercise, tracked my weight loss data with a custom-designed spreadsheet, helped manage a fitness group for others, and over time I lost a significant amount of weight and now I run marathons."

    But in general, I think that question is looking for your greatest work-related accomplishment, not personal accomplishment. (My greatest accomplishment is raising a child who seems to be turning out ok, but I'd never mention that in a job interview LOL.)
