Anybody loosing weight for a job?

Yes we're all on here to loose weight for self and health, blah blah, blah....But many times people have other "motivations" like kids, a cute boy, one airline seat....you know.

Wondering if anyone else is on here working to loose weight for their line of work. I am and could use that shared goal motivation!

Eventually I think it would be fun to be a cop. Right now I'm their dispatcher. And with a little weight loss I'd pass the physical. Well I could probably pass now but I would prefer to be much more fit

I'm currently in school to work in physical therapy. I've got to be strong and healthy to be effective at my future job and to be a good example to those I'll work with. Plus, I hope to work the the VA and I've found grumpy old soldiers work harder to impress pretty, thin girls than fat, frumpy ones.

I still want to do the military and I know that in this jacked society slim will always help you when applying for jobs esp in management..

I really am in love with Pure Barre. Part of me dreams of being an instructor on the side. But you need to have an inspiring body to be a fitness instructor right? LOL
They are hiring for a new Pure Barre opening in town -- I asked to join and they contacted me back for an audition./interview. I know legally they have to do this. . . I can execute all of the moves perfectly. I know the form and how to teach people as I was a piano instructor in the past. I also took a lot of dance in college so I have timing! I would be really GREAT at this job! The only problem is the belly.
Instead of going through the interview and being told no for whatever lame reason . .. I backed out thanking them for their offer of interview but I have thought a lot about it and wish to reach some goals first before applying again.

Kind of. I have a degree in criminal justice and I'm sure that my weight has been an issue for some of the jobs I interviewed for, although it was never said.

Inadvertently - yes I am!

I'm losing weight to have more energy in the day. And where do I spend most of my days? At work!

Energy creates energy. I get so gobsmacked when I realise that the more energy I spend, the more energy I have. So yes, I've been bouncing around this building as a result of it!
