    I work for a Slot machine manufacturer, however I sit down for most of my day and it seriously took a toll on my weight gain. I am now looking for reasons to get up and move:0

    i work in a nursing home, i don't count those calories burned because i have been doing it for so long, my body is used to it and i think the normal calories we burn on a daily basis are included in the base amount that we eat

    I'm a student, so the only exercise I get besides the gym is walking between classes. xD

    <--- Psychologist. You would think listening to people's problems would burn more calories. I may have to start doing jumping jacks in session. Shouldn't be too much of a distraction.

    I have two jobs:
    I work in Palliative Care .. (for 12 years now) 'Final Days Care' for people that want to die at home.

    Last year I cut the days I work from 6/7 down to 3 .. and started a little Housekeeping Company.

    I look after the houses of one particular *Boutique* agency .. (very swanky)
    The houses are small but BEAUTIFUL. .. and all in one tiny area, so really close for me to do...
    On an average month I do 40 -45 houses.
    The money is great (very overpaid for it really) .. I do that 2 days a week. (more free time was in my plan ;))

    It burns between 500- 1300 cals in those mornings depends how busy I am.. (so thats a plus!!)

    I read Chalene Johnson's 'PUSH' ... (and also did her 30 Day Challenge) .. Summer last year.. it helped me change my job, (and my life) and *get paid my worth*..

    Admin assistant for a fire department. My co-workers exercise like crazy (even when there's not rescues/fires to run to, they're actually required to be in the gym at least 1 hr a day), but since I handle the paperwork end of things, I'm basically sitting at a desk all day. I don't factor in my work as calorie-burning at all.

    Test computer software from home. Not much activity here... :(

    There's always a way to "test" workout software from home and become active :wink:

    Swap the chair for a treadmill and walk all day!

    I'm a teacher....do a lot of running around, walking and on my feet. I'm thinking of getting a pedometer but not sure how that would factor in as number of steps or something?

    I'm a pastry chef... i'm on my feet for 12-14 hours a day in my kitchen. I've always worked in the food industry so sitting at work has never been an option. Lifting things constantly and sweating my *kitten* off in front of an oven all day keeps me pretty active, but I still have to make it a point to workout at least 4 times a week to see any weight loss.

    Great idea getting a pedometer. I've read you have to do 10,000 steps a day for health, you've inspired me to to get one too :happy:

    I work for a phone company. I dont include office activity though i move around moderately climbing stairs to coordinate with coworkers. I include walking to and from office and actual running activity as my exercise. I do weight training but dont include it as well.
