    It really depends on self-assessment. If you're on your feet all day you're at least lightly active, but if I understand correctly, CNA = Certified Nursing Assistant. If you're helping patients around and lifting things you'll easily fit into the "active" category (they've given a waitress as an example and most of their lifting is less than 25lbs at a time).

    I'd probably stay away from the "Very active" category if your goal is to lose weight unless you're REALLY certain that you're very active all the time.

    Welcome to MFP, hope that helps!
