    I've read a couple of articles and seen pictures, people replace their desk chairs with bicycles, exercise balls, or treadmills.

    There are those pedals older people can use or from rehab centers, it's tempting to toss one under my desk

    i'm a school psychologist ... about half my day is taking phone calls and writing reports, the other part is with kids...sometimes observing, sometimes counseling, and sometimes struggling with them to keep them safe from their own behaviors :noway:

    seriously though....i LOVE my job!

    I'm a meteorologist, but not the TV kind. Right now my job has extremely strict deadlines so I'm beginning to readlize how much I actually sit.

    X-ray technologist, I do general x-ray and mammography. I actually move a lot with my job. I used to wear a pedometer daily and usually got my 10,000 steps in each and every day!

    I am a school psychologist in a high school - so desk job here from 7-3pm (or longer on any given day). While I do love my job - I've noticed that when I had a job that was more mobile - weight came off A LOT easier....

    Desk job here, too....however whenever I go to the restroom at my office I make a point to go outside and walk around the building and back to my desk. Since I'm drinking ALOT of water I am walking more and it's showing up my stats. My co-workers think I'm on the crazy track but hey...whatever it takes, eh?:tongue:

    Work at home in web development. I tried a more physically active job but actually gained weight. I can manage my schedule working at home and can walk or work out anytime.

    Desk job here, and two little ones at home, so that doesn't leave me much time for me. Weight has been a struggle for me since I became a mom.

    Same situation here.

    I'm a baker for a very popular gluten-free bakery in town. I make all the cookies, and also bread for wholesale orders on the weekend. I have the "joy" of working opposite shifts for the usual bakers. Start at 2 PM - 10:30PM 3 days a week, and then 8-5 on the weekends. I'm on my feet non-stop (no time for breaks), and do a lot of heavy lifting. Figured the weight would just melt off when I started while watching my calories, but no such luck yet :P
