What do you do for a living?

What do I do for a living...Unofficially, I'm awesome. All day, every day. Officially, I'm a security officer and sit at a desk for 12 hour shifts. I plan out my meals though and make sure to pack enough food and healthy snacks for the duration of the day to keep me away from the snack machines.

I'm a cashier, so I'm on my feet all day, standing, bending, lifting, walking... I don't know exactly how many calories I burn, so I usually just tack on an extra 500 for an 8 hour shift.

im a substitute teacher. I try to circulate the classroom and avoid constantly sitting. To work out, I use the exercise machines in my apartment building.

Nutritionist/food scientist! The best part about my field is being in the kitchen. I love creating new & fun recipes for my patients that are also healthy! The only time I get physically exhausted (or even break a sweat) is when I have a lot of things being prepared at once (e.g. various foods) Otherwise it's mostly done sitting down. When I make meal plans for patients, it'll take me 2-3 hours-ish so I'm sitting on my bum.

ICU RN, some nights are go go go, some are sit sit sit. On my off days I am a walker. I get around 20-30 miles a week in not counting my walking at work. Hoping to add more soon.

^This I totally relate to, I'm a CNA at a Long Term Enhanced Care facility. On my days off and sometimes after 12 hour shifts I am a walker/beginner jogger

Tech support for a government agency. I'm a girl-nerd Unfortunately, that means I'm sitting at my desk most of the day and end up taking walks when i get home or taking short walks when I can (like getting water downstairs instead of on my floor)

I write software. I have a bad back, so I was looking for alternative ways to NOT sit all day. I built a treadmill desk. I know it sounds crazy, but you can type very easily at 2 mph. Depending on the project and company, I have been know to walk 3-5 hours/day while I code from home. However, sometimes I sit all day which not only hurts my back, it makes weight loss difficult.

I work the night shift (3am close) at Mr. Sub. On a busy night I'm up and running around for about 5 hours, but I'm surrounded by food!

I own a Mobile Travel Agency, so I can come and go as I please for the most part since I am completely mobile.

Desk job, but high stress. So, I think that burns calories. I also run 4 days a week and ST 3 days a week.

An After Hours Hospital Manager - I mainly work 10 hr night shifts - 2200-0800h rotating days.
I am part time 32 hours per week.
My role includes a "hospital round" of 22 wards spread over 6 buildings on the campus.
This usually takes me around 2 and 1/2 hours. The rest of the time I am sat at a desk.
I walk the dog for between 45-60 mins most days.
On the weekends when I am not sleeping, my husband and I go bush walking for between 1 and 5 hours usually involving a climb uphill as he trains to walk Kokoda in August.

I own my own online boutique where I knit beanies, blankets, and more.

I am a stay at home mom to a 23 month old.
Right now I am doing 30 day shred, whenever i feel like it in the day I make time for it. Then Monday's at 6:15 am I attend a Zumba class while my hubby sleeps in and stays home the our baby. Then Tuesdays I attended the 8:10 am Zumba class. Wed and Thursday nights I go to Zumba at 9pm. Weekends I usually just do the shred and sometimes I try to run. I am lucky and grateful that my hubby allows me to go to any workout class as long as we can make our schedules work! Every now and then we get in a nice 30 min family walk

I'm an office manager so am pretty much sat at my desk for most of the day :-(

I am a computer programmer so all the requirements of the job: thinking, typing and talking on the telephone can be done sitting at a desk. I am also a dad to two young children.

Before the oldest child was born I lost 2 stone (28lbs) riding round the local forest with our dog without dieting but since the birth I have struggled to find the time for that and found I had put the weight back on.

Having seen extended family members on diets eating tiny meals and talking a strange language of points and sins I had avoided starting a diet but inspired by a friend at work who reported loosing a significant amount of weight using on-line tools I decided to take the plunge at the beginning of this month and since then I have lost 4.4kg (about 9.6 lbs) whilst still enjoying my food. In this first month I have been checking out various on-line tools and only found this site and associated phone App yesterday.

I have not given up completely on the exercise - I play with the children and I take opportunities to walk or cycle when I might previously have taken the car. It is quite interesting seeing the calorie count for different amounts of exercise and how that relates to food.
