I am a nursing student. As a future nurse I felt that it would be hypocritical to be over weight while trying to help my patients live healthier lives.

Plus all the work conditions really wear down the body I don't wanna be in my late 30s early 40s not able to function as well as I need to because of the added weight.

I'm a nursing student also, and I work at a pharmacy right now. I felt the same way, I too think it's hypocritical to tell someone how to be healthy when you are 100 pounds over weight yourself!

I am a Rural Mail Carrier, and because of heavy lifting I was told I will be out a minimum of 6 weeks. I'll be returning to work (probably) in the middle of the Christmas rush. I have the time built up and looking forward to the vacation. I am also an artist/photographer wannabe and hoping to spend that time working on my passion. In a previous life I was a 911 dispatcher for 10 years... glad that's behind me.

I'm a new RN :) I also did not want to be an overweight nurse, while teaching others to be healthy. And I want to be able to be the best I can be for my patients :) And my family, of course.

I'm a stay at home mom and wife. I'm only 24 so I don't have much of a work history. Before my youngest was born, I was the senior account director in charge of the Asia pacific for a publishing company.

Hi Everyone, I work for a fortune 500 company in the northwest suburbs of Chicago, as a Quality Manager, PMP and a Six Sigma Black Belt freak/geek, working towards my 6-Sigma Master Black Belt certification. I support Public Safety two way radios and the networking systems that make them work. I get to travel all over the world visiting my suppliers and customers which has been very exciting....(Germany, Mexico, Malaysia, Singapore, Asia, Brazil) to name various international cool places I've been fortunate enough to visit. I traveled almost everywhere in the US. I started my career as a software engineer, then a Network Administrator and it's been a fantastic ride so far!!

I've been a stay at home mom for the last 4 years. Currently I am the cleaning crew at the apartment complex we live at, it's super flexible and works with the kids schedules. I clean the apts between move outs and move ins.

Previously, I was a medical manufacturing line lead operator. I was in charge of 40 operators and we made ICD's, defibrillators, and batteries for the devices.

Oh, I also was a trainer at Planet Hollywood years ago.

I am currently a stay at home mom of three ages 6 to 16. I do a lot of volunteering both at the elementary school my two youngest attend and also with the Plymouth area coalition for the homeless (we put homeless men up in local churches for about six months a year, feeding them dinner and making sure there are always two chaperones with them). I was previously a preschool teacher with a short stint in a toddler room and was also an infant teacher. Would love to go back to school for social services. Sleeved August 28 down 32 lbs as of this morning

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
