VivaDiva01 53 Posted August 26, 2013 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!

cathycnyrs 85 Posted September 3, 2013 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. 1 gamergirl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

J.Diesel 220 Posted October 1, 2013 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!! 3 ribearty, NMJG and gamergirl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gomekast 559 Posted October 1, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

teeny1202 71 Posted October 2, 2013 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
