Weight loss may be good for your body, but it can also be good for your career, as one Virginia woman showed.

Carolyn Allen, who is featured in an article by the Washington Post, used a seminar program called First Class to lose weight on Weight Watchers and become a team leader.

But she didn't stop there. Allen created a website called Myweightlossfriend.com, complete with inspirational thoughts and eventually the "One Minute Weight Loss Inspiration System," which is slated to compete in Oprah's Big Idea Product Search.

Now, that's what I call making every moment count.
