More time posting than working out?

So, just started spending more time cruising the message boards. Got me thinking, how many people spend more time on the message boards than they do working out?

Me, I think I am still working out more but in danger of flipping it around the other way.

    I'm a PT, I also LOVE working out when I'm not with clients and I still think I spend more time posting!!

    That said, I love this place and wouldn't change my post/workout ratio for anything!!

    Maybe typing on a keyboard burns a lot of calories? Naw, if that were the case I would already be at goal weight!

    My workout takes an hour and a half tops. But I'm at work 8 hours a day and I have to have some way to procrastinate.

    If I worked out as much as I'm on mfp, I'd probably already be at my goal lol but I like the friends I've made so I wouldn't change it either :)

    Agreed, started making a few friends here. It is nice to support each other, I know it is starting to help me.

    The forums can be addictive if you let them be...I don't spend more time here than working out, but it could be close ;)

    I'm a stay at home mom. I have lots of time to kill here and working out but working out is hard...so I hang out here...and read about workous and therefore workout by osmosis

    If my boss ever ran a report on how much time I spend on mfp during work I'd be SCREWED.

    I have never considered the osmosis theory. I better start recording down all these workouts I am reading about in my workout log!

    Yes. Then you'll realize just how much you actually do. It's really amazing

    I'm definitely here more than I work out. I have to find something to do while "working" and playing taxi for my kids.

    It's better for me to lurk in here than in my pantry.

    I actually think I workout more than I'm on here because I'm only on here when I'm on my stationary bike. Better hit the weights tonight though!
