    Yep... I have an office job. Which is why I keep my calorie intake around 1200-1400. I sit all day and don't move much, but once I get off work I hit the elliptical for 45 minutes.

    I'm a receptionist in an office 8-5 and although its a big company with 2 buildings i never ever go any further than downstairs a few times i day, i try to bring in my own lunch so im not tempted to go into town and buy rubbish. We have a lot of clients in during the week and provide lunch for them, anything that's leftover is then put out for us to help ourselves and it's very hard to resist. We also have a little birthday tradition where if its your birthday you bring goodies into the office to share, today i have to admit i slipped up and had a few mini cakes as it was someones birthday.
    I used to get a lift off a co-worker to work as our kids go to the same nursery, i now make sure i walk it as often as possible (unless it's pouring down with rain, which is quite often where i live) I'm getting better in the willpower department but i must admit it's a struggle and i can't help but think sitting at my desk at work all day is piling the pounds on me. I've just tried to be as active as i can once im home, cleaning, playing with my son, going jogging with a friend, 30ds and swimming, rather than sitting down and watching tv as then i would be sat down around 12 hours a day which is where i think my weight problem began.
    I'm hoping that logging onto MFP and seeing exactly what i eat, and what exercise i do (or don't do) is going to keep me on track!
