    My hobbies include couponing, karaoke (lol), painting, photography, and reading. I love to cook and visit with friends and family. I am also absolutely addicted to pinterest lol. I have found so many healthy recipes and snack ideas, exercises, and fitness related stuff on it.

    With school, work and gym time I don't really have time for my hobbies, but here are the things I do when I have time.
    Crafting
    Reading
    Political volunteer work
    Reading that list I realize that, when left to my own devices, I am a huge nerd!
    My newest "hobby" is working out, especially doing yoga.

    I enjoy quilting (when I get the chance) and love gardening. I also like to cook/bake and spend time with my grandbabies ages 5 and 8. I also enjoy online games but not much moving involved there lol.

    Hello all...it's not Saturday but I am here and thought I would answer anyway. Unfortunately, most of my hobbies are sedetary: knitting, crocheting (though the wrist won't let me do this one), cross-stitch, read. I am currently goiing to school...so homework is a huge hobby whether I want it or not. I do enjoy watching t.v. and have recently gotten hooked on Dr. Who. I do have a nook with netflix so I am finding that an episode of the Dr. gets me through 45 minutes of walking on the treadmill. I really enjoy anything I can do with my hands...to steal a term from a friend of mine...I am a chronic hobbiest. :)

    I fretted that I had gained a few extra pounds during the holidays....Thank God I didn't! I felt it and still feel it! I felt that I looked like that I had, but when I weighed in, I was the same. When I tried on the new clothes that I had bought, I was still the same. Guess what? That's good and bad because I cheated myself.....The greatest comfort was knowing that I can start from where I am already and continue on to the my challenge.........Take it from me and let's not cheat ourselves or a become a hinderance to ourselves in our goals....Spring is coming and when throw off that winter coat/ it will be off inside as well as out and we will look "FABULOUS!" Woo Hoo!

    Every single one of my hobbies are sedentary. I enjoy reading, watching TV shows and movies on Netflix and occasionally scrapbooking. If you asked me BEFORE September 2012, I would have said, "Eating, sleeping, reading and Netflix." :-)

    I used to enjoy photography, but found that I didn't have any natural talent for it. Also, had a tough time moving around with a camera and heavy lens around my neck. Once I lose 30-40 pounds, maybe I'll pick it up again. I like scenery and that would at least it get me out of the house.

    I love to knit, crochet and sew. Thankfully they are activities which keep my hands busy, something I need. I'm looking to take up the guitar this year. I've never played more than a few notes, but I love music. Wish me luck!

    I used to crochet and craft a lot, hoping to start adding that back soon. In warmer temps we like to garden and play outside with the kid,:smile:

    Back before children, I used to LOVE to read romance novels! lol

    I enjoy sewing-either from a pattern or just creating something, reading, baking, spending time online (MFP and Facebook)...in the spring/summer/fall I enjoy being outdoors working in the garden. Call me crazy, but I LOVE to push mow our yard...and it's the size of a football field! It's my 'real' me time!

    I love my children dearly, and I think this summer we will need to buy bikes for the youngest boy and for me. Then we can incorporate bike riding as well!

    In the colder months I love to read, watch reality shows(bachelor/bachelorette, biggest loser, survivor, red-neck island) I am a reality tv junkie!

    In the warmer months I love to camp with hubby, spend time at the family cabin on the mountain, nature walks..that's about it for me!

    My hobbies include knitting, crochet, and reading. I love to bake as well but it has gotten more difficult with food allergies and my gluten free diet, but I'm working on that. I really want to learn to play guitar. Call me crazy, but another thing I really want to learn is to build things.....like a carpenter does.....shelving, decks, etc. Weird huh?

    Currently I work fulltime and go to college fulltime, on top of having a husband and two young children, so hobbies are not a huge part of my life but I do have a few. :) First off womens groups with my church, I love doing activities with all the ladies, so fun! Second, Im a major couponer when I really have the time to get into it and get rush everytime! Third, my husband and I both are big travel nuts, we love going to new places, going to amusement parks and what not, and he even likes to go shopping with me sometimes.

    Hobbies, I've had a few over the years, reading and going to movies and the theatre/concerts were the constant ones. Reading, when I can grab a few moments of peace is still my go to, I got a Kobo mini for Christmas and have downloaded a pile of classics for free that I have read and want to reread or have never gotten around to reading in the past, looking forward to digging into them. I also enjoy knitting, crocheting and cooking. And the internet takes up some time as well now, mfp, fb and of course pinterest.

    But my all time favourite hobby is Traveling - Before kids I went to Britain, and Europe once, almost every year for about 11 or 12 years, at least 10 times. I love Ireland, Wales, Scotland and England and adored Greece. Since kids we have stayed closer to home but this year, in 4 weeks or so, we are taking our teens 14&16 to Universal Studios in Orlando. They have never been to the States and we have never been to Florida so we are looking forward to it!!

    Well, I love to read. And hanging out with my little boy is pretty much what I normally do with my spare time. He keeps me pretty busy!

    Hobbies? What are those? Haha! I really haven't taken much me time in the past 6 months. I'm determined to carve out more time for interests. I like reading, listening to music, going to the movies, shopping, going to concerts, trying new recipes, lesson planning, and visiting new places. I wish exercise could become a hobby! Maybe one day...

    I love to read!! These last couple of months I have gotten to read more than I have in a while!! I also love spending time with my hubs and two daughters (4yrs, and 3 mon). Also, I like just hanging out with my friends and having a good time. I am doing student teaching this semester, so I don't know how much hobby time I am going to have starting in a couple weeks. LOL

    I love to cook for my family, anything that makes them happy!! I'm currently in nursing school and I love to study and since I have to do so much of it, it has become a hobby of mine. I love to listen to music of all kinds as well, definitely helps me with my moods! :)

I love to have music in the background. Then there's 80's movies, I don't know why but I love to watch them, Tyler Perry movies are great too :) Theres so much I love to do!!! Oh, and Football!!! Love to watch football. scrapbooking seems like a thing of the past now that I have kids, absolutely no time for that.

    I don't really have any hobbies. This is why one of my goals this year is to take a class to learn. Right now I am researching stained glass classes in my area. I have found a few but I want to investigate the best one for me.
