spending sitting and reading posts? I used to just log my foods and leave. Then I would post and try to motivate people. Now I find I read for too long and that is time I could be exercising. So I am only giving myself a half hour. You could spend all day just reading but it won't make you lose weight. :sad: Almost all the people who were posting when I started aren't in the posts much. Not you, Icandoit, I love reading your upbeat posts they make me smile. But if you don't see my name as much I haven't quit I'm just not giving my butt a rest anymore. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Good luck to you all and I will check in from time to time. ~Karen

    Well, I'll still be here.
    I'm reading it all at work. Dont have a lot to do these days, so I have all kinds of time to dedicate you you guys!
    Believe me, if I could be out working out, i would be. The boss tends to question me when I run down the halls, even if I explain I'm excercising!!

    About 45 min. a day on weekdays. I should probably cut back a bit.

    I can't imagine my kids being in school. If I spend all that extra time exercising, I'm gonna be a babe!

    Thank you Karen-
    I spend way to much time here. I am hooked. I am on my computer a lot, reading. I have learned so much from everybody's post. I know more about the wrongs and rights to lifestyle change and how to make my life better. For me and my family.
    If I find something interesting I love to share.
    I don't know how much time. but I manage to keep up with the house, the kids, the dog and my exercising.

    I'm here usually in the mornings - I used to play solitaire, but now I read posts. Just part of my "get up in the morning" routine. In the afternoons, I try to limit it to 15 min.

    I seem to be on and off throughout the day too! I'm very busy and sitting at the computer is just about the only relaxing time I get. some days I'm on here more than others and my hands and forearms are sore when I get off....doesn't that count as a workout??? I'm hoping my wedding rings will fit again soon if I do enough typing !!!!

    I'm hooked as well. I read it in between work and when I get home at night and if I'm home on the weekends I'm at the computer. I just love to read what everyone has to say, who knows I just may learn something!!!

    Ok I admit it I have no life :laugh: I am home most of the time and the laptop sits at the table. My wife is at work, my son in school, I am off of work on temp disa. I really enjoy reading everyones posts, it helps me learn new things and share a little of what I know, very little if you ask my wife, anyway it's hard but I do drag myself away to eat,sleep, exercise and plot to take over the world. I am sure we will see you around every now and then...:smile:

    (I really need to spell check before I post.):blushing:

    I work at a desk all day so I usually pop in a couple times in the morning and a couple in the afternoon. Then I'll check once at night after I put my final dinner cals in.

    I do leave the office to work out one hour a day... which I really need to go do right now! :smile:

    I read at work, when I should be working but hey my resume says I am an extreme multi-tasker.

    I work nights and only sleep about five hours a day so I have lots of time during the day. I like to log my food in right away, so I kill some time while my brain reads "full" reading and posting. I'll never exersice more than an hour a day anyway, been there, done that, not something I could maintain for more than a year in the past. Guess I could be organizing something, but I am learning new things and chatting, so not a waste of time.

    The question is how much time I spend not looking! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    I usually look when I log in my food or exercise, starting to think I should plan ahead a bit better and only log once per day....it's addictive though, always something interesting being said by someone!
