Oh no! I've put on weight since I've discovered mylot!

Wow! really, maybe i should do that tonight since it's evening here already.but my head starts aching already..

Oooooh achy head, that's not good, exercise your eyes by looking out the window as far as you can for about 15 to 20 minutes once in awhile.

Letran, yes an empty stomach can give you a head ache, at least line your stomach with a banana or something, it's not good to skip a meal, if you can help it.

but there are some mylotters who feel awkward for seeing my discussions flooding their emails. well, for now i just enjoyed commenting and responding to discussions. am not that rushing too much for the post.

Why worry litran, a little weight does no harm. It is a sign of prosperity.

Yes Zandi, am feeling so guilty about it. Really not good for the joints all this sitting and slouching, the blood needs to curse through the veins, clean out the toxins, lungs need good fresh air from a good walk or run, or we'll get very rickety before our time! I think I am going to have to make a pact with some people that we do some exercise daily before being allowed to mylot....we're having a bad influence on eachother!

If both of you are guilty from sitting here for mylot everyday, then so am I. not to mention that i stay up until two or three in the morning. but i think am planning to adjust my sleeping hours now, if it works that is. i still have weight and belly, much work to do

Yes I am sure it is just a phase. Like you said, you just need to try and be a little sensible!

Hi there Shree! You can laugh all you want...honestly....it's terrible....but apparently it does happen to new comers abit, but I am definitely curbing it! I've an addictive type of personality, and then I quickly get bored of something too, so need to pace myself and be sensible! Thanks for dropping in!

well, almost every one is. like me, I am almost up here until two in the morning every single day. but for me, i only take breaks when my mom is telling me to go some where. am still physically active besides the sleeplates

I have a tv where i can see it when im sitting at the computer so i can watch at the same time, but i try to do some walking every morning, and then again in the evening. So i get in some exercise everyday.

Yes i think I'm gonna have to get the treadmill out and use it inbetween responding and things, because this is just not on. I need a kick up the backside, just gets so comfortable sitting here!

for now, am just getting up when ever there's important news going on the local TV. for now, i just can't get out of mylot. but i did a bit walking for almost two kilometers.but i loose weight a bit too

hi thea are they jelly bellies by any chance? your jellybeans I mean. I saw them the other day and was going to buy some and they were four dollars a package.wow.

Oh your one of those lucky ones....am sooooo jealous. Do you manage to fit in some type of exercise into your mylot and daily chores though...or do you do no form of exercise, and mean like some sort of regime?

Do you realise Thea, everytime I bump into you now, I have to run and get some coffee...lol...seriously. I just made myself a brew after your post.

Yes, I've followed the diet they put the roomie on to lose enough weight to do a gastric bypass on her, she's lost over 40 pounds. Now, post-gall bladder, I took it easy for a while, but really had no problems with eating pretty much whatever I wanted - part of my problem actually, I was eating everything in SIGHT! The OTHER roommate had the surgery in the spring and had LOTS of trouble, but I think she thought it'd be an instant cure, and didn't allow for the air they blow into the abdomen causing problems for up to a month later and the incisions causing more pain. Or, its been a year since my surgery and one of the spots still inches and another sometimes caused a stretchy sort of pain until I lost some of the weight. NORMALLY they do 4 cuts, but, because of my weight they had to do 5 on me, 2 of the original cuts and the 5th one are fine, its the navel one that cause the stretchy pain and the top one that I'm having itchiness with. anyway - yeah, I've been doing real well with this diet and hope to continue losing weight

20 lbs thats alot of weight to loose...wow...did you go on a special type of diet? How did you do it? My fathers in for a gall bladder surgery....any tips or comments???

Ten pounds! Thats quite alot Hatley. How long did it take you gain this much. I'm going to have to encourage you to do some exercise (and myself too)! or else....lol

I just can't imagine myself gaining that additional weight since am fat already. good thing i was able to walk a few hour ago. dont' worry hatley, you ahve all the time you need!

Yes, I do need to lose a little weight. Luckily I won't be wearing a dress, so as long as I can fit into the shirt, and jeans... I am watching what I eat, lol, though sometimes not in the right way (that is to say, I watch it go in my mouth but not watch what I put in my mouth... lol)... Good luck to you on your own goals! Have a wonderful day!

Hi there cowgirl..what a thought..sent me delirious just thinking about it..responding to all the discussions. Congrats for the engagement! And wish you all the best on your wedding! Don't get any slim fasts here, really need to get jogging again. And so do you, you've got to look your best on your big day! Well you don;t have to, I'm sure you'll good anyway. Best of luck

Oh Tamara, thats really not good, sorry I hope you don't mind me saying that. I've realised the power of mylot in the last month or so, and see that many people are active for many hours, and I have wondered about their health. I am really gonna try and pull back abit and get my exercise in again and I really hope that you do too. You know there are some mylotters who actually exercise really well and then go onto mylot, I want to be one of them! Thanks for dropping in!

Hi, most people can't keep exercising, so lots of people gain weight. i give you some advice health comes first.

Yes, this is a habit I must break! When I get dizzy, then I remember to eat something. The ice water is good :)

Hi there Karen, oh that sounds worrying! forgetting to eat, not good my friend. You'll get weak! I really hope that you'll eat properly, I shall remind you know in all my posts to you. I also hope you're managing to supplement your income well. God bless. Angelie....P.s I shall bare the ice water in mind.

I am so envy you there. Ice water?!! Wow we have that here, i think i should do that now, probably it might make a difference. yeah, i do get up once an hour to feed my baby kitty *runs to the fridge and drink cold water*

Yes it is very addictive! And thats the danger! before you know it the pounds will just keep piling! Need to get addicted to exercise, I envy people who are like that! Anyway I'm going to try now and get something sorted and try to pull back from mylot abit. Hope you are able to! Thanks for this conversation. Best of luck

Yep you sound like me! We need to get 'it' together and discipline ourselves to do something everyday! I've just been spending way too much time on mylot. Thanks for dropping in master.

welcome to mylot! Lets hope it doesn't turn into insanity! No I'm sure it won't, mylot is a fun place.

I am discovering how great myLot is. Thanks.

Yes thank you, you hit it on the spot! When things are new and interesting then they become addictive. It's my first forum and mylot seems to be a good choice, but is getting to rule me abit and thats not good. Will definitely be taking some steps back to sort my daily routine out. Thank for dropping in gr* and giving me some inspiration.

Oh throw us some kitkats, I'll help you cut down! Yummy! Ah my mouth is watering now. Tomorrow I'll have to get myself one now. God I'm so easily influenced aren't I!! yes my dogs are in the same boat, I feel so guilty, but they do go for walks on their own, but they really love it when I take them. Glad to hear you've made a few improvements my turn now! Thanks for dropping in and giving me abit of inspiration.

Yes friend thank you for the tip. i think the problem is that when I start a discussion and it gets alot of responses, then I feel I need to reply to everyone as soon as I can, which then means alot of sitting. So I think the best thing to do is not to start more than one discussion at a time, finish the responses and then do the next discussion. How many hours do you spend on mylot a day?

Yes Dex I know what you mean. But I think for most of us we need to do constant exercise. I'm going to try now and get back to my routine before I discovered mylot. Hope you get some exercise in too! Will be thinking of ya!

Yes I think you've got it down, not to mylot in the morning. See before discovering mylot, I used to go online anyway to check my emails for an hour or so and then get off. But whats been happening is that in the morning I check my emails, but then go on and mylot, well thats it then isn't....hours and hours have gone by on some days...and it's just terrible! So I have to hold back now, and just go on for an hour or two a day and no more! It's just that this is not time sometimes to respond to all comments and I get alittle worried that I'm taking too long, but what can I do?

Welcome to Mylot! Addictive....Isn't it just! Well glad that your still jogging...lucky girl! Thats what I need to do...how long do you jog for? I had just started jogging...but its kind of gone out of the window with all this rain and mylot. But I have a treadmill (which I hate)...so there's really no excuse for me.
