Pound on the screen.
Jump up and scream a lot.
Finally, lift monitor over head and toss.

No, I manage to burn calories while sitting still (not that that happens too often). I lost weight quitting smoking.
I need pounds!!

Oh hush your mouth Snowy, I think I doubled in size when I quit smoking. 
I am with you on the lift your monitor over the head and toss bit. Yes there are definite times that I could very easily do that.

My butt maybe huge, but I've got the fittest fingers in town!!!
I've seen chairs with laptops & keyboards built it, but has anyone ever seen an excercise bike with a place for a keyboard and mouse?...I'd bid big bucks for something like that!!!

how about an exersize bike with a generator?
The little screen tells you how many minutes of computer time you have in the uninterruptable power supply battery and if you get too low you have to pick up the pace or shut down!

Gravid...I LOVE that idea!!!....That is probably THE only way that I would actually be motivated to excercise.....I wonder if I could actually get my DH to rig something like that up for me...Unfortunately, he'd probably build in a "you bid / you get zapped" voltage thingie LOL!!

Oh Snowy, I remember and I am envious. People would say to me, "It won't last" and I would say, "Yeah right. Whatever you say."
My first driver's license said 79lbs. I was 85lbs when I got preg with my first child at 23 years old and 113 when she was born. 92lbs and a size 2 when I got preg with my second child at 32 years old. NOW I am 120lbs and size 8. I am 5'4". The problem is my frame/bone structure is built for 105 lbs and NO MORE...so now I consider myself 15 lbs overweight. It ALL in the hips. I have always been "angular" and now I am "roundish" and it just grosses me out. I am heavier than I was pregnant the first time for heaven's sake!
It's a combination of age, sweet tea, and this chair. I don't get enough REAL exercise though I am active. I don't have a clue how to diet without starving...and I need to quit smoking before it kills me. There...there's all the really gross disgusting embarassing repulsive humiliating stuff about me. Hope it lasts for you.
How about an "exercise/diet/quit smoking how-to" thread?

What is it with cats and keyboards?!?
