Standing Around - The new way to shed those pounds.

Ohhhh-Kayyyy.

[donna]

This sounds logical and it would account for all the fat kids that appeared along with computer games.

(Aside from the fact that our mothers no longer love us enough to police our food for us.)

[Constitutions Grandchild]

Well, it’s a shame some of the 50,000 students on campus didn’t “stand up” to the lone individual who filed a complaint about the Christmas Tree, or they’d have one up this year and be a few pounds lighter having shed all the beer calories they’ve gained in the first semester.

bttt

[Resolute Conservative]

I sit 8-10 hours a day, it is hard to program standing. I work out 1 hour 4 days a week with weights and am only overweight because a 6’2” male is suppose to weigh 175 pounds and I weigh 230.

175 pounds is ludicrous.

[Stirner]

I think I remember reading that Rumsfeld had a “stand up” desk in his office. Maybe that’s the way for us office types to go - work on computers, etc, but do so in a standing position.

[theDentist]

Well, I sit a lot more these days than when I started this job, but truthfully, it's a lack of exercise and bad meal choices that led me to be overweight. So at either beginning or end of day I'm on the treadmill, and having more veggies, salads and fish than ever.

Anyone got a spare Reese's they can send????

[DancesWithBolsheviks]

Periodically walking outside, especially in a large office complex, to stand in the cold and smoke is also a good way to lose weight.

[Cagey]

Surfin' FreeRepublic and getting some work done at the same time.

[Tenacious 1]

This is not Global Warming Science.

But....It does add another investigative avenue to learn why we are fat.

Now, what about that taking in more calories than we burn? Is that still part of the equation?

[Tenacious 1]

Tomorrow, I am going have everyone’s chair removed to support over all health.

[SunkenCiv]

This writer *really* gets personal... ;’)

[bert]

There will be a new number on the routine test battery....gravity index

The higher the number, the better you process the fat

“My cholesterol is down, My PSA is good and the Gravity Index is still up there”
