Hi Y'all,
I was wondering what everyone does to combat Auctionaire's Disease? I am starting to have the symptoms:
Thighs jiggling a little more than usual
Jeans getting a little hard to button
Chocolate wrappers mysteriously appear around my computer
Sweatpants permanently affixed to my body
Any exercises I can do while listing or doing my EOA mail would be appreciated.
(PS. except Kegels... I've done so many while sitting here that I swear that's the strongest muscle on my whole body! LOL)

Well, I do believe that is the first time I've seen kegel exercises mentioned on these here boards. 
And for those of you (men) who don't know what they are, I'm not going to explain it.
Welcome to AW GirlStuff.

How do you know if a woman is doing her Kegal exercises? Watch her eyebrows go up and down.

Ummmm, aroused? I supposed you are going to tell me there was no pun intended??
I'm sure glad I was done eating my pizza when I read the posts from Margot and BitsandBobs.

Well, as a matter of fact, I suggested kegels while waiting in line at the Post Office a while back.

Its always good to keep a toothbrush handy to sweep away those tell tale crumbs that get lodged in my fancy mousepad. I have earned my ebutt after four years,it's hopeless.

Zeldas LOL
I have an ebutt as well, since giving up smoking. Smoking was my favourite pastime while spending time at the computer, when I could smoke no more I took up eating at the computer, mainly chocolate and sweets, so my butt grew and grew. LOL Well I am being a good girl and this week I have banned food from my office.  Hopefully the shorts and jeans will fit again in a little while.
Bob, behave please.

I haven't got an old friend that doesn't have an ebutt-----its contagious for ebay diehards----I can always spot the guys with the big belly filling out those hawaiaan shirts( I live in Fla) I can guess how long they have been at it----They usually have grown a beard. It hides those puffy cheeks. My mouse has taken quite a beating I swear sometimes I can hear it talk to me saying feed me feed me so I do -----those potato chip and bagel crumbs lodge so nicely on the rollers-----I figure cleaning the rollers may burn at least 10 calories a day!

Hiya Girlstuff!
I highly suggest setting an alarm and getting up and *moving* for 10 minutes of every hour.
That, and make a rule: NO EATTING AT THE COMPUTER!! (Try chewing sugarless gum....I really recommend the Peppermint bubble gum).
I got tired of my computer butt about three months ago (ok, ok, the computer butt started WAY before I ever sat down at a computer), and I've lost close to 30 pounds since mid. December. Of course, I'm dieting and working out as well.

I wish I had the coordination to use a treadmill and list on ebay...boy could I work up a sweat and get healthy. Unfortunately, I am one who cannot walk and chew gum! Congratulations, on your weight loss lotsafuzz (shall we stone her now?) Ooooohhh I could scareeem!!I don't eat at the computer but I do take those 10 minute breaks...that must be the problem. Just call me bubble butt! (well, not if you like chewing your food instead of using a straw!!) lots of smilies cause I'm retaining water and don't know what to do with my fingers!! tippy toeing out of the room.......
The cardiologist's diet: if it tastes good, spit it out.

Wow lotsafuzz, 30 pounds, that's great! I've stopped drinking sugary pop and also watching my portions at mealtime, and it seems that I've dropped a couple of pounds that way. I also do squats in the shower. I know, it's a strange place to exercise, but it's the only place I ever think about it!

RB, Zilvy: Thanks! I should add that I do more than just the 10 minute breaks.....I wish that is all it took. I work out 3 times a week at my gym (I'm in a 'program' ) and then work out twice a week on my treadmil (If anyone ever finds the guy...yes, it must have been a guy, who invented that thing, let me know. I've got some 'plans' for him).
I've got a lot more weight to go, but I'm feeling pretty good. Today I pulled out my shorts from last season (which around here means last November) and they don't FIT! They are falling off my body, much to the amusement of my postmaster. I'd do a happy dance, but the family warned me about accidently mooning them again!

lotsafuzz, that is some great achievement. Congratulations. I wish it were me.  I am back on my diet and with luck my big butt will be a bit smaller butt in no time. LOL
Oh yes and I have to say that I am glad we did not get to see that particular happy dance or should we call it a moon dance.

Congrats on the weight loss lotsafuzz! I used to teach aerobics now I am concentrating on my auctions instead and I tell ya, going from working out 13 hours a week and eating all you want to working out zero hours a week and eating all you want makes a big difference in the weight zone.
Hopefully I will get my butt in gear now that it is warming up (the weather, not my butt)!
Whoever it was that mentioned squats in the shower.... oh, the visual!!! LOL
THANKS FOR THE WELCOME EVERYONE!

I recommend a stairmaster with built in internet access and a 15" touch screen. I really love mine....
