I agree. When I started my master's degree I bought my first computer. Other than using it for school I didn't use it. Now I use one because of Spark People but that is about it unless I am looking up information. It took me 2 years after hearing about SP to actually go on and use it because I am averse to sitting at a computer. It can be addictive and the time can fly when one is using a computer. I am so glad I started SP. I have lost over 60 lbs. and have been joining local SP on hikes in our area. It has been a great place for me. But I agree that we need to turn off the computer and get active. I have come to realize if I can sit for hours at my computer I can exercise for an hour or more each day. And I do!

Using time wisely

Check in everyday, read all you can, track your meals, share your experiences and don't spend all day on the computer.

trying to get to sleep

when I have trouble getting to sleep I go on the computer and do my computer work for the next day. I don't like to toss and turn so its better to get rid of e-mail or do the points for spark people for that next day. That way I sleep in later the next day and feel rested.102
