Don't Laugh- Has anyone gained weight bc of doing GPT's?

[crazymomof4]

OK- this isn't funny! Stop laughing right now!

I started doing GPT's about 3 weeks ago. Since then I've put on at least 5 lbs!
I know it's bc. of sitting at the computer doing surveys and offers! I don't usually sit for any length of time during the day, so this is a change in my routine.

Anyone else having this problem? What do you do about it?

I thought about standing while doing the No-brainer type surveys and maybe doing some leg lifts or something.

haha. yep. I've joined a gym and have been religiously going 5 times a week for the past month. I'm feeling muscle build but I haven't seen it since I haven't given up my weekly trip to buffalo wild wings quite yet. That will be next though.

OMG!! I was going to post the same thing a couple of weeks ago!!!! I have! I've been the same weight (within a pound or 2 up or down) for 30 years and I've gained 6 pounds in the 3 months since I started GPT's! I really have to put limits on this or I'm afraid all my earnings will have to go towards buying myself 2 seats on a flight to WDW.

Sorry, but I can't help but laugh

I haven't gained any weight, but I've been blessed with a good metabolism. Even after 2 kids I only weigh about 105. I start feeling heavy when I hit 110 and that's when I "diet."

I haven't experienced the same but I have been working on taking weight off. I have managed to take off about 25 - 30lbs. this year. Plus GPTs are no different for me as I have a desk job that requires me sitting in front of a computer for most of my life anyway

If it helps any you can buy Alli through drugstore.com and receive a reward for it on one of your sites.

Hey! We could share clothes! I'm the same weight and bc. I have tiny bones (like a bird) even 5 lbs shows on this small frame. I just cannot gain 10lbs !!!!!!!!!!!!

I have always had a great metabolism too, but I think it's linked to my high activity level. This sitting for ~2 hrs/ day doing GPT and checking emails and clearing spam, etc. has changed things, I fear. I definitely feel wider in my seat!

Is it possible to jog in place with fingers on a keyboard?
Maybe in between surveys I should run up and down the stairs a few times...........I'm serious! I've got to make up for these periods of inactivity!

I also think this has not been a great way to lose weight. I seem to be spending less time on the sites lately probably because I know what I am doing now. So I need to put more time into excercise. At least when I do netwinner I can do laundry and other things and just push a few buttons.
