[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do by you gain 10# due to commuting?? Are you eating the entire time?[/quote]

Because its an excuse. Commuting has zero relationship with healthy eating habits. And bad eating habits are the #1 driver of obesity. [/quote]

Unless your commute severely limits your available free time to workout, which is the problem I'm facing. 75 minutes each way, have to leave my house no later than 6-6:15, in the evenings I'm default parent with daycare pickup, activity drop off, pick up, dinners, baths. By the time DH gets home 8:30 or later, I'm too tired to get a workout in. Plus I often need to work an hour or more in the evening, depending, which can't start until kids are in bed or DH gets home. I try to awake at 4:30 for a bike/run/jog, and am successful 2x week max. I pack extremely healthy foods for my day (fruit, raw veg, salad without cheese or animal protein, maybe just some kidney beans), drink tons of water everyday, park the farthest I can in the metro parking lot, always walk the escalator, get off one or two stops from my office to get a brief walk in at the start/end of the commute. Still, it's not enough, at 40 and needing to lose 10-20 pounds, I need at least 3 or more serious workouts each week. With our current life situation, location of jobs/home, ain't happening.

I''m not complaining, but merely proving an anecdote that it's pretty easy to understand how a long commute could contribute to 10 pounds. No need for the snarky "Tubby" remarks, walk a mile in our shoes before you judge.[/quote]
