This is a really stupid question I know - but has anyone found that this job makes you put on weight? I've always been really active in previous jobs, running around and aways on my feet so no need to do extra excercise and I keep thinking if I sit on my backside all day I'll put weight on coz I don't excercise. saying that I've actually lost a few pounds in the last couple of weeks - simply because I haven't had time to eat - and, a good thing - I'm not smoking as much. I did 2 practice sets today on people, they both took around 3 hours with a 2 hour gap in between and my bum is killing me from sitting so long.

if im not on me a--- doing nails im on this site. but funnily enough latley im loosing weight. 9.6 st to 9 st sinse summer hols. yay.xx

OMG you have made me realise that I have put on nearly 2 stone in the past 5 years ... since I started doing nails full time!! Mind you I was dead skinny and needed a bit of extra meat ... at least I have boobs now lol!!

Oh pleeeeeze - you must have been about 5 stone - you are so slim now!!

I was also going to say oh well I'll get muscles in my arm from all the filing - but thought better of it (lol) coz if we put the product on correct, we don't need to file much do we, coz filing is boring!! hmmm yes ok, I have a lot to learn!!

You are now officially my best friend lol!!!

I used to say I'd got one arm like 'Olive Oil' & the other (buffing arm) like 'Popeye'.

Guess I'm showing my age!

For all you young one, Olive Oil was the seriously skinny girlfriend of Popeye the Sailor!

Must be my bed time now!!!!! Where's me 'ot water bottle!

Hunny, BREATHING makes me put on weight!

He! He!,

Now I'm holding my breaaattthhhhh!

LMAO you guys are mad!

OOOh actually that last post was a bit of a pun and I didn;t realise, so if you want to get a smaller bum then start giggling cos LMAO!! (that's laugh my arse off if you didn't know!)

Well I'm sorry... I am just right for my height.... err... well if I was 7' maybe!!!

I have always had 'ample' buttocks and having a baby in my 40's and C-sec gives me a permanent 9 months pregnant look... very fetching.. sigh! My hubby is trying to keep up with me too... bless him.. his 18 pack has crept up to 24+ pack now !! It would be a sad world if we were all skinny minnies...

Who am I kidding!!

adds - "bum bum" (in a basil Brush voice)......(that's a small fox puppet to those who don't know who Olive Oil was)

OMG Max ( my little black dog) is just like Basil Brush, he's as daft as him too!

LMAO! Now I've got hips that I never had since doing nails. I bought a stool instead of a chair to sit on. My original theory was that if I'm sitting on a stool I can hold my stomach in and sit up instead of slouching. Dont think I've even remembered to do it once!

Yep I do think we put weight on doing nails!
