They May Have Something

I fidget, I pace, I bounce my legs, I have a hard time sitting in one place -- you should see me talking on the phone!

Overweight? Maybe You Just Don't Fidget Enough, Researchers Say

So... you're saying you're scrawny?

I couldn't get past this, I was laughing so hard:

"Each participant wore a special, high-tech set of underwear, which were rigged with sensors and data loggers originally designed to monitor jet fighter motion. The underwear could track most body movements."

*LOL!*

"Fresh undergarments were supplied each day."

Thank God! *LOL!*

"Data from the used underwear were downloaded each day to a computer."

*ROFLMunderwearO!*

Thanks Ith, you're the best.

Yeh! Underwear fitted with sensors and dataloggers! :D

My legs go jigga-jigga-jigga anytime I'm sitting still, yet I'm still 40 pounds over my ideal weight at this point.

Fidgeting is all good and well, but you've got to breathe (ie, get oxygen into the system) in order to burn a decent number of calories. ;^)
