Either way, it was a milestone I remember fondly!Dr. Jhttp://calorielab.com/news/categories/dr-j-will-see-you-now/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445434750414435702.post-62743007664763717942009-05-26T10:17:08.566+01:002009-05-26T10:17:08.566+01:00Herbalife-- I wish we didn't need so much stuff!!<br /><br />Leah-- great!

I've got a small purse but when I'm carrying bigger things I've got a shoulder bag. I switch sides a lot... especially if I'm out in the sun wearing tank tops, because having a sunburn/tan with a gigantic white line across one shoulder where the strap always is looks pretty funny.Saganhttp://livinghealthyintherealworld.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445434750414435702.post-28680517772996850642009-05-25T22:27:47.851+01:002009-05-25T22:27:47.851+01:00Can't wait to hear about your weekend trip!<br /><br />And I've spent my life lugging around heavy backpacks and, unfortunately, have the hunched-over droopy shoulders to prove it.Crabby McSlackerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12108791388350253344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445434750414435702.post-5160719363740355172009-05-25T03:16:38.726+01:002009-05-25T03:16:38.726+01:00I love my big over sized purses.

I wish I had bought a back pack bag instead of over the shoulder. Other than that I have a hiking pack that gets a fair bit of use and I always use the hip straps - it's such a clever piece of equipement!Spring Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01122505632533994205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445434750414435702.post-25017162982982149572009-05-21T15:55:34.884+01:002009-05-21T15:55:34.884+01:00When I was in high school I used to carry EVERYTHING in my bag. All the books for all my classes, so I never forgot anything :D As a result, my bag weighed about 10-12 kgs. Maybe that's why I don't have such great posture? :D<br /><br />Have a good time in Beirut!

And when I do, I carry a backpack. Including a notebook computer in there. It does get to be a lot of pressure on my back...hmmm...maybe the strap across the middle is a good idea. And, I'm in need of a new one anyway, as the one I have is starting to fall apart. Good time to plan "right" I guess!<br /><br />Although it's always felt heavy, I've never thought about if it might be doing damage in some way. Good stuff!!Lancehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12347642337022150880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445434750414435702.post-44505917310002218272009-05-21T13:06:08.505+01:002009-05-21T13:06:08.505+01:00I totally hosed my posture years ago lugging a heavy camera bag for work. It's been years since I've had to carry it, and digitals weigh next-to-nothing now, but sometimes I still feel it in my shoulders. <br />I rarely carry anything heavier than a purse these days, and said purse isn't very heavy.<br />I'll definitely go with hip straps next time I have to be weighted down.Leah J.
