Two- my computer fits in my purse, and I put my lunch in my gym bad.

i usually carry one large bag--a backpack that fits my laptop, lunch, gym stuff, etc. I'll admit, it's not very good for the posture, but what are you gonna do?

One backpack. I wiegh it before I leave. I will not allow it to weigh over 7 pounds. Since I drive "your bus" I have to carry everything with me: safety equipment, lunch, a book, my emergency contact list, a small rescue kit, and small pill pack. Oh and three big fluid bottles. I'm self contained but not overloaded.

I work as a model in New York City, so I usually have my large purse with a small suitcase on wheels... the kind that I use as a carry-on when I fly. I pack it full of what I need for the day, such as heels, clothing, makeup, etc... and just pull it behind me. It's also a great workout, picking it up to run up and down the subway steps. The little suitcase is great for everyday errands in the city, as well.

depends on what day I carry 3 on Monday due to lunch for the week

Just two: A moderately-sized purse and a medium-sized tote bag for everything else: my Franklin, lunch, reading, MP3 player, and miscellaneous.

Backpack computer bag and my purse. Lunch fits in my computer bag...

Usually when I head off to school I can fit everything in one bag. But then every other day I have to lug this huge art portfolio, so I said two.

Backpack with my computer and too many law books and my lunch goes in there and then my gym bag.

I alternate between 2-3. There's always the purse (not huge, but not tiny). I usually go the gym after work on T/Th, so those days I have a gym bag (the other days I go before). And 2-3 times a week I bring my lunch. Sometimes I bring it in a huge cooler (which, during the summer I participate in a CSA that delivers to my work, so once a week I have to lug HOME food, so the cooler is good for that!), sometimes I just throw a couple extra things in a grocery bag to supplement what food I already have at work.

A lot of the time I am pretty loaded down! But luckily I drive to work, otherwise I'd probably take up 2 seats. I have no clue what I will do in the spring when I start riding my new bike to work!

I feel ya on this, Fit. I carry many a bags each day. It's annoying.

1) Purse
2) Gym Bag
3) Lunch
4) Yoga mat (not a bag, but has a strap)
5) School Bag (I'm an intern)

There will soon be a sixth on Fridays. My boyfriend is moving and I'll have a weekend bag.

I feel like I live out of my bags/car.

I thought this was just me! It would be really great if anyone has any fantastic bags that do double duty.. like a bag large enough to fit lunch, laptop, and your smaller purse. Then I could get it down to two bags- gym and a big one. It's kind of ridiculous how much stuff I have to carry back and forth with me everyday.

I usually carry 2, my medium-sized purse and my computer bag. To be fair though, I'm usually also carrying my lunch, I haven't invested in a lunch bag yet.

its not really work. i carry my tote bag and my purse to and from my classes. but i put so much effort in class that it feels like a job.

Two.

1- small handbag
2- gym bag
3- lunch bag(contains lunch and a 2 liter pitcher of water)
4- laptop case
5- work bag (full of articles and work stuff)

Sometimes I stuff #1 into #5
It's a bit of a workout just carrying all of that stuff!

I make sure everything I need fits into one bag otherwise I downsize.

I carry 3...sometimes 4.
One morning while I was walking into work, a woman who was passing me on the street commented on how many bags I had. It was a little embarrassing.

I carry two - a lunchbag and my purse.

Does it count as 3/4 if I carry some squished up plastic/tote bags for grocery shopping in my purse as well?

I'm lucky in a way because we live in the middle of no where and the gym near us sucks...so my hubby went and bought me work out equiptment for home. But i still have my purse, lunch bag and messenger bag for my laptop....and my laptop is huge and ancient and weighs a ton! my boss has told me that he is getting me a new one and i have asked for a little 13". that way i can fit it inside most of my larger purses.

i only need my purse. i dont lug a computer around and i stop home before hitting the gym. i used to work with a girl who had 3-4 bags with her at all times though. it was insane watching her lug them around.

Purse
Lunch Bag
Gym Bag

Sometimes I have my Sigg bottle or a file folder for work too! My husband calls me the bag lady. I'm sure he means that in a good way...right?

OMG! I thought I was alone on this! lol! I look like the bag lady going to work. I have my gym bag, purse, and lunch bag. Every once in awhile I have my computer bag and camera bag. It's awful!

I carry just two - my work bag and my lunch bag. I've stopped carrying a purse altogether at work, and just slip my wallet and phone into my work bag. No reason to add another one to the mix.

just my purse

I feel bad for everyone. I only carry my purse, which is usually big enough for me to fit anything extra that I want to carry. And I work out at home so no need to lug anything else anywhere.

I've had the bag lady comments as well but feel I am making some progress lately. I downsized my gym bag because frankly I was tired of shoving it in the little lockers at the gym. I'm also patiently waiting on a new purse that has a compartment for lunch. Can't tell you how many times my lunch has gone bad when trying to save space, I tucked it away somewhere.

Finally I'm thinking of the one big bag solution but don't want to invest a lot if it doesn't go well. I may try a big, inexpensive Target work bag which looks nice enough for work, has padding for a notebook, and is very lightweight. I priced them yesterday around $25. I have so much tension in my shoulders it may not work for me though.

How ANNOYING is it to carry three bags to work! I have my everyday man-bag, my gym bag, my lunch/snack bag, AND my gym shoes!!! It's so funny leaving in the morning because my sister and I work at the same place so we both have all these things, plus her purse. OH DEAR! It's like we're leaving town or something.

I bring my purse and my backpack so I can do homework during downtime!

Just my laptop bag. I toss my wallet and cell phone in the laptop bag, and a yogurt and an apple for lunch. I have a 20-25 minute walk each way to work, so I can't really be too loaded down, or my shoulders start to ache and I already have enough shoulder problems from all the years of competitive fencing.

No bags for me. I carry 4 things:

phone
keys
sunglasses
small wallet

My purse, my lunch bag, and my tote bag (filled with my grade books, student papers, IEPs...lots and lots of paperwork!).

Two - my purse, and a tote bag with my indoor shoes, lunch, book, water bottle, etc. in it. My gym bag lives in my car, being brought in to swap out clothes. I tend to keep a stocked gym bag in my car for spontaneous gym urges.

I carry my laptop and files in one bag, my large pocket book and a tote bag with gym shoes, lunch, socks, etc. I walk 5+ blocks to work so it's always fun to steady all those bags while carrying an umbrella

I downsized from 3 to 2 bags. My gym bag and lunch bag. I used to carry a purse on top of that but now throw my wallet and a few other things into my gym bag...but man is it heavy! Especially on the mornings I go to the gym before work and have makeup, hair stuff, etc.

I have two - my medium sized purse and a tote. Right now I'm just using a canvas bag for the tote, but I would like to get something that looks a little nicer. I toss my sneakers and lunch in the tote too, so if I walk at lunch I have comfy shoes.

Just my purse and my lunch bag

Oh, i am a student and have onlyy my backpack to carry which has all my papers + everything else i carry in my purse.
i carry all that besides my laptop and other electronics such as my ipod, phone and a digital book reader for my textbooks.
I'm visually impaired so i need all those things.
oh, and a little notebook with a slate and stylus for phone numbers, digital camera, cd's containing some textbooks, flashdrive, chargers for my mp3 player digital book reader, and laptop, candy and all else.

it weighs in total like 13 pounds worth of stuff. i weighed it at home last time sometimes it can go up to 16 pounds. damn.
