I voted no, because even though I try very hard to get 6 WOs done in a week, if something comes up that prevents that I can go with the flow. I may feel disappointed, but not obsessed. I know that missing a day here and there will not matter in the whole scheme of things. I'm more obsessed with what I can or can't eat!

TOTALLY!!!!
I finally have it fairly under control. I used to workout 2-3 hours a day in my 20's and early 30's, but now I am down to an hour or hour and a half 6 days a week. I do get a little freaky though if I have to miss on a day that was not scheduled. I have an obsessive personality too, so that does not help.

I'm like you Robin. I also voted no. Yes I try *very* hard to get 6 workouts in a week, but if I skip a day (because I didn't sleep well the night before, I'm tired, or I'm just busy) I workout the next day without thinking twice or obsessing because I missed a workout. I am definitely more obsessed with what I eat or can't eat too!

I voted no. I love working out but I'm not obsessive about it. Along with the others, I'm more obsessed about food, wish I didn't think about it so much.x(
I would have said yes, except that I have been quite calm during my recent injuries. I freaked for about one day, and then just took time off and went with the flow. Much nice this way. That said, I do love my workouts and miss them.

That's a hard question for me to answer so I did not vote...
Sometimes, yes, I DO think I'm obsessed and feel that it could be unhealthy but then I sit and think about how much I work out and say NO, I'm not OBSESSED! I work out 6 days a week for 30-90 minutes per day. It varies depending on what I have planned for myself. Is that obsessive or unhealthy??? I personally don't think so! Just because the "average american" doesn't do that much...or doesn't do anything at all...doesn't mean that I'm OBSESSED just because I do it often and enjoy it, right?
Hmmm...maybe I should go back and just vote NO!!!!:+

Uhhh, yeah. I would have to say so. If I miss a scheduled workout I get anxious. On my rest day I get a little depressed (sometimes). I'm not bothered by my obession. I feel like I'm glad because I like being trim and fit. That said, once I work out in the morning I'm done with it and I don't obsess until the next morning when I use my obsession to get me out of bed. So, it doesn't interfere with my life and that's ok.
