	list <string>::iterator it = myList.begin();
	
	int i = 1;
	int repeat;

			for(int inx = 0;inx < NUM_LINES; inx++)
			{
			cout << "Enter a line " << endl;
	    	getline(cin, input);
 		   	myList.push_back(input);

What is the problem? Your sentence does not make sense.

Something I do see wrong is repeat needs to be initialized.

Going off your title you can input something into a list by using .push_back or .push_front.
You can find more about lists here: http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/list/list/

repeat is user input

the do while loop checks if repeat is one of the numbers

why is my "Enter a line " print twice?

why is my "Enter a line " print twice?

the new-line character is left in the input stream after the std::cin on line 44, stick this in after that:std::cin.ignore();
