    I have a question: I am exclusively nursing a 10 week old, and I read online that is about 500 calories a day burned. I have been putting this in my cardiovascular exercise section...is this where it goes? Or does it really matter? (I wouldn't count this as my 24 hours worth...just asking.)

    I put it in my cardio, but I only did 300 calories

    @angmarie28 pretty much already answered, but I thought I'd add a small point - the only exercise on MFP that counts towards a calorie 'burn' is the cardio section. Anything put under strength training doesn't get a calorie burn count associated with it (however, you can add a separate entry for "strength training" in the cardio section and put in the amount of time of the workout to estimate a burn, which is what I do to get some of it to count).

    Another option would be to make a food entry with negative calories, if you didn't want to put nursing under exercise. I did a quick test with the 'quick calorie' option and it did accept negative calories, so that might be an alternate way to log it.

    Either should work, and I don't know that it matters where you put it. It would be more of a personal preference thing.

    The more the merrier for the challenge!! Welcome @ARoe9410 and @angmarie28. Glad you could join in our reindeer games...
    Felt pretty 'meh' today, so I didn't do much. Hope to have a nice long paddle tomorrow on the new board. Still predicting 'smooth' conditions. I like smooth water! :)

    One week into this, I'm changing my goal. It was 24 hours, but at this rate, I'll have that after 17 days.

    I'll need the push at the end of the month, with c25k finishing and 10 days off work, including 5 days with family that don't exercise.

    Personal Goal: 2700 minutes
    Current Total: 607

    Dec 1 - 108
    Dec 2 - 103
    Dec 3 - 56
    Dec 4 - 64
    Dec 5 - 118
    Dec 6 - 51
    Dec 7 - 107
