    I make my cat clean the shower…

    However, I never see him cleaning, I just see him doing this...

    That is exactly what I would do if you made me clean your shower. :grumble:

    No one has attacked you.

    Whereas someone else in this thread has called other people a$$hats and *kitten*. and yet you think you were attacked?

    OP dont take the forums too seriously.

    If you feel you are moving and exerting reasonable amounts of energy then its up to you whether you log it or not.

    Personally id be a bit sceptical, but the test will come on how much you lose especially if you try eating any of those calories back.

    Heres an article that purports to show calorie expenditure, use it at your own peril.

    LOL I have had many cups of water and have had to use the rest room for a couple hours now, but I can't step away from this.

    TMI...who cares...

    This is just too entertaining.

    People people people please stop with the trying to protect OP crap. Its nonsense. No one was being mean, rude or telling her what to do. I guess those of you did not read the entire thread. Or just are not mentally stable enough for forums.

    Even if you did use the exercise calculator on here to figure it out, it's still going to be overestimated. I wrote this last year after seeing so many people log cleaning and food prep in their exercise log. I was curious about how many calories MFP said I would burn while doing what I consider light cleaning.

    yes - but apparently if you carry the basket around you can log in the calories you burn!!!

    What if I not only carry it but swing the basket around??? Do I burn more calories?

    Especially if it's full of cleaning supplies. Problem solved.

    The last time light cleaning caused this much of an uproar was when Bill Clinton offered to pay for Monica Lewinsky's dry cleaning.


    edit: JK, it was a heavy load.

    You win my favorite today.
