Hi all! Someone told me that standing clerking (not my normal job) for 6+ plus hours a day twice a week burns extra calories and I should keep track of them...any idea how to calculate that...and is it true? CW 263, full time job is sitting on my keister all day.

Thanks for any help you can give me!

    I had a job where I was standng and walking for 8 hours a day and I lost NOTHING. I know that your body gets "used" to it.

    I stand at all my jobs...no sitting allowed. And no, I don't log those calories. I still lose weight because i eat well and regulate my food and "real" exercise but no I wouldn't try to log more calories.
