    I grew up in a small town, so I have a bit of redneck in me. That's why I refer to it as weed eating and not weed whacking or weed whipping. :flowerforyou:
    I grew up in a small town too and knew exactly what you were talking about.

    I also figured that out, though I call it weed whipping and most people around here don't know what I'm talking about. For me weed whipping burns about 350 calories an hour according to my HRM. I thought it would be more, but when you think about it (at least for me) your walking at a very slow pace so it makes sense.

    I would use gardening or yard work. Weed eating/whacking/whipping is HARD work, and not something I consider a part of my daily activities (and I only do it about every three weeks).
    This thread has had some very clever answers. Thanks for making me smile today! :laugh:

    I call it weed-eating too; and I am from the South :bigsmile:

    I've been using the one for 'mowing' to estimate cals burned.

    I'd hate to be a stoner that's trying to lose weight. Ain't gonna happen.

    It's really not all that hard...

    When I don't landscape for awhile, it could be referred to as weed eating. But it's been years since I haven't...so I can't give you an honest answer.

    Not sure what it says about me but I was a little disappointed when I saw what the OP was actually asking :blushing:

    In my experience it is actually easier. Plain lettuce salad tastes sooooo gooood after smoking.

    I'm a good girl now, but after I quit smoking weed I gained a bunch of weight because only the highest calorie foods tasted good to me for months and months after quitting. It took about a year after quitting before I liked most of the greens and stuff I ate when stoned.

    You mean trimming the "bush"?
    Also wouldn't your SO count the calories for the "weed eating".

    LOL I was fully expecting to see a post about how much you monched after smoking weed

    Yeah I wouldn't log mowing the lawn, I mean it's up to you but depending what you have your activity level set at, I wouldn't bother

    totally thought this was about avoiding munchies after smoking.

    I dont think it counts, youre just standing there, taking a couple steps, then pausing, taking a couple more steps. I count exercise as something rigorous that I do to and with my body. Not chores. But thats just my opinion. If it hasnt helped you lose weight before now, it wont start now.

    Oh wow. I had no idea what you were talking about! I was going to make so many "weed" related comments. I'd honestly treat it as a part of your days activity. MFP typically overestimates. In the same respect, I logged an hour of bowling yesterday but I find it hard to believe that a casual hour of bowling was exercise worth over 200 cals. I'd say leave it out and just know that you were more active than accounted for today :smile:

    Agreed. It's much harder to quit tobacco and try to lose weight. Tobacco is the killer, not cannabis. :smokin:

    Not 8 miles, but I do enjoy working out after a bowl, more than than without it.

    Tobacco isn't the killer.. its the 50+ chemicals added to the tobacco in the cigarettes that kills people. Tobacco on it's own isn't any more dangerous than cannabis in its natural form.
