Does anyone know how I can figure out how many calories I burned mowing the grass? It took me about an hour and it wasnt level so I worked up a good sweat. I know that has to count for something just dont know how to log it.

    ^^ What JM said. It's an option in the cardio. The good news is, with a push mower, it burns quite a few calories!

    I got a really good deal on a used self-propelled mower so I just count mine as "walking."

    It seemed less risky (since it was less calorie loss) than what MFP said. Acording to that i lost about 405 calories in 65 minutes of mowing. It is an option on MFP, but it thought i burned more like 500 calories...wasn't sure which was right, so i took the lower risk (i eat my burned calories back).
    Just put your weight in and how long you did it for.
    Lawn mowing (push mower) is a great way to exercise and get some sun :) I just did this yesterday...DH wasn't sure why, and then realized how serious i am about losing weight lol
