Do you think I'm Lightly Active or Active? Help?

I'm wondering if my activity level is set correctly so I'd love some input!

I work 5 days a week at an athletic clothing store. I drive to work but then walk about 10 mins from my car to work at a brisk pace. I am on my feet for 7-8.5 hrs at work and even on my 30 min lunch break I'm usually power walking up the street to get lunch. At work, I'm constantly moving around, walking the floor, going up and down stairs, and lifting armfulls of clothes at a time.

On my 2 days off a week I typically veg out for 1/2 the day and am pretty active for the rest of the day, shopping or doing something else where I'm moving around. I feel like waitress would be the most comparable job, and that's listed as Active. What do you guys think?

Put it in as Active and see if you lose weight. It's just an estimate, don't make a big deal out of it.

I'd go with lightly active. You're always moving but it's not intense cardio-wise. You can always adjust it later if you need to.
