    i was just about to add you but then i realized that WLJ was an abbreviation for weight loss journey and no. Just no.

    Obviously you aren't a weight watchers crossover. I'll get over it.

    Is WLJ really a WW term? Ok, i won't hold it against you. Add me.
    No, it's not. I was a WW member for a year, and I never once heard weight loss called a "journey" until I joined MFP. I'm not saying it's exclusive to MFP, but it sure as hell didn't come from WW.

    Oh, and before someone says, "Well obviously you never went to the WW forums", yes, I did.

    what you lookin at?

    What??? The OP is trying to pull a fast one?

    Deleted!

    Yes. I completely made up that whole bit about it coming from the WW message boards (member circa 2006-2011). I like how she gave credit to MFP for the term journey though.

    OP, I think you misunderstood. "Weight loss journey" is absolutely not a new term around these parts. It's just a much loathed term by a decent amount of us.

    You can add me. I do my diary a little differently however. Everyday I log in and fill in my exercise. I only log my food on Fridays. I write everyday down in a daily planner then at the end of the week I log it all in. When I was losing weight for my wedding this way help me because I was actually writing it down and not just pushing a button on the computer. My diary is set to open so as long as you are okay with me logging my food that way you can add me.

    Got it. I promise to NEVER utter those three letters together again.

    I don't log normal cleaning...but I do log things such as taking down and putting up holiday decorations as cleaning. Mainly because I usually break a sweat because it involves a lot of up and down ladders and such. And personally, if you have turned your cleaning into a workout, say dancing while you are vacuuming, etc...I would consider that a work out because you are putting forth something extra than normal. But I do agree, wiping of the table should not be logged lol.

  • You can add me. I'm still learning, but honestly log everything :) i also only count at least 30 minute of exercise where my heart rate goes above 150 towards my "calorie out" goals.

    I am not offended bu your comments - my diary is open and yes if I log my farm work if it is extra - if i have to go and spend time unloading bales of hay and feed and carting them around the place and shovelling up manure and cleaning out stalls - that gets my heart rate up as good as going to a gym - which there aren't any convenient to me - If i go and do a lot of spring cleaning - moving furniture and scrubbing walls and windows - again my HRM and level of sweat tells me it is exercise.

    and it has worked for me - a year ago I couldn't do these things - but I can now and along with other exercise including doing walking tours at work now has really helped me lose weight and i am continuing on - we are all individuals and for some folk walking to the gate to get the mail is a start. We all got to start somewhere
