    I would not log such a thing as "exercise." You shopped before trying to lose weight, correct?


    ETA: Since this might not be what you and some other people want to hear, I feel the need to clarify that this is MY opinion. I am not attacking. I am trying to help.

    THIS. We all gained weight while shopping and "cleaning, light/moderate/heavy effort." I seriously don't see the point in logging those activities.

    I don't it means what you think it means.

    Oh, and this sentence confused me. Did you mean to type, "I don't THINK it means what you think it means"? If so, you left out the word think. Amusing thread is amusing.

    Well, you were right about something. Feel better now? I was laughing too hard about landblasting definitions. :laugh:

    I completely agree. I get irritated when I see people log 480 minutes of leisurely walking when it was obvious they were just at work for eight hours.

    If I can add Xbox as an exercise I think you should be able to log shopping, just say 3/4ths of the time you shopped at 2mph

    By the way, Urban Dictionary and some younger people now use "landblasting" to mean "attacking". (I won't type the actual definition), but it could actually be used the same way I was intending to use lambasting. Not sure how you missed that when you did your Google search. Probably from laughing so hard, huh? :wink:

    I didn't say I did intensive research. I googled and read for about 30 seconds. You posted something funny. I laughed. Chill, man. Don't let a thread that you didn't even start ruin your day.

    Sorry you're not picking up on my snark. I'm not worked up. Just having fun and killing time at work.

    If your TDEE activity level already includes things like this then you wouldn't include it. If it doesn't and and there is significant walking then log it.

    Better yet get a fitbit and if it thinks you are walking more then your activity level it will put in the adjustment for you.

    Eek, didn't realize this topic would be so controversial lol.

    Anyway, thanks for your advice! I won't log the time I was shopping but I will log the 2 miles I walked home instead of taking the bus :)

    p.s got a really cute dress!

    There is an outlet mall near me that I go to for walking. If I go on a weekday it's not too crowded and they play my kind of music. When I go there to walk for exercise, I don't shop. But if I saw some cute shoes in the window, I might stop and look. I do the loop about 4 times.

    After all this, you need to model the dress.
