    I am laughing so hard I can't believe it. I try to set good examples for my girls. Plain and simple fact, I have no excuses for having gained my weight it was just shear laziness in every aspect. The only way I am going to get it all off is to stop being lazy and get moving, and brushing my teeth is not going to get me moving enough. Now scrubbing the grout on my entire kitchen floor on my hands and knees, maybe. NAH!

    this is an ABSOLUTE PET HATE.....i have friends on my list who log food shopping......and log 2 hours of walking for it! you spend more time stood looking at food then ya do walking! i do log my cleaning mostly just 20mins a day unless im doing some big cleaning but i do get some proper exercise in every day either a long walk, gym or insanity so at least im not cheating myself.....people eat back the cals as well, ive seen diarys with rediculous amounts of carbs, fat etc eaten due to lazy exercise and what gets me is why when MFP ups ur nutrition (due to cals burnt) to way over the daily allowence people eat it nealy all (if you understand what i mean.....so in the uk a womens daily fat allowence is 70g someone might have 80g due to 'calories burned' is beyond me i'd never eat it even if i had earned it the right way)

    If you swayed more, you'd burn more. Don't sell yourself short.
    OMG, I'm seriously going to die laughing at this thread.

    Ate out for dinner and while chillin' out waiting for the check, I over heard a child who was playing on her mom's Iphone say "Mommy you count brushing your teeth as exercise?"

    And mommy replied "Of course."

    Doesn't surprise me. If this happened on MFP, the only thing different would be that the first response would be for someone to tell her she needing to buy an HRM to "if you really want to be accurate--I LOVE mine!!!!!!!".

    I'm going to see Bill Bailey tonight and laugh. Does this mean I can log it as 'laughing my *kitten* off' as it will burn cals even though I'll be sitting?

    Instead of assuming she was serious, I would have assumed she was just joking.

    That said, there are women's health magazines that claim you can burn 100 calories washing dishes! And 50 calories doing this and this many calories doing that. People who are uninformed might actually think doing those things counts as exercise and maybe if your life has been COMPLETELY sedentary that WOULD count as exercise.

    Anyway. I say the mother was joking.

    I've actually deleted people for that before. Along with brushing their hair, showering, and things of that sort. Unless you're doing some serious squats or something while brushing your teeth, I don't want to see that posted. Haha. You're only cheating yourself.

    It might have been a euphemism for something altogether more energetic :wink:

    Alternatively, the mother might have been trying to stick to 1200. When I was I logged food preparation, washing up, anything to keep me slightly less hungry, and I still lost over 2lb a week. If a seriously overweight woman was attempting the same I can see why she might log EVERYTHING!
