    Of course. Burning calories = exercise. Everyone knows that.

    Depends

    Do you burn more by right clicking?

    Sounds like a euphemism. I like it. But probably "logging calories" should be daily activity- if if isn't, you should consider making it so.

    Depends. How fat the finger is that's lifting off of the mouse...

    I have to. My activity level is set to sedentary, so every calorie counts! This way I can skimp on my actual workouts.

    Yes .. Duh. I usually log on my IPAD and it takes extra dexterity and its always autocorrecting so I have to go back and redo it. My heart rate elevates due to frustration. Those extra cals I eat in the form of half a cow. I keep gaining weight though. I think it's because I put Splenda in my tea. CURSES!!!

    YES! Every 6 weeks I opt for laptop usage with no external mouse.

    Of course I do. And the cool thing is, the more you eat, the more you have to log, so the more calories you burn!!

    This is the only way I can burn 3450 calories a day. (I do a LOT of logging as well.) If not for my logging burns, I would never lose any weight! :tongue:

    You're probably drinking it after 6pm too.

    I have my activity level set at sedentary so of course I log my logging. Because being at sedentary means I get to count every single daily activity as exercise. I even log my naps

    Knowing you, I'm sure they're hardcore naps. Sounds legit.
