    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.

    You guys are cute. I was being as equally as sarcastic using that abbreviation as I would have been on WW message boards (another abbreviation!) and I realize I'm new. I'm rather shocked you hadn't heard it before me though.

    Kind of new so I hope this is appropriate to post in this forum since it's on topic. I would like to add more 'friends' on this site that have open diaries and in addition actually log real Fitness and Exercise. I am looking for that kind of inspiration and motivation. Not so and so burned 3000 calories doing light house cleaning, or sex, or dancing (unless it's real actual aerobic dancing). Nothing against people who are doing this, I get that it's better than old habits for tons of people, and I'm sorry if I'm sounding like your workouts are not 'real'. Just for me, it's not a realistic option and my WLJ would come to screeching halt if I tried to fob off my workouts with stuff that's already been part of my life.

    My diary is open, I am in the last 10 stretch, I bust my hump in the gym 5 days a week or better. I'm active on MFP and train with a trainer, as well as on my own. I run, I hike, I do yoga, I love a good stairmaster, I'm dreaming of a 10k in April. I want my friend feed to be filled with So and So just burned a bunch of calories doing something I want to try.

    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.

    Some people on here like me suffer a lot of pain and are getting on in years so logging in exercise like preparing meals or doing light housework...to us that is exercise. Sometimes just standing preparing meals can be painful for me if standing too long. I do do about 5mins ofstrength exercises and to me that is a big deal. I am not offended by what you say but thought i would give you the bigger picture.

    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.

    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.
