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.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.
Oh, and before someone says, "Well obviously you never went to the WW forums", yes, I did.
what you lookin at?0 -

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.0 -
It's all lies!!!!

ALL OF IT!

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.0

Got it. I promise to NEVER utter those three letters together again.0 -
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.0

You'll do just fine around here.

Why yes she will....welcome! =D0 -
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. 0 -
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 somewhere0
