Unless I sweat I don't log my activity.......right or wrong?

I don't care what others log. I stay in my own lane and do what works for me.

I agree. Staying focused on yourself is better then thinking about what other people count as exercise. Different things work for different people. Besides if they cant do much maybe it makes they feel like they are doing their best to burn some calories even if its not much.

i log anything that's not TMI (hubba hubba) & not my regular daily exercise.

so while i lift lots of boxes at work and run up and down stairs, i don't log that because that's a typical day.

forcing my *kitten* out of bed at 7am to walk my dog for 1/2 an hour, i count that.

basically i don't agree to only count something that makes you sweat. sometimes when i weight lift i don't sweat, but i feel the exertion and know i'm working my muscles.

There are people who do NOT sweat like me. I can work out all day and barely sweat at all. Maybe a little on my forehead but thats about it. Unless I'm super hot and its a hot muggy day then yes I'll sweat a bit but in general I don't sweat. So if you were to only log what makes you sweat then I would never have any activity logged at all.

I don't log 'normal' cleaning and the like, but I would add if I was doing a full on carpet clean or moving furniture - it feels like a workout when my arms fall off and I can hardly walk afterwards ;-) I don't log walking around the shops or general school runs (but I do wear my pedometer all day), but I do log my dog walks - I run on alternate days and on my 'rest' days I will walk briskly wearing my garmin and HRM and class it as a workout. It all depends what is 'normal' for you - if I went for a walk with the dogs with the kids then it wouldn't be logged because it would be a gentle amble. Everyone is different and for some people logging the cleaning will give them the incentive to move up the exercises a bit - there's no shame in that!

I don't bother to include it, because I reason that day to day housework that I would normally do is already included. I think there's also a big danger of overestimating. If you spend two hours cleaning the house, you will burn quite a few calories, but you'd also burn a fair amount of calories in 2 hours of watching TV. When the calorie counts seem high, I sometimes wonder if people are logging the total they've burned in those two hours instead of just the extra they've burned.

However .... I don't think it's always necessary to sweat to log the calories. If you went for a walk in addition to your normal activities for the day, then I think that's worth logging whether you sweat or not. Or if you did a lot of cleaning, more than you would normally do. I think you get a sense of what's part of your everyday activity and what's "extra".

Nope, for those of us who have weight to lose (myself included), the day-to-day activities have clearly been insufficient to counter the food consumption so far, so why would I start logging it now?
It's already incoroporated within the minimum calorie requirements afaiac.

I typically don't log cleaning, but a couple weeks ago, I logged doing the laundry because I had to do it the old fashioned way with a scrub board. Lol. I was exhausted. Our machines at my apartment complex weren't working and I had to get it done. Other than that though, I typically only log planned exercise.

I don't log my cleaning rituals unless they result in me breaking a sweat. Doing the dishes, the laundry and taking out the tash DON"T COUNT.
But moving furniture to vacume, packing up or unpacking holiday decorations, washing floors by hand etc. These are things that are not done on a daily basis. Perhaps a weekly, biweekly or monthly basis.
So in my opinion, yes they count

I only log intentional exercise. ADLs (activities of daily life) are figured in when you put your activity level in set up.

I log any extra walking I do that is with the intent of trying to do extra....I do log cleaning sometimes but NOT daily cleaning...I only log cleaning when I go on a "let's move the fridge and stove and hand scrub the floor" type cleaning....bc maybe once every 2 or 3 weeks I go on a major cleaning overload...I pick aup and do normal stuff daily but every once and a while I go way overboard shampooing carpets with one of those big rental carpet cleaners and if u have ever used one of these u know it IS work lol...or as I said I hand scrub floors...tubs...and so on...heavy cleaning is a way to deal with stress for me but isn't something I do everyvday.

So I guess if I feel its outside of my daily...and my body feels worked more than normal then yes I log it. Then again I dont really exercise...I just chase a 2 year old lol

I generally log housework if its above and beyond my daily routine. So with laundry, it has to be a consistent folding, putting away etc. Not just a load or two a day -- I consider that my daily routine. I never even thought to log dishes because I have to do them each day. I do log my "get into crevaces" and "deep cleaning" because I don't do it. Picking up after my husband and two kids is an every day activity, but I don't scrub down my bathroom from top to bottom every day. Or recently, I spent an entire afternoon working in my kitchen taking everything out of my cabinets, washing them down and reorganizing them -- I logged that.

I agree....if its above ur daily norm its ok to log bc u are burning more...and honestly I dont always eat back the extra caories anyway...so I think deep cleaning is ok to log too

What I think is if you are loosing weight then obviously whatever system ur using is working. Now if I wasn't loosing weight I may re evaluate.
