    Normal daily activities are already included and shouldn't be counted.

    Okay, I get it now. I figured there was something I was missing :)

    ^Part of the reason people are wary of the forums. A simple "zero" would suffice. Rude.

    people were helpful unit the OP went def con four on them and started blasting people…but i guess you did not read through the first few pages...

    There are only 2 categories in MFP under Exercise and that is light cleaning or heavy cleaning, take your pick

    Sometimes I wonder if there are just a lot of people out there who are SO sedentary that things the rest of us think of as activities of daily living look to them like herculean efforts. It's the only reasonably sane rationale I can come up with for why so many people think they should get exercise brownie points for doing the most mundane, random nonsense imaginable. Maybe vacuuming or laundry or ironing or whatever does look like exercise when your baseline is "Today I got out of bed and walked to the living room."

    Ding, Ding, Ding. We have a winner. Pick up your box of donuts on your way out. I'm sure you burned through quite a few calories typing today. Time for a treat.

    laundry?

    What's laundry? 3 days in the same boxers crew checking in.

    Oh goodness, Mr. M… If I were your wife, you would NOT be getting laid.

    my ex used to see boxers as a change weekly item of clothing cos he showered twice a day he figured they wernt getting dirty

    he changed to wearing a new pair daily when i bought him 10 new pairs and told him he wasnt coming near me until i did a wash load containing at least 7 worn pairs

    That's gross. I was actually just kidding.

    just one of his many querks from how he was brought up. in the end i had to show him the door
