How many hours of walking?

Use this app called Runkeeper. If you can keep your phone on you, then it will record all that you walk and what you burnt! That's what I do!

Get a Fitbit, sync it to MFP and let it figure out what your activity is worth calorie burn via steps taken. As others suggested, you could change your activity level to reflect a fairly active work day. On my end, I prefer to have MFP calculate my allotted calories as sedentary. Some days I'm super busy and active naturally, some days i have to really work at it, and some days I'm a sloth. Knowing my base calories are set at the minimum, it gives me some wiggle room for exercise logged. Because of the variability in my activity, I absolutely log cleaning, and other daily living behavior. At the very least, I just let Fitbit calorie burn be what I go with for the day. Regardless, if you aren't making progress, then you'll certainly need to move more/eat less. Take care.

I would raise your activity level in mfp up a level and see if I lose as expected for a few weeks.

Raise it up or down again depending on the actual results.

Hey all!
I work retail and am on my feet all day. I work 7-8 hour shifts with one 1/2 hr break. The rest of the time I am sticking,helping customers,walking back and forth.

My question is, how should I log this?

Work (including housework, yard work and child care) is part of your activity level, and should not be logged as exercise.
