Exercise should read "activity". Housework counts, gardening counts, shopping counts, swimming with the kids counts, etc... Anything out of bed and off the couch is generally good.

To be honest I don't count "activity" only intentional exercise - meaning that I do it for the sole purpose of the exercise. Exercise requires special clothing or equipment. If I'm in my regular clothing, it's not exercise.
Shopping, cooking, cleaning.....that's all daily life. And I did all that stuff when I was fat.

So that's just my hangup. It's going to be really hard for me to say "20 minutes cleaning the house", but I will. Count me in!

Lol. I know what you mean there hun. Shopping, cleaning etc, isn't an exercise to me either, and I don't log it in MFP or on the UAC.
Walking the dogs, jogging and biking are my usual activities - walking the dogs doesn't sound like much but we go for miles over countryside and mixed terrain, so we all get a good workout, human and canine alike, lol.

On my rest days, I give the house a good clean through, I also have various pets so they too get a good clean, and walk the dogs but at a steadier pace, easier terrain and not so many hills. I don't jog on my rest day ( I have 1 or 2 a week)

Hi, I'm sorry if this question has been answered and I missed it, but I'm wondering if we are sill considered within our calories if we eat back some of our earned calories through exercise. For example my calorie intake is 1286 and sometime if I've exercised a lot that day and earned another 600, I'll eat 300 back. Would I still be able to say I was within my calories?

Also my fitbit automatically tracks all my steps, so when I do 30 min on the treadmill, I don't make an entry as exercise on my account, as I don't want to double count my earned calories. However, I plan to enter the 30 minutes on this challenge. Hope that makes sense.

Yes, that's fine hun. My set goal is 1220 but, like you, if I've done a good burn that day (I can do over a 1000 calorie burn most days) I'll eat back some for the extra fuel.

My fitbit tracks my steps and exercise as well, and I enter this in my post on the UAC.

I’m so ready to do this!!
