    I would leave it on that so even if you do burn more calories by chasing them around you still eat less helping you loose weight faster!

    I'd say he's got it right. "Sedentary" kinda has that lazy connotation to it, but it's the closest, I think, to what you do, considering you don't work out.

    Your 4 year old works?!

    Keep it where it is ande see what your results are. It will basically give you more calories

    I'd say it depends if she works part time or full time.

    I agree as well, if you aren't working out but running after the kiddos leave it on sedentary. I also wondered about the 4 year old :huh:

    :laugh: I love that we all read that her 4yo works and skipped over the sedintary question. I'm guilty, too.

    I'd say still sedentary unless you literally chase them all day long.

    you send your 4 yr old out into the workforce? haha- I'm sure that's a typo :wink:


    If you pretty much go non-stop from early am till late afternoon, then I'd consider it more than sedentary. Lightly active would be a greater assessment- they compare it to a nurse, mailman.
    But, if you are able to sit down throughout the day and catch your breath here and there- or if what you do throughout the day varies- running errands, doing laundry, etc.
    then maybe keep it @ sedentary and consider logging the stuff you are able to do in your exercise dairy?

    Either leave it as "sedentary" and the days you run around after them A LOT then log it as condensed exercise of running for an hour or if it IS most days and you are on the go non-stop then change it to "Active" :)

    Peg Bundy was sedentary. She sat on the couch eating bon bons all day.

    I would say you're lightly active, but I wouldn't log any of your normal activity as exercise (cleaning, etc). Only things above and beyond your normal activity.
