Even for runs.
You can use the Fitbit app to map your run (just like you would MapMyFitness) or they have a GPS watch as well. (Although, I think Garmin would be a better bet if you are looking for GPS watches)0 -
It's a yo-yo trick!0

I know this isn't some kind of catastrophic issue, but it is an annoying inaccuracy. On a site and on a forum where people are trying to be accurate down to the last gram and calorie in their food, and also trying to track their exercise output correctly, I don't think it's strange for me to want my exercise diary to be labeled correctly. After all, I use this service to track my exercise, not to count calories.
LOL, this bugs the **** out of me, too!0 -
It's now 2018 and this persists... It bugs the crap out of me as well.

I don't have a dog, I have not selected any options through either app that should suggest I am walking a dog.
Is there any way I can convince MFP that I am just walking, sans canine?
Probably more calories burned than walking a cat.
Pretty sure that counts as resistance training...1 -
You know... if you want to be completely accurate with your tracking you should probably get a dog 😉4

Walk faster then you won't get this entry.
Or as said above just get a dog
I loke this entry when I see it on friends walls because we can make jokes about how tired the poor mfp dog must be. I guess joking isn't for everyone though0 -
I have the same problem-when Google tracks my run, MFP tells me I am pushing a buggy and you can't change it. It is dispiriting.0

2024 and I’m still walking a dog lol1

When I actually walk my dog, my watch says I'm on an elliptical, I suppose because of the constant starting and stopping and frequent changes of pace. I have no idea how to change that.0
