Does walking around for about 2 hours count as exercise? I was shopping mostly walking around and saw nothing I liked so I kept walking. Does that count?
I was also carrying my giant school bag

    Yup, I think it does, obviously it's not a brisk walk, but you're moving and using energy, so I'd say yes

    myfitnesspal has casual walking listed, but the best way I've found to add that to my diary is with my fitbit.

    lol, i seen you have a fitbit. I just got one and im trying to figure out...Do you enter the total amount of calories burned? Or is there a way to keep the orginal daily total but also keep track of like zumba, or any actual workouts seperately? i cant seem to figure out how to add my fitbit calorites burned to myfitnesspal....if you could help id really appreciate it.=) Thannnk you so much in advance.

    I got mine Saturday but since I am not eating back my exercise calories, I just look primarily at intake and will separately track additional over-the-top exercise.

    There is a Fitbit Group here on MFP that has quite a few answers for those pesky questions.
