driving as an exercise?

I personally feel that "normal" activities like this should not be logged.

They typically do not burn more calories than you would burn in that same time without driving.

If you are wearing some sort of heart rate monitor during this period, make sure to subtract the amount of calories you would normally burn in this same time, and then you might get a more accurate view of what you burned while driving.

If you are a driver for a living and operate a large truck or other vehicle that requires a lot of physical manipulation to drive, then I would simply bump up my activity level on MFP but still not actually log the calories. Seems like the calories burned would fluctuate with every trip you took.

To me it would be like logging hours for taking a shower, walking to the living room, sitting on the toilet, or talking on the phone. These are normal everyday activities and should not be logged.

This post is about me. If i am going to log every vegetable I eat, event the ones that use up more calories to digest than the are worth, then I am going to list driving as a CALORIES BURNED! Simmer down people. For the record I have already lost 80 pound before I joined here, so I must be doing something right. I joined here to get support because I was losing focus.

I feel judged and hurt by all of your comments, but that is just my reaction to all of your opinions. I am sorry to find out that MFP is not as wonderful or supportive as I thought it was. And I am sorry that you all think I am crazy.

Eh... don't worry about the "haters".... Do what works for you... if logging everything is what works for you then by all means keep at it... because at the end of the day the only thing that counts is your health.

Oh I think this is very sad. We know we get what put into this. Hopefully this person will learn too before they get discouraged and leave. It does sound crazy to me too but mostly it just makes me feel sad for this person.
