I did some research on activities and how many calories you can burn and this is what I find:
* Sleeping for an hour will use about 46 calories
* You use 84 calories per hour to read
* Grocery shopping with a cart can burn up to 260 calories an hour
* painting or wallpapering inside your home will use about 335 calories an hour.
* playing with children at children's games will require 300 to 375 calories an hour
* play volleyball for an hour and burn 600 calories
Wow! there is a reason why I love cooking, I am burning calories at the same time....
I am totally going to start picking up some new hobbies... What about YOU!
Starting weight: 290
today's weight In: 275
total weight lost: 15
I challenged myself to lose 15 pounds by Valentine's day and I made my goal today....I am way excited
My goal for this next week is to lose up to 4-5 pounds...I think I can do it....
Question of the Week:

Go you! Good job! Good luck continuing.
CONGRATS!! So great to hear! This week we moved - that makes it a busy burning week, but now we're hoping to get a treadmill in our room and get using it! Thanks for the cal burn info - it makes me more motivated to get everything done - cooking, cleaning, playing with kids!
well i have stopped to eat bread slices in break fast as each bread slice has 100 to 110 calories so 2 slices means 220 calories instead i have stared to use barley porridge that has only 50 calories in one prepared cup including skimmed milk and one small tea spoon of sugar
Thank you for sharing Iram, I wish you all the luck in the world on your weight loss. :)
