I had a bit over 7000 steps yesterday. Today not as much. So how many steps are you getting?

I don't use the fitbit, but I have a goal to be over 10000 steps a day and usually am. I don't have to keep track anymore, but do if I think I'm slipping.

I'm still a long way from that 10,000 step mark but very happy with the Fitbit One. Have been using it for 2 months now and have lost 8 pounds. Some of that is likely fluids but it is a move in the right direction.

Way to go on the weight loss. I like the fitbit because I am competing against myself so even a few more steps per day each week feels like a victory to me.

Definitely something that encourages you to compete against your last best self........otherwise you might find yourself walking with a friend in NW TN and never having as many steps for the hike as she does. I am not saying that some people have short legs and have to take extra steps to cover the same distance but that might be one theory.

I agree your stride length makes a difference to distance, and you can set that in pedometers usually. However 10050 steps is 10050 steps and that is where I was at midnight. Yay me.

Yes, but you didn't have a little, smiling, short legged thing sitting across from you in a chair reporting her numbers with a "can't catch me" smile on her face! Just that she was right, regardless of stride.....means nothing......maybe Ms Vickie is right? Just saying.....

COngratulations on your day by the way!

Oh, come on - we all know Vickie is NEVER right...

And yes, Velda - CONGRATS!! Keep up the good work...walk those little legs right on down to nubs.
That's my goal.

Wow, Vickie, did she just say her legs used to be longer? I know that our spines shrink as we age but I think she is blaming it on short legs? But at least now she can run on her short nubs. I saw her jog....

Oh and congratulations to you and Ronnie for getting out and moving more!

[VickieP]

The only reason she jogs now, is because she won't get black eyes!

Thanks, we're trying to get a mile a day, not much, but with the heat index at 104, that's our limit right now.

Oh, stop with the boob jokes already.
Or should that be boobless jokes?

Anyone have any experience with the Aria scale?

We have the Aria scale and I love it. Info goes right into the fitbit app and/or website.
