julieburns Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 Yeah, I kind of thought a lot of us were getting pedometers and using them.COME ON GUYS, POST!! Even if it isn't a lot of steps, do it anyway. Posting it will give you incentive to do more the next day! I tried wearing one at work and it kept falling off or bothering me at the waist of my pants. It clicked with each step and tha drove me nuts. Sort of like a time bomb ticking away in my pocket. I used a cheap one fro Kaiser so maybe I need to get a different one if I get one. Do others hear the ticking noise or was it just my freebie from kaiser? The few days I wore it I got over 15,000 step each day at only work!! I knew I walked alot at work. :lb25: Since my fill I havn't had any energy and havn't done any extra exercise. My bad!! I just feel like "CRAP" also because Aunt Flo is 10 days late.......no I'm not pregnant just menapausal and it sucks!! I'm going to try my Wiifit today just to do something light and get me moving.

Kimmy in MD Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 Julie mine doesn't tick at all and it has a leash so it won't fall off. I paid around $20 at Sports Authority for it. Have fun with your Wii. I want one!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mona-camille Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 Mine is a crappy $5 one from walmart and I only hear it clik if it is very quiet where I walk and it is not loud at all. Andif you wear it on the waist of your pants around the hip area, it shouldn't be falling off. Go try another one. It is worth it. Oh, and Kimmy, I ended last night at 22,487.

Phoenix Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 It is 1:10 PM and I am at 12,716 for the day so far. You must walk to work ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimmy in MD Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 I do! I take a commuter bus most of the way, but get off 4 miles from my office and walk the rest of the way in. Today however, I needed to pick up an ice cream cake for an office celebration and ended up walking about 2.5 miles to maggie moos, which was CLOSED when I got there. So I knocked and begged and they let me buy the cake and then I took a CAB back to the office. Doing over 12k this early today was entirely a mistake! But I figured I could have a slice of the cake. It was YUMMY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimmy in MD Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 I am bumping this to the top of the forum. I was hoping someone else would. To me I find it motivating and a good way to remember to keep my activity levels up. It is 8:47 AM, EST and I am at 9313 for the day so far. Come on, let's see you post your pedometer stats!
