    Stay at home mom of 5. Just joined a gym.....it's the only way I can get 10,000 steps in. Hubby bought me the Fitbit HR for accountability as I have 63 pounds I'd like to loose.....I love all the things it keeps up with.

    I got my highest step count yesterday ever since I got my Fitbit in February. I got in 12810 and am pretty happy about that since it was an off day for an actual workout.

    Can I join too? I got a Fitbit zip for Christmas and have used it everyday. I'm determined to get as many steps in as possible so I put it on my pyjamas each night so I don't lose any first thing!

    Today I've done 11224 which included a nice 45 minute walk round my village as I realised I was low on steps.

    I would love to join (im also looking for friends to help keep each other accountable!!). I'm a sahm of two girls. I thought staying at home would make it easier to lose, I was WRONG! looking forward to getting in 10,000 steps a day

    Welcome friends! :)
    It's so nice if you to join us. Just post your steps when you can.

    I've got 800 more to go before bed ... Think I'll fold laundry and March in place:)

    So it's nice a sunny, if not particularly warm, here is SE England today so I'm going to have another nice walk later on.

    You may be interested in signing up to www.bounts.it which is a reward site that links to Fitbit (and various other devices/apps) and gives you points for exercise taken. For Fitbit you need to do 7000 steps each day to get points. Once you get to a certain level of points you can exchange them for vouchers for shops, cafes, websites etc. (each country has different exchanges).

    It's still in its trial stage and I believe that in the future there will be an option for paid add ons, but if you register before end of April I believe it's free for you forever.

    It may take a while to earn the points but if we are trying to do the steps anyway, why not get something for free from it?

    If you are interested I have a referral code that I believe gives us both additional points - grace1632.

    Despite the long post, I'm not an expert, nor related to this website, but I thought it may be of interest of likeminded people. I've only been signed up for a few days, but my points are starting to build.

    Helen.

    Just back from a 3.66 mile walk around the footpaths in my village. It took 2.5 hours at a leisurely pace with my 7 year old, stopping here and there to get some geocaches along the way.

    I'm at 10800 for today, but I expect the rest of the day to be quite leisurely.

    Today is certainly becoming a great Sunday, jm216!

    Yesterday was my highest step count. I think joining in on a challenge at work helped with that. :smile:

    Going to bed soon (I think I'm quite a few hours ahead of most people on here) and I'm at 133308 so I'm over target and a great start to my Fitbit week!

    I'd love to participate! I'm a single mom of 2, I work a full time office job so getting 10,000 steps is always a challenge!

    For those using a Fitbit we can become friends there too and create challenges!

    My goal for today is 15000 steps and I'm already at 9400 mid day.

    Is it mad that I've just been walking round my living room to get the extra 500 steps I need for today? Achieved 10018 and now off to bed.

    Only 18 active minutes according to Fitbit, not sure how active I have to be to log more.

    I totally know how you feel! I had only gotten to 6200 steps, so I turned on music to dance to while cleaning up the kitchen, making lunches, and doing laundry!

    I made it to 10,022...and only 11 active minutes.

    It's so much easier to reach your goal if you start off on a walk... Night all!
