Is anyone interested in doing this with me? I know I need to increase my steps, so I am starting as a beginner.
Here is the link: http://blog.myfitnesspal.com/the-30-day-walking-challenge/
My steps from yesterday were: 3,644
Would love some company!

I'm interested. Saw this earlier today and haven't had time to read it all yet but I'll check it out. I'm worried about the time it would take on a daily basis but I guess increasing some is better than not increasing at all. I have a pedometer that measures miles - I'll have to see if it measures steps also.0

6,009 steps yesterday!0

Nice job - I tried to count mine but my little pedometer failed me
I might get a fitbit but want to find out what one works with MFP? 0 -
I found some info that might help me track based on miles. Since I average about 1.5 miles in 30 minutes on the treadmill I have been doing 3,450 steps in the morning and another 3,450 steps in the evening. Maybe I can reach 10,000 in a day. It would be about 4.5 - 5 miles at 3.5mph.
Walking Pedometer Steps Equivalents
1 mile = 2000 average steps (range 1900-2400)
1 block = 200 average steps
Activity - Steps per minute
Walking 3 mph - 100
Walking slow - under 2 mph - 61
Walking slow - 2 mph - 67
Walking 3.5 miles per hour - 115
Walking 4 miles per hour - 152
Walking 5 miles per hour - 242
Racewalking - 197
Aerobic dance - 197
Backpacking - 212
Badminton - 136
Ballroom dancing - fast - 1670 -
We went to Hershey Park on Friday, and I logged 19,000 steps. However, I was so sore on Saturday, I barely made 1,000.
Sunday I forgot to wear my fitbit, so I have no idea what my steps were. Trying to get back on track this week. Based on the challenge, I need to complete 4,500 steps today.
ReNae - I have the older fitbit one. I believe all of the different fitbits sync with MFP through the application. I love mine. Check on the MFP website for Apps - they have a list of the different trackers that sync with MFP.
If you track on MFP with your phone, it will also count your steps.0 -

I've been down with the flu Monday afternoon through last night. Back at work, but still not 100%. I'm going to use today as a rest day still, and then start again tomorrow with Day 8.

Ugghh - I forgot to wear my fitbit yesterday, and didn't realize it until the afternoon. Today, I am restarting the walking challenge.
As of this morning, I have only 732 steps
I better get moving to get to 5,000 steps. 0 -
