and logged 18,994 steps! I missed 19k by SIX steps!


Who else gets 'irritated' by this stuff? =)

    19000 steps? That's crazy. I am busy and still rarely hit 10000 unless I go for a run.

    I regularly hit 12,000 without intentional exercise. Yesterday, I did no intentional exercise and still almost hit 19,000. We went to the zoo =)

    Its funny though...before starting to use a fit bit, I would have classified myself as 'lightly active' since I am a stay at home mom who just chases after kids all day (4 kids ages 7 and under, plus a day care baby). I now know that's not accurate. It's a rare day that I don't hit 10,000 steps.

    Getting a Fitbit was a shock for me, too. I have a desk job, but I'm not sedentary.

    I always check my step count when I get home. If I'm thisclose to goal (or passing someone in a Fitbit challenge), I'll walk around the block.

    My OCD would say 1006 to a cool 20k fortunately it would be overridden by my profound love of sleep

    Seems more like you missed 20k by 1006 steps

    I had that thought too, lol. But missing 19k by 6 steps is way more irritating, lol!

    Two weeks ago I did the same thing and missed hitting 20k by 5 steps. I was rather annoyed about that. Now I make sure to check in before I go to bed. Funny how much you come to love getting those badges. :)
