An exciting day today! Stunning result from our lads in The Ashes bowling the Australian team out for a pitiful 60. Not wishing to be smug at all but an exciting morning!!!
And then tonight my firstfirst Collegiate Shag class (cute loss of puns and innuendo). Exhausting and very very sweaty but great fun. My fitbit tells me I collected enough steps to have walked the equivalent of 6 miles!!! All in a two hour dance class!!
More dancing the rest of the weekend, would go for a ride otherwise but that'll have to wait until next week.0 -

A fitbit is just a glorified pedometer. In fact, I usually refer to mine as 'my pedo'
I have the basic Fitbit Zip. It clips to my bra, I forget it's there, it does its thing. It measures my steps, distance walked and how fast I have done that.
The usefulness bit for me is that is easy. It syncs to my phone or tablet, and records my steps on a chart/website so I can see if I've had a good week or a bad week in terms of how active I've been. You can challenge friends too.
There are more expensive versions of the fitbit that do heart rate, sleep etc. But I'm happy with what I get.
But yes. It's a pedometer.

Careful there on location, excessive movement on fast dance moves could give false readings! hehe0 -

THANK YOU girlinahat! My Pedometer does all your fitbit does EXCEPT I can't link it too anything like computers or phones..... It measures steps, miles, how fast I walk, how fast my heart rate gets. My old one broke and since it had a 5 year warranty they sent me a new one. It is almost like the old. The only difference is that it is a 24hour pedometer. It gives me the same miles but it seems too give me MORE calories than I got on the other. I am now wondering which one was correct....grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Today I walked the girls and I got a walk by myself. Total today 4.5 Miles...

Hi I'm new to this. I've had mfp for a few years but never really used it much. I thought I'd try to take part in a challenge to boost my motivation. I'm going to start easier than most and just aim to cover 70 miles this month on my Fitbit. I've been lazy and spent a lot of time sat on my butt as the kids have been ill so we've been stuck at home watching Disney DVDs. Now we are able to get out and about I want to up my game and get stepping.
According to my Fitbit I've done 19 miles so far so that's 11 August - 19/70 - 41 miles to go.0 -
08.01: 3 miles
08.02: 2.5 miles
08.04: 2.5 miles - so beautiful out today
08.05: 2 miles
08.06: 2 miles
08.09: 2.75 miles - took two days off while family was in town. My very sweet sister (a mother of five children) announced that we had caught her between pregnancies and we should get her drunk before it was too late I have a lot of mojitos to walk off
