    I will be using the pedometer that's located in the "health" app on my iPhone... anyone else using that?

    Does anyone know of any good walking for weight loss plans?

    Weight loss is all about calories in < calories out. Walking/exercising is all about your fitness and cardio. Walking 30 minutes a day will help you feel better, great for cardio. You cannot outrun, or out walk, out exercise a bad diet.

    I got a Fitbit charge HR. I love it!! It keeps great track of my steps, and the calorie burns are more reliable. Love the workout mode. Love, love, love!!

    1/1...26973/11.6 miles (took a hike)*
    1/2... 7023/3.0 miles
    1/3...11768/5.0 miles
    1/4...11217/4.8 miles
    1/5...7222/3.1 miles
    1/6...14332/6.2 miles (hike!)*
    1/7...23059/9.9 miles (3 walks, no hikes!)
    1/8...19488/8.4 miles (hike)*
    1/9...2514/1 mile
    This is when I SNAPPED & bought the HR. At my caregiving job in a rural area of the Russian River i build a huge fire every morning, restock fire supplies from the garage, cook meals, and run up and down stairs at least a half dozen times, sometimes more, and my phone pedometer was not capturing any of it! Before El Niño hit I didn't care because I just came home & took a walk. But now I want to see those steps too dammit! :)
    1/10...11338/4.8 miles
    1/11...19092/8.2 miles


    *So far I have 17 miles out of 500 contributing to Jack London State Park's Klondike500 Challenge!



    Nice to see you! Now we can be fitbit buddies!

    Nooooooooooo!!!!! Let's find it! Do you listen to music or such when you walk? I love to listen to my music and get lost in that while I walk. Just remember you are not out there alone! At any given time, one of us is out there with you!

    I'm in. Got a new fitbit for Christmas and so far I love the workout mode when I take a walk. Thanks to a knee injury Christmas day it has been slow going. But I am up to a mile in one shot, thanks to the dog it is a slower mile than I would like. (All those post cards to answer on the path) but we are getting there.

    1/11 2 Miles (walked with a friend and then went shopping)
    1/12 1.5 Miles (walked with the dog and then hit the grocery store for dinner)

    Okay, I'm late to the party, but better now than not at all. I will either start tonight or tomorrow when I first get up. I had started walking in my neighborhood last summer, but then school, money troubles, an accident, etc. At any rate, it's a new year and I am ready to do this....and I refuse to buy new pants, so there's that. :#

    That's so me! I was complaining a couple weeks ago and my husband said to go buy new ones. I said no, I want to fit in the ones I have!
