    I am in, too--just became of this website last week and love it! Just curious, how do any of you count steps toward exercise on MFP?

    Welcome to MFP!

    I have a Fitbit and it's synced to MFP so it updates my exercise calories automatically.

    I'm in. Just getting back...been slacking. :-(

    This just reminded me that I have not put my pedometer in my pocket today, so I'll do my best for the remainder of the day and month.

    Happy stepping.

    7/15: 8,202 steps

    Knew I wouldn't be able to average 10k steps a day (work an executive office job so am always on my butt in meetings or business lunches/dinners). I am super happy though as I am going to blow my personal goal for 200,000 steps out of the water since we are halfway through the month and I am almost 27k steps past the halfway mark!!! If I can keep this up, I will up the goal to 250,000 for the month!!

    I am seeing some really, really impressive steps on here from some of you!! Awesome job everyone!!!!!!

    The step challenge is about being more active. Great to hear you are ahead of your goal!

    I do not convert steps to exercise. When I I walking I record that time and then take the MFP calories for the time and the pace I think I am at.

    I have just found this so I will do a monthly target of 700,000

    My steps for the month to date is 285,748. Should be a bit of a challenge to increase my average but hopefully not too much :-)

    47,984 steps so far in July according to the fitbit log. That's without wearing my fitbit to add to the count for 3 days while I visited elderly relatives (they don't walk much).

    Which means that I need to do another 152,016 in 15 days which is 10,135 every day no exceptions! Go big - or go home!
