Yeah... that’s what I thought too... I use and I watch and I selected the the phone/ I watch setting to calculate my calories and it always seems lower. That was the number it gave me or sent to my phone-it’s low...I even took my son for a haircut after work, then made dinner, and ended my night with that workout. For me to break 10,000 steps using my watch.... maybe it’s me very short legs!!! 😊 lol...
I have questioned this before because the info doesn’t seem right to me either...
I need to do more research on my I watch and how accurate it is.... it’s a bummer..
I use an iWatch and it does just fine. Maybe try having yours reset to like it was right out of the box. Or, make sure you've updated it. Or run it by an Apple store if there's one near you and see what they think. There is no way those steps are accurate, and they should be. That's one of Apple Watch's selling points--the health tracking features. They might even replace it for you.0 -

Hi all! We could use a few more people on the step challenge. So if you have away to track steps please join the team.
When reporting your steps can you put the date the steps are from in front of the steps. eg. 1/8 8,984. This makes it easier for me to see at a glance what day they belong to.

This appeared on one of the other team threads this morning, and I find it so wonderful that I want to share it. Of course, substitute your team name where they mention theirs!AustinRuadhain wrote: »I am really missing my workouts so today, even though my workload hasn’t decreased, I will get to the gym!

My vision for 2020:
To find out who I am outside of “mom” since I will be an empty nester in the 5 months.
To love me no matter where I am at in my journey.
To pursue habits and hobbies that I will enjoy and that will enrich my soul.
To focus on total health (mind, body, and soul)
Don’t let any one weigh-in dictate what I do.
Choose to do the work.
Choose to show up & do the actions.
Don’t give up when you get your first bit of resistance.
Stick to your habits no matter what. Ignore your ego and avoid complacency.
Keep a connection with others who understand what this journey. Isolation is not helpful
Don’t hide when weight gain happens. Assume it will. Share your truth, and don’t let your mind tell you no one will understand.
Make up your mind that you are and will be successful.
Accept that this is your struggle, and you will not be fixed. I will need to continuously manage my condition.
WOW! This check-in is the first thing I am reading today, and @mrmcgrath has so much to say that is just SO inspiring.
Key points, for me:- Choose to do the work... YES! There are no shortcuts.
- Don’t give up. YES! Sometimes the work is figuring out which actions even work for us, for our body and environment and personality. Do the actions. Watch the results. Adjust as needed. But never give up!
- Keep a connection with others who understand what this journey. Isolation is not helpful. SO MUCH YES! And Slimpossibles is such a great space for sharing the journey!
- Accept that this is your struggle, and you will not be fixed. YES! And I think this may be the secret to maintenance. The future I at one thought I would find was one in which I lost all the weight and then got to eat what everyone else eats (more accurately, what I think they eat), as much as I want, and exercise as littler as I want (again, my *idea* of that, not anything reality-based. But of course I never get to be anybody else. All I can do is make my own choices about managing my own body and life.

It’s Friday and the weekend is finally coming. Anyone have any plans? How about any struggles you might be facing on the weekend? Anyone have any victories from the week they want to share?

No big plans for me except working out and meal prepping for the week. I’ll be busy with kids activities - hockey and birthday parties. Going to work out both days. Have a great weekend!0 -

So happy the scales are moving in the right direction. Food is going well. I’m getting gas my workouts in but not my walks at lunch - it’s so cold here right now. I can feel the difference of not getting my steps in. It’s supposed to be cold all next week (-26 degrees Celsius) so I need to figure out another way to get my walls in
