    Wednesday check in

    Calories under
    Exercise none but did reach step goal
    Water yes

    Thursday goals
    1. Stay under calorie goal
    2. Get to gym
    3. Walk 60 minutes total

    Pretty well did nothing all day but rested. Last night I came very close to going over calorie goal as I got the munchies after I closed my diary. Tonight I am going to eat a snack to prevent a repeat.

    Wednesday Check In

    Calories: under
    Exercise: did an elliptical workout during lunch. Plus got in a good outside walk after work.
    Water: I have one more glass to go, but I’ll get there. In fact, getting for that water now!

    Tomorrow:
    Stay in the green on calories.
    I wonder if I can do my bike exercise in the morning? I’m usually a little stiff early in the morning, but I might try it. Don’t think it’ll happen after work tomorrow so that may be my only shot.
    Keep working on water intake.

    Hi everyone!
    Feeling better- getting over my cold 😊
    Calories: under
    Steps: 2/7- 685
    I thought my steps would have been more ...Oh well...
    That’s even after a 20 minute run and 20 minute power walk...
    I’m surprised because I move around a lot during the day so it’s surprising how little calories I burn from my movement...earned no additional calories today....yikes...

    Jenn, I'm thinking maybe your tracker isn't working or you left out a digit in your steps report. What do you think? Usually, I get about 2000 steps per mile just walking, and if you were running for 20 minutes you probably did more than a mile. You probably got in a mile during your 20 minute power walk. So you should have at least 4000 steps if not more.

    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..

    Hi there, yes I would check that out. I have no problems with my Apple Watch tracking my steps, and those number seem very off. I would suggest checking your settings and make sure it’s assigned to the correct wrist.

    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.

    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.

    Steppers so far

    Wednesday check in

    Calories: under
    Exercise: it much during the day; was at my desk all day unfortunately. Came home and did a 30 minute interval run which felt good
    Water: not enough

    Opportunities for today:
    1. Really focus on getting in at least 60 oz at work and then keep drinking at home
    2. No sugary snacks
