Hello im new here .I have been using a walking pedometer for the last 8 months and i was searching the internet and came across myfitnesspal i really like this site. my question is do i use the excersise calorie counter on here or should i use what the pedometer tells me ? does anyone else use one and how does it compare to the caloires burned on here?

Thanks Starzz904

    Hi welcome! :flowerforyou: Good Luck on your weight loss journey...I am not currently using a pedometer, but I am looking at getting the one that Jillian recommends. When I start, if there is a variance, I think I will use what my pedometer says as that is a more accurate reporting of what I have actually done.:bigsmile:

    How great is the variance on yours?

    Hi, I take the reading off of my pedometer as it is set to my weight and my stride. Wow, you walk alot, good for you!

    Jillian recommends the Ormon...check out her web site, it shows it there. I have checked it out on Amazon and other sites, and the review by users is 4.5 out of 5 stars. It is one of the most popular and everyone seems to really like it. I like the fact that you can put in in your pocket or your purse and it still maintains an accurate reading.:flowerforyou:

    9 miles a day??:noway: WOw you are AMAZING!!! GO GIRL!!!:flowerforyou:

    I use OMRON hj112 since Jan/09. It's great. I don't have to clip it on, just put in my pocket or my purse, right side up, upside down, doens't matter. Still counts. Works like magic!!:happy: If you go to Walmart, you'll find it in the pharmarcy section next to thermometers.

    Hi, I live in Canada. I paid $36Cdn + tax.

    It's really good. It's my first pedometer ever and I've walked almost everyday even in -25Celsius temperatures outside b/c of having it. Very convenient and motivating. :happy: :happy:

    Gd luck.
