    I already do 20,000+ a day with all my gym work and walking i do.
    I set myself a goal of 140,000 a week and always exceed it by 1000's of steps.
    To take a look i use fit and and am now trailing bodymedia as well.
    My progress is always posted on my facebook page once a week.

    I've been wearing a pedometer for a few weeks now and try to get 10,000 steps a day, although I usually only make it when I go for a walk in the evening. I'll take this challenge :)

    My after dinner walk with my dog is what usually gets me over 10,000.

    I'm definitely in — I've been doing the Global Corporate Challenge (a step count competition around the world) for three months now, and my daily average has gone up and up. This is great.

    :flowerforyou: I have an Omron HJ-720ITC.....I put it in my pocket when I get dressed to walk the dogs in the morning and carry it all day until I change into sleep clothes at night. I have been doing this for years

    Daily Goal=17,000 steps
    Daily Average Goal =20,000 steps

    August was an exceptional month because my DH wasn't here so I had lots of free time and I did all the dog walking. September will be different so I won't set a goal to exceed July.

    September 1---20,391


    September total=20,391
    September daily average=20,391

    My Sep goals are to beat my Aug numbers.
    August numbers were:
    Total steps: 462,952
    Daily average: 14,934
    Weekly Average: 108271

    9/1 - 10,651 - Misplaced my counter when I changed clothes. Had to grab another and added my last known count from the morning.

    This is why I don't have an expensive counter. I lose it, wear it into the pool, drop and break it, knock it off in the grass (found it couple days later), and the list goes on.

    Daily goal 10,000
    Daily avg. 13,451


    9/1 - 13,451 Mowing lawn, errands and walk

    I thought about increasing my daily goal but I am also trying to do 400 miles on my bike this month so I am sticking with 10,000 for now.

    I put my counter on first thing in the morning and count all of my steps till bed time. The exceptions are when I am biking and near water. I take it off just before I get on my bike and put it right back on when I am done. At the beach I will leave my counter in my van so those long walks by the water do not get counted :(
