    I love the idea of the step challenge. Prior to my hip repair I was clocking nearly 15,000 steps per day but now 5 months out from surgery I have just been given the green light to walk (indoors only). I put my old faithful step counter on the other day and nearly cried when my total for the day was just under 3000. I did water walking however for about 30 min but of course couldn't wear my counter in the water.
    I must say however, after a brief cry, that I felt better overall because I am able to walk again. I can't think of a better way to enjoy life, keep you mood up and keep the weight down. Kudos for committing to taking those extra steps each day.

    Welcome Gradshcoolgranny! I am sure your step count will be back up there in no time :smile:

    As for wearing step counters into the water - I have done that several times - of course they do not work very well afterwards:ohwell:

    I'm so going to try this, as soon as i get a step counter ! Can it be bought at walmart?

    Walmart has a few different step counters. I was not as excited about the more expensive, electronic one I bought there - it seemed to miss steps. However the cheapest one they have seem to work ok. I use that one as my back up.

    My fav is the New Balance Via Slim. I usually buy it for $20 to $25. I do wish it was water resistant though. I think I have drowned two of them :grumble:

    A lot of that is just walking round the classroom, but it includes 76.68 miles of very very brisk walking (4.5pmh) as MFP would put it :)

    I do love some of the descriptions - 3 mph is walking a dog. Sometimes she gets to enjoy the walk with but not when I do my 3 mph on my treadmill.
