    I received the FitBit Charger HR for Christmas from my family....LOVE IT!! I wanted to keep track of my heart rate as well.

    I have found that with my particular stride I need to get in 12,000 steps to reach the FIVE MILE MARK. My FitBit is set to go off at 10,000 steps. I love the vibration around my wrist because I know I am not far from my goal. I am feeling great and loving life. Cheers to all of us living HEALTHIER LIVES!!

    Thanks for the info. This is great feed back :) Keep leaving footprints :)

    I like the idea of tracking your steps, it is just so motivating!
    I set my goal with 8000 steps a day when I am not exercising and 10000/12000 when I do workouts. I don't walk that much at work so this sounds realistic to me.
    I'm using the Samsung Gearfit and I love it!
    Right now I am sick and in bed so I will start the next days.
    Thanks for your encouragement!

    Welcome.

    Gear it to yourself. The main point is to move the same as the day before or more. :). As you reach one plateau make another goal :). This is a no pressure environment.

    Okay so I just downloaded the Pacer app for my iPhone, does anyone else use this? I have an interesting situation because I ride horses for a living and I tend to have my phone in my pocket. I teach riding lessons and while I am teaching I am usually walking around the riding area, just for comparative reasons I left my phone in my pocket most of the day today. I rode five horses and taught two lessons and at the end of the day ( I think I had left it in the car while I rode one of the horses) and the total at the end of the day is 9 miles, 22735 steps. I did a few days earlier leaving my phone behind while I rode and I had around 8500 steps in a normal day for me.


    as a rule I do not count riding against my calories since I do so much and my body is used to it, unless I have done more than 6 horses in a day (the I will add some calories for the day ) but I have been trying to walk at least 15 miles per week (tracked via run keeper)

    Has anyone done any experiments to see how accurate the different apps are for the phone?

    Thanks for the input!

    I just did one.

    Physically counted - 1030 (approx i lost count at least once)
    Used iOS steps - 1156
    FitBit steps - 1162

    To me they are all fairly close without adjusting my stride.

    All of these are done with iOS. The numbers are going up but only slightly. I do know walking outside in the freezing cold is not happening. I am attempting to do more walking in the office but up and down one hallway feels strange.

    I do know that if I get out at lunch my numbers definitely go up.

    Let's see what happens next month.

    Glad to see you moving and enjoying yourself :)
