    Good job, Kathleen! I hit 10,433. Now to work on keeping my eating on track!

    Me too! My calories haven't been too bad but it's mostly junk.

    I use breeze and I love it!
    I have played around with it to see how sensitive it is and it is pretty bang on for counting steps and not other movements like shaking your phone.
    It is also great for sending little motivational updates that help keep me on track :)

    Hi - I'm Julie
    I'm in. I'm 48, work full-time and have 3 children plus a newborn grandson at home. I feel so exhausted at the end of the day, I can't find the motivation to exercise. Hopefully, this will be the kick-start I need!

    My steps were rubbish yesterday but I forgive myself because I swam loads so it all adds up!! This afternoon we are off for a long walk, providing it doesn't pour down with rain!! So my total steps today should be much brighter!!
