Good Morning Fellow Weight Loss People. This morning I decided I would start a challenge using my pedometer. I wear it faithfully every day (my husband says I am addicted to it) so today I thought I would push myself to see if I can do 100,000 steps in 7 days. Is there anybody else that would like to join me using the following format.

Tuesday xxxxx steps
Wednesday xxxxx steps
Thursday xxxxx steps
Friday xxxxx steps
Saturday xxxxx steps
Sunday xxxxx steps
Monday xxxxx steps

Total steps xxxxxxx steps

Let's walk our way to success.

    Great to see all the interest but it sounds like we have alot of people that are not quite ready to start today and my apologies for the short notice. So let's call today a practice day and officially start tomorrow.

    I'm in! Glad we can start tomorrow -- mine needs a new battery!

    100,000 steps in a week is an average of 14286 steps a day. Woooo, this should be good!

    does elliptical machine count? I usually try to do 7 miles on that thing....if 2 miles jogging only breaks the 14,000 mark? interesting

    You'll have to try it with your pedometer and see if it counts steps while you're on it. Otherwise, does the elliptical give you a step equivalent you can add on?
