    2/1 - 10,261 steps/4.84 miles
    2/2 - 8,679 steps/3.82 miles
    2/3 - 9,892 steps/4.85 miles(strange, FITBIT is showing more mileage at less steps than Monday)
    2/4 - 9,998 steps/4.52 miles
    2/5 - 7,360 steps/3.21 miles
    2/6 - 7,974 steps/3.84 miles( I did run today, so maybe the mileage is more because I covered more distance with the steps, not sure how the fitbit calculates that?)

    Haven't walked in about three days. Ankle is swelling and I don't remember doing anything to it. Going tonight for some new shoes. Thinking perhaps mine are past their time.

    2/8/16 Neighborhood Walk 22,053 steps 11.48 miles 2:50:01 1,178 cals

    I walked same place, same way as 2/4/16 (same number of times up and down neighborhood) yet this time it shows as longer...go figure. Now, only difference really, fitbit is on other wrist. Muscle hurts on left, so now it is on right. Not sure how long I can keep it on my right -my wrist on this side is made of metal :(

    Very impressive number of steps. Never worried exactly how accurate my Fitbit is it is the intent that is most important (although I find the One more reliable than the wrist worn products). Knee is playing up again so booked in to see a physio

    It was another beautiful day for walking, even with the snow and ice that descended upon us later in the day. I hope everyone is having a truly groovy day. Keep up the awesome walking!

    Aye, I know that there is no device that is accurate. I just like posting about how different some days can be and the conditions of those days. I get tickled on the boards when people post how "accurate" their device is. Accuracy and device just do not belong in the same sentence. But, I do enjoy my fitbit charge HR; it is a fun little toy.

    <3 !*! HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY !*! <3
    *!* FEBRUARY 2016 Walking Challenge *!*
    This is continued from previous Monthly Walking Challenges, we are walking on into the new year *YAY Keep going!*. Each month has its own thread.
    *** Anyone can join in at any time. The more the merrier, let’s keep each other motivated****

    Walking seems like the easiest way to start getting exercise, and even if you cannot track distance (or do not want to), tracking time is good too...go for a 10 min walk after dinner, or up it to 30 minutes, you will be amazed at the end of the month how much more exercise you are getting in. :)

    Come back here and just post how far you walked, even if it was to the mailbox on a given day. The important thing is that you are moving and getting out (or if you walked in place in your basement to a video). Sometimes we need a little encouragement in order to do things in life.

    Check in everyday with how far you walked or how long, this is just to motivate us to get in at least some exercise every day, and keep an eye on each other. Remember, you can track by steps, distance (miles or kilometers), time, etc.
    RULES:
    *no bullying
    *no pressure
    *just walking, dancing, stepping, hiking, anything to get you moving.
    *just lace up the shoes and take a walk!
    *anyone can join in at any time.
    Frequently Asked:
    Is there a way to flag this thread or do we have to search for it every time?

    There is a star in the corner (right) you can click that to favorite the topic. It will always be on the right when you enter the community area. You can click the star once back in the forums and it shows you the topic you starred.
