Alright, it's not actually a fitness app, it's a fun little game put onto your phone that encourages you to go out and explore the world and keep active. It does this by letting you go out and hunt virtual creatures in the world and collect them, as well as marking off various locations in your area you can stop by and check. I'm not here to promote the game, except I totally am. It's really obvious in this blog just how excited I am about this, so much so that I put together this Group to try and find new MyFitnessPal Fanatics who are using this so we can share our adventures, talk about our frustrations, and talk about how it's helped our fitness routine.

Seriously people, get on board. I've never had so much fun exercising. (Also - It got me into posting on the blog and groups on here, and I've been here like a year)

    My kids love this app! The day they started playing this is the first time all summer they have willingly been active. Might have to use this on my morning runs... to be a good example to the kids, of course. Not to beat them or anything ;)

    @JenHuedy Same for me! The kids actually wanted to go with me on a walk last night! Usually I have to nag them to get them out of their rooms (teenagers :neutral: )

    If the servers were better, I'd have been able to play more, haha! I can't wait until they get all the kinks worked out.

    Truer words have never been spoken! It's so bad for me that the MAJORITY of time I'm waiting for servers or reloading the game. And when I got it working I went from 60% battery life to only 30% battery life in only 5 minutes! (But I got a Poliwhirl, a Vulvix, and a Pigiotto so it was worth it.)

    But it makes me want to go outside, which is awesome!

    I got charmander and pidgey so far. But the only thing from my part of town to almost the Canadian border is venonat. Damn thing is hanging out in a pond between my property and walmart, so I can't get him.

    *dies laughing* Oh Rottified, I feel your pain honey. I can only imagine how some of the poor people living on the shore of the great lakes feel, or the ocean.

    So who else is out there walkin' the miles looking for these digital beasties? I was out for about 5 hours last night with my family. A bit obsessive, but it was a Friday. :) Found some really neat hidden parts of town.
