I do not think I would walk more. I exercise before I go to work in the morning. By the time I leave the house in the morning I have walked at least 7000 steps and I do get up and move at least 250 steps every hour. Right now my target is 11,000 steps 5 days per week. I have been recently moving it up a bit, but other than that it takes work for me to hit my goal.0 -
7000 before leaving the house? Great!!! More like 900 for me...but 12000-15000 a day...I need more0

Having it on my wrist is enough motivation for me. I average about 18 - 20K steps a day.1 -

I love my Charge, what made you go to the ALTA HR?
Im loosing but I just started a week ago...to be continnued... @justkeeprunning91
I just like the look of the alta better. It's smaller and you can change out the band. I kept having problems with the Charge HR bands peeling off of the center. Fitbit sent replacements, but I felt like something I paid more than $100 for shouldn't need to be replaced every 4-5 months. I've only had the alta since May so I can't really comment on if it holds up better than the Charge, but so far, so good!1 -
I don't know how y'all get so many steps. When I'm teaching for 5 hours I get about 12,000 steps, but on off days I have to work to get anywhere close to 8,000. Also, I'm positive my fitbit doesn't count all my steps, I've watched it not count them. Is this common?0

It happens
But be mindful of you are leaning on a cart while shopping, it sometimes doesn't track because your arm is not naturally swinging front to back.I own a treadmill, so it's easy to watch tv shows from my iPad and track steps.0 -

I have to work for the majority of my steps. An average day, no intentional exercise gets me around 2,000 steps, this was my norm before getting a fitbit.
My daily average since then is between 13k-16k steps a day. My only exercise is walking, I'm walking right now as I'm typing this. Sitting down reading the internet is a waste of time for me now, why not kill 2 birds with one stone and catch up on mfp AND exercise at the same time

I too get 2k before and after the fitbit. When I first got the fit bit it was motivating but now it isnt.

I've had mine for nearly 3 years and it still motivates me everyday.
The only time my fitbit isn't attached to me is when I'm in the shower, which is when i charge it.
Another motivater is seeing my available calories here in my diary get higher and higher all throughout the day.

@Christine_72 YEEEEESSSS! That is so me! Charge in while showering or even while at my desk at work, I need every step! Especially since I stay challenging someone on there lol2

@iluvlife445 challenges push you to do more too with Fitbit. If you have a job always sitting, before the hour is up get up and walk somewhere for more steps. Stairs and parking far work for me too.0
