    Hi my name is Melissa. My goal to loose 84 lb by June. Hired a personal trainer and he advised me to get the fitbit. Love it, as it really puts in perspective how much activity I wasn't getting.
    Oct 20 - 10,635 (Fitbit first day)
    Oct 21 - 11,330
    Oct 22 - 10,948 (difficult to get steps as strength training doesn't really give any steps, had to do 40 min walk)
    Oct 23 - 9,194 (found out doesn't track steps well on BowFlex TreadClimber if hold the hand rail
    Oct 24 - 5,544 (rest day)
    Oct 25 - 15,450

    October 30 steps taken were 21,060. I feel good about that! weather here is sunny, but very windy.
    Even tho walking inside isnt optimal, I do a lot of it when I can't get out for reasons.
    Traveling was the worst, sitting and watching things speed by, so wierd, and very few steps even though I felt tired as though I'd walked the miles intead of riding them!
    Happy to be on the firm ground again.

    October subtotal: 558,482 steps.

    Oct. 31 I walked 14,030 steps.

    my total for October was 558,482.

    My goal was 620,000! I'm perfectly content with the results even though the goal I set wasn't realized.

    Best wishes all you walkers. :)

    Beat my goal - though looking back it probably wasn't really a stretch goal. I will make it a little tougher on myself for November. Thanks for the challenge - it helps keep me mindful of my activity.
