    It always seems odd when something comes out to such a round number but that is what it read when I took it off.

    I am planning on hike today so I should get lots of steps.

    1/7 - 9,600
    1/6 - 8,651
    1/5 - 10,173
    1/4 - 10,019
    1/3 - 11,113
    1/2 - 13,625
    1/1 - 12.690

    dancing2, I saw your message about not being able to edit after a certain amount of time. Thanks. When I went back to my original post I saw there was no longer an edit button. I think that would be a good thing to add for this reason. Anyway, good job on your steps and good luck this week.

    I have an Omron that I purchased at Walgreen's. It is strictly a step counter that is worn on the hip. You don't have to measure your stride or anything. I really like it.

    I had an older Mio mechcial one that seemed to work ok for several years. It was fine when taking a brisk walk but seemed to miss steps when I was taking a slower walk. About a month ago it starting missing lots of steps so I bought a new one.

    I have a New Balance Via Slim now. It is really small. You can place in pocket or clip it to your pants or skirt. I wear mine all day so I really wanted a small one. It works well when I walk or hike. It also picks up smaller steps too.

    Having the step counter realy made a differnce for me. My old "normal" days could have as few as 2,000 steps.

    Congrats on the weekly total!
