Bridget,

Can you tell from my post on Striiv I was really hoping to increase the number of people interested in this group. :laugh: Ah well, it will catch on. Love my Striiv, it keeps me moving. Shortly before I bought this I had purchased the pedometer Biggest Loser endorsed and after a week returned it. It was boring and I didn't see the point. The Striiv I can't wait to snap on each day and see the numbers rise.

BYW, have you gotten the locust or drought yet? I got them both this morning, one from a bronze chest and the other from a silver. Talk about panic (in the best of ways) and boy did I get moving to cancel them. No matter what, they didn't seem like a good thing. I canceled them out so fast I don't know what they would have done to all my plants and trees. :noway:

The locust I got with a free bronze mystery chest. The drought, unfortunately I paid for. Darn!

I'm saving to open up Turtle Island, I need to spread out everything is getting too crowded.

Hey everyone! I just got my Striiv last weekend and have been walking so much! haha

I had a question for ya'll, when putting in the calories burned into MFP do ya'll enter the total that the Striiv says or do you like divide it in half and such?


Thanks!

I still only add the calories burned from actual workouts, my afternoon walk and walking video at night. I worry about giving myself too much credit and then eating too much.

I'm currently laid up and doing no workouts and the only walking I'm doing is in my apartment. I'm so glad to have the Striiv though, walking is the only type of exercise I'll be doing for a couple months. Once I'm back to 100% maybe I'll try playing with the daily calories Striiv shows I burned and see how it works out.

Let us know what you decide to do and the results, I'm sure you won't be the first Striiver wondering how to count their calorie burn.

Thanks so much!
I used to have a FitBit and it was a major plus that it automatically calulated the calories for me and uploaded it to MFP.
But, I didn't like the Fitbit all that much (no rewards! :P) so I traded it in and I'm really glad I did!

Haven't been able to earn much energy since Wednesday because of the surgery on my elbow, but I am able to continue collecting coins toward opening Turtle Island. Only 4M more to go.

I'm so close to opening the lowlands, but without energy it may take a while. :sad:

How's everyone else coming along with "MyLand"?

With all the down time for recovery I've had lots of opportunities to collect coins. Almost a 2M, not a lot of building going on though. :sad: I manage small challenges walking around me apartment, but miss the stairs at work. I like those challenges. I may finally open the lowlands today.

Wow! Good for you, that's a lot of stairs.

I opened the lowlands yesterday and hit 2M in coins. Now to plant/build the lowlands.

3M closer to opening Turtle Island!

I bought Turtle Island a couple of days ago...now I am saving for some Grandmother Trees!!

Yay! I'm a little down from 3M today. Got a mystery box for 30% of plants and buildings.

Finally purchased Turtle island, next goal the Highlands.
