Gazelle glider in 10-15 minute intervals with fast walking in place on my exercise mat several times during the day.

@jessicakrall8 No more steps to add before those, those are my first steps I kept track of since getting my pedometer, thanks :) :)

Happy November 10th everyone! Just checking in from Bellevue, Washington state. It's 4:00 AM and I can't sleep so am reading posts in this group 🤗

@jessicakrall8 and everyone: I just bought a pink wristband fitbit and will pick it up from the store in an hour! Woohoo! Am looking forward to counting my steps today!

:) <3 @jessicakrall8 My fitbit will be bought today or tomorrow, I am shopping online now, thanks for your answers (above) so I know what to do here about walking in place, etc. :)

Does anyone count their steps by walking in place at home? If so, what device do you use to count your steps such as when watching a video that walks a mile in place? I'm not sure if this counts as "steps"...can someone explain? Thanks :)

@jessicakrall8 :) That's a good idea about black Friday having sales! also comparing my phone tracker. I will check into this - I'm at work right now. But I will let you know when I start. I'd like to set a goal at 10,000 steps/day. Thanks. charsuzy

@jennifersusanmcdougall I can't either Jennifer! The year is flying by!

Hi Jessica, :) <3 I would like to do the step challenge - but my pedometer is not adjusted correctly I don't think. It may be a little off. My pedometer is new and it seems to be stuck where I can't adjust the strides so I may have to buy a new one. Should I just start with what I have and over the next few days try to get…

frozen turkey patties, I think they taste great and cut the calories from fat that way!

I love being in this group! It keeps me accountable!

@barbiecat You want to keep walking because you want to keep listening is a pretty great statement! That's one way to get more walking in! I am not quite ready to go out walking as soon as I get up, but I wish I were there. Being more of a night person I need coffee to get going and to listen to a tape to wake up! ha ha!…

5506 steps today, so far. It's 5:00 pm. I walked mostly inside a mall because it was raining today, then I walked on a park after the rain stopped. This is good progress for me because I burned more calories today than in a day during the last few months. I hope I can keep up with my progress!

Hi lcharpentier2, You can attach a picture when you post. Look at the top of the text box where you type into and you will see the menu along the top of the text-box. Toward the right you will see a little icon for photos. Click on that and it will open into a place to upload your photos. I cut and pasted the following…

Monday is weigh-in day so I am more aware of what I eat and do today in preparation for Monday. I know I should be conscious of weighing-in all during the week and not just when it's getting close to my weigh-in day. It's Saturday and I'm ending a 16-hour fast in about an hour. I have a really hard time getting up off the…

This is motivating me today: If you walk briskly for 30 minutes, you’ll burn about 150 calories. Do that every day for a week, and you’ll burn 1,050 calories. You need to burn 3,500 calories to lose 1 pound, so it would take about 3 weeks to lose a pound solely from a 30-minute daily walking habit. Over a year, you could…
