My trainer (who is also a degreed exercise physiologist) believes that unless you're running a really high fever or feel really weak, some mild exercise is doable. I, too, am facing the same thing today, cold symptoms, slight sore throat and will probably do a walking tape or get on my treadmill for a bit - not to overdo,…

I, too, forgot my pedometer for the first half of the day. All I can say is just walked 45 minutes on my treadmill at 3% incline and also did weight lifting circuit. So not bad overall , , ,

Happy New Year everyone! I'm starting out the New Year with 12,745 steps and that's before my final walk of the night with my dog. Here's to a healthy start!:drinker: :flowerforyou:

Not great but better than nothing . . . 8210 today.

Good morning all. I didn't fall off of the face of the earth but I also haven't been doing well. Walking 1/2 to 1/3 of 10,000 steps and eating too much and the wrong things. Rather than vanish, I wanted to reach out and get back in the game. I am glad to see that so many are doing so well, particularly at this time of…

Evening folks, slow day only 6.805 steps or 3 miles. Am taking the dog for a small walk now, but since it's raining, I won't be racking up any substantial steps. Have a great night!

Please don't give up. We are here to help if you need us. 5,000 steps are better than none.

After reading the last few posts, it is clear to me that there is no one way to motivate all people. Some of us are spurred on to greater heights with a sense of competition. We fall just below someone else's score and think to ourselves "With a bit more effort, I can do that!" Others just try to do their personal best…

Yesterday, I was able to reach just over 13,000 steps. What's going on with you?

My trainer said not to eat at night since the body slows down and doesn't burn calories as efficiently. I have also heard the opposite, it doesn't matter when you eat, what counts is the amount of total calories you consume in a day. As a psychotherapist, regardless to which theory you subscribe I know this to be true:…

Today I walked over 5 miles. I cannot state exactly how many steps because I used a pedometer that resets at midnight and forgot to turn it back a few weeks ago, so my exact step count was erased at 11 p.m. tonight. I'll reset it tonight before I forget. How are you guys doing?

Welcome All, So exciting to see new people join up! I believe that despite the holidays and despite it being winter, with a good mind set, support and accountability, we can all continue to lose (or at the least maintain) weight. I was doing well, fell off of the proverbial wagon and am back in the race. The most important…

Absolutely true. I was worried about the accuracy of my bathroom scale a few years ago and researched the various brands on the market. Thankfully, my trainer brought a more realistic attitude to the table. She said, "It doesn't matter if your scale is a little off. The only person who is being weighed is you. It's fine…

This number is extremely impressive! Good for you . . .

I was very tired tonight so I walked only 11,416 steps. I have mixed feelings about tonight . . . On one hand I was glad I pushed myself to walk despite feeling this way, but I'd be lying if I also didn't admit to feeling slightly disappointed I didn't do more. Oh well, I guess that's just how things roll sometimes. How…

You're so right, Omron is considered the most accurate on the market according to many studies. I personally own the HJ-112, the HJ-720ITC (computer compatible) and the HJ-303. I have a preference for the latter and have found it to be the most accurate because it records from any angle and has an additional axis which…

Thanks for this post - very inspiring! Continued success to you and my hope is you return to this often.

I appreciate all this wonderful feedback. And only one thing is certain - no one piece of advice applies to everyone. We all have different triggers and differing levels of reactivity to those triggers. My hope is that people will continue to post their suggestions because "options buy happiness." That is, someone will no…

Christina, Too funny. I got a kick out of this post.

Tonight I actually walked over 7 miles, 2 miles at work, a 3-mile Lesile Sansone DVD and a 2-mile jogging video mix on her web site. The problem, as I've discussed on past threads, is that pedometers aren't designed to measure steps taken backwards, in place or sideways. So while my pedometer is telling me I walked 13,097…

Once again, I am very happy to see everyone. I'm curious as to what pedometers people are using?

A big hello to my old walking friend, Barbie! So wonderful to "see" you! I am excited to see people respond so quickly. Let me briefly share this with you . . . All steps count which is why my pedometer is the first thing I put on in the morning and the last thing I take off at night. It measures your movement and all…

Some may disagree, but calories are calories, regardless of when they are consumed. If you know what your daily quota is and follow that, it makes no difference what time you eat, and you will continue to maintain or lose, whatever your goal. People run into problems when they exceed their recommended intakes and/or fail…

Hi Guys, Don't know if anyone will even see this but I hope everyone is fine and doing well with their exercise. I completed 12,533 steps today.:drinker: :flowerforyou: P.S. What has everyone been up to?

So good to see you, Barb! A very Happy Birthday!

Hi Guys, I hope everyone is doing well. I got discouraged for a while, went to Weight Watchers and was told weight was up .4 of a pound (that's 4/10ths of one pound). I got discouraged and for the past few weeks, haven't been exercising (except with the trainer on Saturday mornings.) I decided to do something about it Thus…

Today I walked close to 3 miles then did a rigorous workout on my Nordic Track Ski Machine for 25 minutes. Will check in tomorrow.. Alarm is set for 5 a.m. for strength training before work. Goodnight.

It's hard to say how many steps I took because of today's activities. I shoveled snow, used my Nordic Track, walked 3 miles using a Leslie Sansone DVD and completed a full body weight training system. So, I'm still here, still in the game, but just can't give an accurate step count. But what about you?
