Over the past week, I've gotten over 10,000 steps per day every day except 1!

When I worked at McDonald's last year the least I ever got was 10,000 a day. It really does make a difference working in a fast paced position.

Hey sunnflr. I think an average of 7,000+ steps per day is quite impressive. No, I'm not a member of America on the Move. But it does sound pretty cool. Maybe I'll check that out. No, I'm sorry to say I haven't lost any more weight. That's because I've been eating more junk lately and not writing my food down. That is literally the ONLY way I will lose weight--writing every single thing down that I eat. If I'm not writing it, I can guarantee I'm not losing anything. I've got to go to the dr. next week and I can't remember how much I weighed 6 months ago at my last appointment. I hope I'm about the same now that I was then. If I've gained, she WILL mention it.

Maybe you haven't gained any. I'm sending good vibes your way!

That's good to know. Thank you!

Hi writersedge. Oh, that's too bad about losing your pedometer. I order mine from Walmart.com. The pedometer I order is the Omron Premium Pedometer and it has a safety clasp. It's actually fastened on in 2 ways. I don't think it could be easily lost. And, I do use the safety clasp--it has prevented the pedometer from falling to the floor when it came unclipped for some reason.

Hello Ms. jillhill. That's wonderful that you get plenty of exercise on your exercise bike. I used to have one a long time ago but we got rid of it before we moved down here 5 years ago. They are fun to ride and offer a different workout from the treadmill. I had gotten rid of my treadmill, too. But after living here 3 years, I said I won't hardly ever get any exercise outdoors because it's so hot out there. So, I went out and bought the cheapest, brand new, treadmill I could find (at the WalMart, of course). Well, I guess a person can get exercise outdoors in FL but it's got to be VERY early morning, unless it's our winter time. Then, you can pretty much walk anytime outdoors. Anyhoo, sorry to hear about your feet hurting, that would not be fun. But at least you can get your workout on the exercise bike!

Hey there, ellie. I love my pedometer! It just makes me move more. But I think it's great when people are just naturally active and don't need anything to tell them they need to move more. Sounds like you have a built-in exercise program--your kids. Good for you. Thanks for the compliments. Now, if I could only eat less!

HiLouise. My pedometer is an Omron Premium Pedometer. I order them from Walmart.com. They are the best pedometers. They automatically turn over to 0 at midnight so you never have to worry about re-setting it. They are more expensive than some other pedometers, but, they are also more durable and have a safety clasp, you'll never lose it if you use that second clasp. Plus, the automatic rolling over of the steps is a great feature. Hope you get one.
