Damn things... It's frustrating isn't it! Obviously you want to keep track of how you've done... but ACCURATELY! lol

Sorry... no advice for you as I have never had one that works accurately...but it'll be great to hear if anyone has good advice on one that works properly

have you looked at the fitbug? I find that quite easy to use...X

 

[bigbluefurrymonster]

That looks a fantastic idea!

Is it accurate?

 

[Libbie]

No what is a fitbug?????
I am a bit thick when it comes to new things!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Must go shopping more !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just looked on google:

Fitbug - FEEL GREAT, STAY IN SHAPE, LOSE WEIGHT - UK

Seems a little pricey... but like the idea that you can upload info to your computer and all the other things offered online!

Does anyone know if Fitbugs support apple macs??

I use the one from the british heart foundation

the order form is at the bottom of the page.

The only problem I have is I cycle and ride too so that upsets the count, but when I just walk it's pretty accurate.
