ww pedometer (or other) challenge

[msblonde]

Hi all,

I started this on the weight watchers page, but will add it here too.

The challenge, ultiamtely, is to build up to 10,000 steps a day, however, as this has just started - I thought getting to the 'healthy' stage on the weight watchers pedometers would be a better start.

'healthy' is about 6,500 steps, and after that the pedometer starts counting points that you can use as food points.

I'll add mine to these threads - and welcome any one else (from any diet) to do the same, and maybe we can together start increasing our activity, gently, healthily, and more important - sustainably!

good luck all

Well I did great yesterday...
15144 steps, which equates to 6.57 miles and 4.5 APs
Yay !!!!
And this morning, I parked the car at the end of the road when doing the nursery run and made the kids walk the rest of the way... which means I get to do it twice ...
Dragged the boys out for a walk with the doggie last night which helped boost my total.. and I am planning on going to the gym after work - Bag is already packed and in the car !!

Good luck to everyone today...

Tracy

Thanks

Hi guys, i'd love to join in but i dont have a pedometer! can anyone recommend a good and accurate one? coz i know they can be a bit hit and miss! thanks

I think everyone on here at the moment is a WeightWatchers member and they sell the WW pedometer at our weekly meetings.. what diet are you following ?

 

[rhuba]

i'm just calorie counting at the mo - i dont reckon i'll need a fancy one with calories and what not, and certainly not points. i dont reckon if i want to 'earn' calories, as it'll just drop off me a bit quicker that way can i still join in the walking challenge tho?

i think i'll look up some reviews on't'interweb.

having an office job makes me really aware of how little i move during the day. i'm going to make a concerted effort to walk up and down the stairs a bit more and go for a walk on my lunch break and after my dinner in the evening.

will do a test day to see how many steps i do normally, then try to increase it. i think that's the way forward. will have to drag the oh off the sofa to come for a stroll with me of an evening!

will come on in a bit and update with my steps

press the menu button till you get to the weight, then hold down the enter button for about 5 seconds, the current weight entered will start flashing, just use the up and down button to change the weight, and press enter again when done.

:O)

Just realised why you all seem to do alot more steps than me ... before healthy comes up...

I think the pedometer must decide on the healthy level not only on number of steps but also according to your weight . Mine says healthy around 3000 steps

Stuck at work at the moment and feeling cr*p... thinking of skipping lunch and bunking off home to bed

Can always take the doggie out with the boys again later... although - just looks out of window - it's now throwing it down so unless that stops I won't be going anywhere...:cry::cry:
