NSV - finally hit 10,000+ Fitbit steps!

[Ann2]

In mid-2014 (before being sleeved) I bought a Fitbit to help me "get in shape to get in shape." (I'm a 69-year-old lady with bad knees and was sleeved in mid-August 2014). I've found the Fitbit motivates me to move my butt more than I would if I weren't wearing it.

Yesterday, for the first time, I recorded over 10,000 steps. Woot!

Because the weather here has been cold and raw, I've been using the treadmill more. I got in all those steps yesterday by walking a mile at a time ... three times (early morning, late morning, mid-afternoon). I enjoyed watching Netflix on my iPad while walking.

Plus, according to Fitbit, I burned nearly 2,000 calories yesterday.

So none of this is earth-shattering or original. But the big deal is that I did it!

Keep on truckin' Ann!

Great job!

[Paloma]

YAY! for you.
I just got my Fitbit. Still dont know all the in's and outs of it. I was surprised, I had an especially horrendous day at work, logged in my 10,000 steps for the day. Pretty Cool.

What a great accomplishment! So happy for you. Keep pushing forward.:-)

[Quarry]

You are my hero Ann.

We could start a club.

Good for you Ann! I love my FitBit - my daily goal is 10,000. I don't always hit it but a lot of times I do.

[Terps]

Ann, you are doing awesome!!! You're approaching your goal weight and so quickly!

10,000 steps is ALOT!! Way to go!

[Ann2]

And Kristen -- you're 3 pounds from goal. Geez Louise! A year ago, we could only dream about these changes. I realize there's no "end goal" to our journey, but it certainly is fun ringing the bells as we go around the course the first time, isn't it?

Wow, thats great!! I had received a fitbit for Christmas and even with doing a mile on the treadmill and a mile on the elliptical and still I fall short of 10,000 steps! Keep up the great work

[acnichols]

[jerzeygirl]
