carni 10,094 Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 That's Good plantfit, You are doing well. Keep up the spirit Miduck. looks like the "Silva stepomiter" given to plantfit has a good reputation Melissa: no idea how much they cost though, I'm sure you will find the info on line. The one I am using is a Karrimor. It is on offer at the moment at Sports Direct: half price at £5.99. As soon I I saw the price: I knew it was the one for me. . No idea how it compares to others, but you can read the reviews on line. It doesn't jump steps, and goes off if you are still, it will carry on from the last total when you have taken 4steps. That is incase you make moves that aren't true steps. You can even take it off and it will add to your total when you put it back on. I have taken it off for around 3hrs so far, and as long as I don't reset it, it will carry on recording. PS Having a good day today. Will add total later! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

carni 10,094 Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 Yahoo! I Did It. 10,000 steps. Well my "Fellow Stepists", I have had a busy, busy day. I have been on my feet nearly all day. I don't know if you are like me: but for some reason, during the week before I go on holiday, I strip all the beds and change Linen. I wash every piece of clothing, whether we are taking it away or not. I clean all of the cupboards out. You name it, and I will have cleaned it WHY? Anyway all of this activity has given my steps a boost. Total of Morning and Afternoon Pedometer..........................................................2,735 One and half hours cycling average 8mph (good conditions)..................................7,462 Total 10,197 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
darkazana 1,736 Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 Woohoo! Well done Carni Still working on mine for today, will report in later Melissa you can also get an app for your phone to use it as a pedometer for free 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MelissaJKelly 2,121 Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 I'll give that a try tomorrow! Never thought of that! Thank you Quote Link to post Share on other sites
darkazana 1,736 Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 Well here it is....drrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr umroll!!) ta daaaaaa 9209.... Not quite to your dizzy heights yet Carni, but had a jolly good day getting there. Visited Wolferton this morning. The royal station where the royals used to get off the train on their way to Sandringham....very neatly kept now and a pleasant trip out. Dersingham marshes are just down the road, so we'll have a walk through the reserve next time I think. After this we had a pilgrimage to Our Lady's Shrine at Walsingham, and a peaceful walk round the centre there. Then after a cup of tea back at our friends house in Hillington I went for a brisk walk up towards Flitcham and back just for good measure. Looking forward to seeing if you can keep up with us owduns Melissa, have fun tomorrow and don't forget to report in. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 Well done darkazana. From the looks of it you have had a very nice day, and certainly deserve every one of those 9,209 steps. You manage to fit in a lot more walking than I do, mine is mainly cycling, but so long as we enjoy whatever way we choose, it's all good fun. I'm looking forward to next week at Lytham: pretty sure we will do more walking than at home. Those steps soon mount up don't they: I think my neighbours think i've finally lost the plot when they see me marching around the garden: Counting!! (Making my step count higher) Hope you get your Pedometer Melissa. I am sure you will enjoy the challenge. Possibly not going to be one of my healthiest days tomorrow. Our daughters birthday treat. Fish and Chips at Bewdley. Well. We can't let her eat alone can we? 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MelissaJKelly 2,121 Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 Thanks guys, think I'll struggle keeping up as I'm sat down all day at work, but I will be making the rounds up during my breaks/lunch hopefully! I will most definitely report in, phone app pedometer permitting! 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,510 Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 Feel like I'm missing out on the fun (?) here. Better get myself a pedometer and walk the dog more often. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MelissaJKelly 2,121 Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 There's probably an app for the iPhone as well Lizzie! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
darkazana 1,736 Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 Have a great day out with your daughter today Carni, I'm sure you'll get some steps in. I'm still saving up my calories for a fish and chip day out at Wells Next The Sea....we have to cycle there from Holkham Hall for me to earn them....hopefully on Monday if the weather is good (I'm a fair weather cyclist!!) Melissa, even in the office you can get steps in. it's recommended that office workers should get up every hour if only to walk around the office. It's amazing how the steps mount up. Even parking the car a bit further away from the door, or getting off a bus a stop early and of course using stairs instead of the lift. there are loads of ways to boost your steps. You'll enjoy the challenge even more trying to work out how to do it. Good luck mi duck. (If you have a wii fit, the step part of the aerobics game really boosts your steps too) 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 Thankyou darkazana. I am looking forward to my lunch: I only have a fish and I scrounge half a dozen chips from hubbs. This morning is out for cycling as it is blowing a gale out side. If it calms down, we may get out later. Hope your Fand C are as tasty as I know mine will be. Consider them as a reward for all the steps counts you are accumulating.Lol Lizzie, Come on gel, get your pedomiter on. Your steps will soon mount up with walking your dog. I was amazed at how quickly the number rises. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chulla 4,946 Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 Just crossed my mind. If you strapped a pedometer to a woman's jaw,how long would the batteries last before they started smoking? lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 Two minutes fifteen seconds, believe me !!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLY2 10,108 Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 Just thought chula, the batteries would last indefinitely as a woman would break the strap instantly. Well, mine would. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MelissaJKelly 2,121 Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 You're brave saying something like that Chulla... but I'll let you off! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 Moment Of Reckoning Oh Dear Me. I knew I would have no self control today. Today in the words of the song. "I want it all and I want it now". Well I did! and I have done! Fish and Chips were "Bostin": Ginger Biscuits were delicious, and the Chocolates, Cor, How did I enjoy them. Let me count the ways. Mmmm. No cycling. Just a very small amount of walking. Steps amounted to............................................5,560.Huh I blame my daughter! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
darkazana 1,736 Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 Not a bad tally of steps Carni for "Just a very small amount of walking"!!!! Glad you have had a thoroughly lovely day, worth every step you didn't do I'd say! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 darkazana, Thankyou, we did and our Daughter (most Importantly) enjoyed her treat. Weather permitting, we will be on the cycles in the morning. I've got a busy day tomorrow, so feeling optimistic of a better result. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
