Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / July 2004Pedometer Reading for Tuesday - Day 6 of Challenge
Goal: 12,000 Actual: 21,304+ Everybody has been doing so great with the challenge ... just a few more days to go (although I'll probably continue till through Sunday).

You're walking your little tail off! I'm also planning to continue wearing my peddy after the challenge. It will be interesting to see how many steps I accumulate while wandering through houses for sale. I'm down another lb. and I think it's mostly due to the extra exercise I'm getting from the challenge.

I'm thinking of starting to keep track of my steps each day, can you recommend a decent pedometer? Are the free McDonald ones any good? Thanks! SignatureDewolla Stepon >>Goal: 12,000 >>Actual: 21,304+ [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Thanks! I think that any of the Sportline ones are good for measuring steps. I have the Sportline 320 which has two different stride length settings (so you could have one for walking and one for running or hiking). I don't know anything about the McDs one but I'm sure that it's fine too.

I > don't know anything about the McDs one but I'm sure that it's fine too. I have the Sportline Talking Calorie pedometer 343. It's nice that it announces at every 1,000 steps taken. It doesn't have different settings for walking and running but it's very easy to set stride length and weight. The clip that holds it to the waistline also seems stronger than old one I had. That one was always falling off even when walking normally. I've had this one fall off occasionally but it's been when I bump it against something when getting out of a chair or the car.

I >don't know anything about the McDs one but I'm sure that it's fine too. I just put a new battery in an old Sportline 355... and it is adding about 3 steps for every 5 steps I take about the house! I haven't set the stride length thing yet, but supposedly, according to the manual I downloaded, that's only necessary when you are using the distance tally feature. Remains to be seen how it will do out on a walk, but it's definitely not accurate for keeping count of steps while I'm in the house. The pulse meter part seems fine though. Has anyone used one made by Oregon Scientific? I've seen these on eBay and they look nice. But I hate to buy another if they are all about as inaccurate as my Sportline. Or maybe I just need a new Sportline. This one has not been abused though, I just stopped using it when the battery wore out and sat it in a drawer for years. Cynthia > >>>Goal: 12,000 > >>>Actual: 21,304+ [quoted text clipped - 35 lines] > > Cynthia I had my sportline in my purse for two weeks once and it never worked again. It was pretty accurate with the step count though. I'm still looking for a replacement pedometer, though I've been very much into biking, golf, yoga, and lifting this week (and a little bit of running) and my activity level is higher than it's been in a while so I'm pretty content with that. Jenn >>>>>Goal: 12,000 >>>>>Actual: 21,304+ [quoted text clipped - 45 lines] > > Jenn This has been pretty fun and I am hoping that the list makes this sort of thing a regular feature -- you know, keeps you on track to check yourself every now and then. I wouldn't want to wear the pedometer all of the time because I'm developing a "dent" in my side from it! Signaturejmk in NC I really like my Digiwalker -- I haven't tried any other kind although the other day people were saying that the McD one was OK -- it certainly couldn't hurt to use it for a start!

The McDonald's one seems to count extra steps around the house... I think it is more consistent when I am out walking. I just got a new battery for an old Sportline 355 that's been sitting around unused for a couple years, but it is adding a LOT of extra steps when worn about the house. I'd love to know which brands are more accurate. Cynthia > > Goal: 12,000 > > Actual: 21,304+ [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Thanks! FYI ... I have two peds ... one is McD's and one is a Manpo mk-365 (got it from bhg or lhj mags, I forgot which one). I reset them both and put them on while doing a few chores around the house. The McD's one reads: 182 steps and the mk-365 reads: 150. I honestly don't know how many steps I did walk, although neither have the ability to account for stride or running. HTH Teri > > > Goal: 12,000 > > > Actual: 21,304+ [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > HTH > Teri Wow! Now the McD one says 342 steps and the other one says 648 steps. That's quite a discrepancy. Teri >> > > Goal: 12,000 >> > > Actual: 21,304+ [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] >That's quite a discrepancy. >Teri I'm going to try wearing both my Sportline and my McD's tonight for my walk. However, the fact that my Sportline registered 61 steps when I reset it before getting into my car and checked it before I got out was not inspiring <G>. The McD's usually runs around 2990 or so for my usual circuit, so we'll see what happens tonight. It may actually be more acurate than the Sportline. Although I think part of the trouble with the Sportline is either it isn't working right because it sat around unused for so long, or that my middle flab is giving it extra *jiggle* factor. Cynthia >Goal: 12,000 >Actual: 21,304+ [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >Mary M >325-158-148 Goal: anything over 10,000 Actual: 11,082 janice Didn't really participate in the "challege" aspect of it today. I knew I'd have yoga in the evening, and I didn't have time to take a lunch break walk and make it to the class on time. Today (Wednesday), I'm really tired, so I don't know how motivated I'll be. Goal: (None for Tuesday) Actual: 4836 beewswing |
