I am 3 1/2 weeks out and although, I got to 10,000 steps today...admittedly, I don't see that happening every day at this point because I am not fast. Even if I was cleared for running, my running would be the speed of someone else's "walking." But, I still feel good that I am getting there...

hey, that's great! I think the main thing is your moving.

I haven't had surgery yet, but my pedometer has become my faithful sidekick. I aim for 10,000 steps or more per day......then when I saw the NUT she said 12,000.

Well, since I have been averaging 8,000-9,000 steps, 10,000 was an accomplishment. I work out on an elliptical machine or treadmill for an hour averaging 3.5 miles per hour and that does NOT get me to 10,000 steps. So, I will have to get faster (more efficient) if 10,000 or 12,000 are the numbers to get to.

Love my fitbit I'd add you as a friend but not sure how

I have a fitbit but I'm scared to use it.. I wiry that its going to tell me " b***h get up off the couch and move!"

I literally got my fitbit 5 minutes ago. Husband ordered it weeks ago but it was on back order! If I figure it out, I will try to friend both of you fitbitters. In the meantime, I have a more regular pedometer keeping track of my steps.
