Any recommendations on keeping track of steps

I was wondering what kind of pedometer everyone uses and what they think of it. Second, if it is not to personal, how much did it cost?

the Fitbit ($86-155 on amazon.com there's 3-4 different kinds) is a really cool device. Tracks not only steps but fluids, protein, exercise, weights, sleep time and how good it was; plus other things. That info wirelessly to your computer or smartphone app called (myfitnesspal). I just bought one for my husband for father's day. He hasn't started using it since he out of town and didn't have time to set it up but I plan to get me one prior to my surgery on the 3rd. Also, if you go to amazon.com and search fitbit; you can read all the reviews and info on each individual item to choose the one you like the most.

hope this helps!

I have fitbit flex and LOVE IT!, it costs 99 dlls. Go to www.fitbit.com you can also buy at Best Buy, that is where I got mine.

there us an app for that. iphone has an app that when u walk or run with ur phone it will keep track of ur steps etc.

There's an app called Striiv and I think it's free. It was when I got it. You can link it to your myfitnesspal and it deducts the calories burned for your diary. You can like the fb page and add friends and there are daily challenges and walking games that you play with your friends. It's pretty cool.

I will say sometimes it fails to synch but it seems to be a software issue on their end every time they try to upgrade. They just have to Iron out the bugs.
