Any recommendations on keeping track of steps



Recommended Posts

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!

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.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
