I now weigh about 290 after over 130# loss and just bought my first smart phone (low tech old timer who loved his flip phone) and found it has a step monitor. Can anyone share their goals of steps per day? I also swim, do heavy gardening, and some treadmill time.

THANKS!

I aim for 10000 a day. some days I get there, some I don't.

I use mapmywalk and enter in other kinds of work outs, gardening if it is heavy work treadmill, swimming to get some idea if I am getting in enough calories. I think a lot more people use myfitnesspal. I would change, because I would like to have friends on that app, but I already have so much info at mapmywalk, that I don't want to move over. This way I know distance, calorie estimate, number of workouts, etc more than just steps taken.

Map my run syncs with my fitness pal I'm sure map my walk does too! Then you only have to enter it once and it moves it onto my fitness pal.

I have a Jawbone Up that I love. I aim for 10,000 steps a day and I'm incredibly competitive with myself. If I don't make my steps during the day I head outside and walk laps around the pool. My husband knows where to find me at 11:30 pm if the dog is sitting by the back door... He usually opens the door and yells out something along the lines of "you are insane thank god the neighbors can't see you goodnight watch out for raccoons the dog and I are going to bed!"

I often walk in my pajamas so I so I guess he has a point about the neighbors.

Did I mention I sing?

But I get those steps DONE!
