Tracking Distances



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

I have been working really hard at the gym (both cardio and strength), but now that it is spring in Canada I am hoping to do some more walking outside.

My question is this - Does anyone know of a piece of equipment or a way of tracking the distances I am walking? I cannot get a pedometer to work on me (I don't know if I am lopsided or something, but I can't even get one to be accurate even when I walk around the house trying to calibrate it). When I go on regular streets, I get in my car and check the mileage, but that limits where I walk.

Help me, please :P

Loving me the Nike+ Ipod sensor.

If you already have the new nano(not sure if it works with older models) it will be a great tool for you.

You also DO NOT HAVE to buy the Nike+ specific sneakers. I found this out after buying them...lol.

Marware has a small pouch you buy for less than $10. The sensor kit is $29 or there abouts.

You do, however, need the Ipod.

It is very accurate. It took me several tried to calibrate it. If I go over 5 miles it will be off almost a tenth of a mile. I can live with that right now.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
