Re: Pedometer challenge
I think your supposed to aim for 10,00 steps a day for weight loss.
I tried wearing a pedometer, but I was always forgetting to put it on the morning before work, which is when i used to do a decent amount of picking up, making lunch etc.

Is it 10,000? or 5,000? Either way, I htink it adds up to 5 miles. And the point is to keep walking (even just around the house or up and down the stairs) until you hit the target.
ETS: I want to add that if you always walk let's say 10,000 steps a day, then it's not going to help one bit. You have to do more than what you normally do in order to have any kind of benefit. Before I started working out, I passed the daily recommendation by late afternoon. So ifyou walk a lot to begin with, you have to step it up a notch.

Me too. I'd love to take part, especially since I live in NYC where it's so easy to walk. Anyone know where I can go to buy a pedometer? I'd rather not have to wait for one I order online.

Re: Pedometer challenge
anyone notice that their pedometer is super sensitive? 
Mine cannot be adjusted and I put it on at my desk this morning, took a *few* steps here and there, when I left the office about 1/2 hr later I had 300 steps on it!

Re: Pedometer challenge
Just got out of the shower...today I took 15051 steps.
I did my normal walks, but having it on made me walk more while the boys played...I usually chat with the other moms and stand still, today I was walking around the little park, kicking balls, playing follow the leader...
did 1/2 TaeBo taped while they napped.
