What pedometer app do you ladies recommend? I used map my walk yesterday but it doesn't track steps.

I don't use an app for steps either. For your walk, you can divide the distance by your average stride length to approximate the number of steps. But that doesn't help you track steps throughout the day if that's your goal.

I'd have to Google to find recommendations.

I wish I knew of one...maybe Runkeeper or My Fitness Pal? Not sure if either of those track steps. I have a Fitbit.

penguin129 I just ordered a new Fitbit, would you like my old one? It's about a year old. It's a Charge HR. It works perfectly fine, I ordered the Charge 2 b/c it tracks all kinds of activity and not just walking/running.

Oh my gosh! Are you serious?! So it does the steps? That would be so perfect. I would love to be able to track my steps and not have to make my phone mutli-task. It is pretty big and bulky. Do you want anything for it?

Using something like my.fitness.pal to track mileage might make more sense?  My understanding is that pedometer aps on a phone are often no better than a WAG (wild ass guess).

I used map my walk last night. It tracked my route, pace, how long I was walking, and something else, but not steps. I wanted the step count.

And Plus Also... I've never heard of WAG. That is perfect! Made me laugh

Seriously, you can have it...no money. I actually got the other one today in the mail! So I won't be using it, and I'd rather it be put to use than not! I don't have any of the manuals or anything but it is pretty easy to use - you can just download the fitbit app and it will pretty much do everything for you! If you PM me your info I will get it in the mail to you early next week.

ksyknelvr73 You're a lifesaver. I looked at the pedometers on Walmarts website and they got really bad reviews. Even though they were only $5 I didn't want to waste the money. You're awesome. I'll PM you

Does anyone have the FitBit Blaze?

I'm thinking of getting. I have the HR right now.

becole and ksyknelvr73, could you guys add me back into the M14 and O16 Fitbit challenges. I lost my fitbit for 2 weeks and just found it....I'm also blaming DD. Thanks!

I'm not in them
If they're doing them. My Fitbit broke. I got a replacement but I'm not in any challenges. I can start one though.

I don't think we are doing any right now, or at least I haven't. I will set a new one up for next week if you want? And anyone I am missing maybe you and becole could help me add them back in.
