Put mine on my belt after I got dressed this morning, about 11 o'clock ... now nearly 7pm and I'm on 3,426. Not very healthy, am I? :disturbd:

The worrying thing is, I'd have been quite pleased about my level of activity today otherwise - we went to a National Trust house and wandered round that, and the gardens.

Well I could never see how anyone could do 10,000 steps in a day unless they are going for a 5 mile run in addition to working,playing,housework and all the minutae of a typical day.
I reckon those who said they had done 5000 steps have calibrated theirs wrongly because try as I may I could never get more than 2000 steps day with my WW one.It's a good one that I BOUGHT and have now lost accidently on purpose because I became enslaved to it. :disturbd:

I was about to order one, then I saw the "winners" promo thing, and I ordered one in the name of my mate instead :D

Well I have done precisely 0 (zero) steps with mine, the kids nicked it and I have seen bugger all of it since. :shrug:

Humf. I was going to order a few more but it knows my IP address :( I'll have to nip on the Net at work when no one's looking.

I predict that most of you will have thrown them in a drawer by the end of the month.Mind you may well have to ferret them out for the New Year. ;)

I tried various proxies - no joy :( It must see my IP address rather than the proxy :shrug:

If you want PM your details over and I'll use one of my 'other' connections, or try a free dialup, if you have a modem connected ;)

Re: Free walk-o-meter
 
It works now :erm: Very strange :shrug: It'll be interesting to see how far I walk. It's about a ten minute walk to/from the bus stop from/to work. I'm always up and down stairs - my PC is upstairs. I walk to my mate's house maybe 3 or 4 times a week - about a five minute walk. Then there's the walk to/from the bus stop from/to my parents - about ten minutes. Oh and shopping at Tesco. I reckon I can do the 10,000 easy.

:idea: I can see someone with too much time on their hands building a web site for the Cable Forum Walk-0-Meter team league table scores. :D

Oh sorry that person wouldn't do very well with their own score as instead of walking they'd be stuck in front of a keyboard. :dozey:

Well, I managed 5,380 yesterday, and that was with a nice long walk at lunchtime. Anyone know how many steps is considered 'healthy'? I must admit, I thought I'd done rather better than this, it was a very long walk.
