From what I can gather from my own experiences, you would need to walk for about 2 hours a day.

Just ordered one. It wouldn't let me last night.

When it asked for my name I put Lord!

I do walk fast. :) I would expect to cover six or seven miles in two hours.

That's not fast, average walking pace is regarded as 3.3 mph. :)

Well, that's a relief. Mrs T is always telling me to slow down. That means she's a slow walker :D

Is it just me that thinks it somewhat ironic that the two companies (Walkers and McDonalds) who are giving these gadgets away are probably the two who pump more fat into this nation's population than most others?

No, it is precisely because they pump so much fat into the population that they are doing this. They are trying to improve their image (without necessarily doing something about the problem)

10,000 a day is nothing! I walk to work and walk home again and do the same at lunch times and thats 7,000 for me in something like 50 minutes

Why don't they just sell stuff with less fat in? That would do some REAL good.

Apparently there is a backlog - but they are taking steps to deal with it.
