FITBIT STATS

IT’S BEEN EXACTLY ONE YEAR SINCE I STARTED CARRYING MY FITBIT IN MY POCKET EVERYDAY. MY GOAL WAS WEIGHT LOSS, AND I LOST THE 40 POUNDS IN ABOUT SEVEN MONTHS.

ALONG WITH THE PEDOMETER YOU GET THE FITBIT SOFTWARE WHERE YOU CAN TRACK MANY THINGS, INCLUDING CALORIES, SLEEP, WATER, EXERCIZE, AND OF COURSE STEPS.

ANOTHER FUN FEATURE IS THE “FRIENDS” OPTION WHERE YOU ARE CONNECTED TO EACH OTHER THROUGH THE FITBIT SOFTWARE. YOU CAN SEE EACH OTHERS STEP COUNT FOR THE LAST SEVEN DAYS, CHALLENGE EACH OTHER TO STEP COUNT CONTEST, SEND EACH OTHER NOTES AND ENCOURAGEMENTS, AND FITBIT AWARDS YOU DIFFERENT DIGITAL MERIT BADGES. MY “FRIENDS” LISTS INCLUDES MY THREE GRANDSONS WHO LIVE IN HAWAII.

OK HERE COMES THE BIG NUMBER, 4,324,115 STEPS IN A YEAR. THAT’S 2,034 MILES. THAT’S AN AVERAGE OF 11,847 STEPS A DAY, OR JUST OVER 5 MILES A DAY.

THERE IS SOME SERIOUS STEPPAGE GOING ON OUT THERE !!!
