Great job!!!

Are you tying it to your shoe? To me that is the most reliable spot. If it's on your hip it doesn't calculate as much activity. Every little bit counts!

Thanks for the tip. I've been putting it on my hip but the shoe does make more sense.

What were you doing to get that many steps before your kids were awake?? LOL

I always put mine on my hip but have problems with it resetting itself when I lean against the counter or something. I don't know if I want to wear shoes in the house, though.

I have the hip problem also when I've worn them to work in the past. Can't really hook it onto high heels, so I've put one on my waistband before, and then had it jiggle and reset in the middle of the day. I was going to get a new one over lunch today, but didn't make it there. Maybe if I get a nicer one hopefully I won't have the same problem.

You can also put it on your pocket...facing in. I kept resetting mine (I broke the one with the cover) so that's what I do, and I do a test run (put it on, walk 10 steaps and make sure it got them) in the AM when I first put it on to make sure it's okay there.

YOU know I had the freebie from McDonald's with a cover. That was the best pedometer I ever had. Wonder where that is....
