Fitbit/Pedometer Help! Pls

Hello everyone so I got a fitbit today but don't know how many steps should I really. Be take in a day this is probably a stupid question Sorry!

Hi Leeann,

I aim for 10000 steps a day, sometimes I don't get there but most days I go over that.

Feel free to add me as a fitbit friend, my ID is 24RCF3.

At this point, because I work in an office and I'm here late a lot, I'm aiming for 5000 - which is WAY under what I should be walking, I know. I'm a work in progress! :)

Eventually, I want to work up to 10,000, and after surgery my goal will be around 15,000.

Feel free to add me as well: http://www.fitbit.com/user/26LWH2 :)

5000 pre op sounds pretty good to me. I would have had trouble with that much.

Well in truth, I'm working my way up to it. ;) I had 3429 yesterday, so I know I need to make more little changes - taking the stairs when I can, etc. :)

I'll get there!

I was usually at around 3500 steps pre-op. I have my Fitbit on for the first time today post-op. Let's see what I can do!! Honestly, if I break 4000 I'll be thrilled. That's my first goal.

I work at a desk also and I'm 14 months post op.  I aim for 7000 steps and most days I make it but I walk 5 km every day whi*****ludes back and forth to work.

I love my fitbit and haven't missed a day since August 22 last year.  same with my fitness pal.

FitBit's first goal 'badge' is 5,000 steps.  You can set new goals as you achieve them.

Be sure to calculate your stride length (google how to do this) and enter the number in your settings in your fit bit.

If you don't enter your stride length it will default to 0 and you will be logging more steps than you actually take.  This would then have inaccurate information reflected in your dashboard for number of steps, active minutes and calories burned.  Best to be accurate to gauge your progress.
