Anyone up up for a June walking challenge?

13,279 steps and 81 active minutes for me today - that's more like it. Plus I have lost 2lb since last week!

Walked to Sainsburys this morning instead of taking the car, then walked DD to her swimming lesson (she sometimes leans on me to drive, but didn't today) and instead of watching her swim I went out and walked for half an hour, at my new more brisk pace. So that was good. I'm already starting to get bored of all the routes you can take from our Sports Centre while my DCs do various activities though, it's OK if I have a friend to chat to, but not very interesting walks when by myself. Need to sort out some podcasts on my phone I think.

Can I join too?

Work days are great for me. I have no trouble getting my steps but have to work st my active minutes.

My days off are a disaster I can't get above 5000 without going for a walk, which is ok if it's sunny.

My dc's are starting their summer hols in 3 weeks and I'm already panicing about my steps znd seriously considering a second hand treadmill.

I've lost 8 lb in 3 weeks with my fitness pal and fitbit. I don't want to stop now

I struggle at weekends too, a lot of my steps are school runs, walking DCs to Brownies etc, it's not unusual for me to only get 4-6000 steps on a weekend. Well done on the weightloss Howlong, I lost a stone earlier this year but fell off the wagon around Easter and have now put back on about 4lbs. Am about 4st overweight.

That's better .

I didn't quite manage my 10k yesterday , weirdly I struggle more on the weekend sometimes . I am meeting a friend today for lunch so could be another tricky one . I am going to try and get out for a walk this morning .

I have been doing this for a month now and I have lost 11 pounds (a stone in total), I do have another 3 to go but it is a start .

Yay! Updated App now gives me 52 AMs for today, 63 for yesterday. What a relief, I was beginning to think I must be the world's slowest stroller. Final step total for today 16513.

Might take a while, my phone had about 30 apps with updates due, I don't sync or update it very often.

Me too, had mine for a couple of years. I'm just updating the app to see if that helps.

That's weird , mine says the same thing 34 mins by the way

I have a fitbit one if that makes any odds ?

Well, I'm confused now. Just clicked on the Fitbit website on the computer (I normally use the app on my phone).

Total steps the same on both (and the Fitbit itself). But computer says 52 active minutes, app says 8. Yesterday either 63 or 13. I'm going to read them from the computer in future I think! So that has cheered me up!

Where are the rest of you getting your active minute totals from?

14629 steps and 7 active minutes! I really need to get out on some longer walks. That was 7 walks of 10 mins or so plus a leisurely stroll round the shops this morning.

Morning all , I managed 12533 on thursday with 60 active minutes and 16646 with 76 active minutes . I am really pleased with yesterday , I had an hours unexpected break from work and normally I would sit and read or have a potter round the shops and spend money I don't have but instead I had a really good walk out around a park . I felt so much better for doing it .

The fitbit and reporting in here is really making a big difference . I have lost a stone in about 5 weeks . I was at a friends for dinner last night so not brilliant on the calorie front but back on it today . Off to the gym this afternoon .

14993 for me today plus 13 active minutes. Lots of 10 min walks as usual!

Mutton I'm impressed at your 18,000 yesterday!

Only scraped 10,000 today as we didn't go for a walk as such, just pottered around at home and my mum's house. 52 active minutes - mainly from walking round the garden this evening with DS in the sling trying to get him off to sleep. Feel I should get bonus steps when I'm carrying him around too!

Cider you've got me craving Pimms - I've fancied one for months now but haven't got round to having one since not being pregnant. Might be a job for this weekend: make Pimms.

13,500 today, but cancelled the steps out by eating and drinking loads

So so so in! Marking place to come back later.

Can I join please? 18880 steps 105 active minutes, dog walking gets me sorted for the active minutes as far as I can tell.

I need to keep my weight steady, so I'm trying to move more (so I can eat more )

11,000 ish and 47 active minutes today. Finding the target is really motivating me to get out when I just fancy collapsing on the sofa. Took baby into work today in central London to meet everyone and got home feeling tired but went for a lovely walk in the sun which led to half an hour lying in the park while DS slept in his pram - so nice. Would have missed out on that if I'd stayed home and put my feet up.

Think I might try and do 15,000+ tomorrow. I've not got much on so will give me something to do with myself!

Well, not so good today, snuck over my 12500 step target with 12,576, but still only 8 active minutes and those only achieved by a detour on the way home from the allotment. I am a very slow walker and I was hoping these would motivate me to speed up, but the 10 minute thing is a PITA as I do so many 10 minute or so walks.

Pacing not bloody paving!
