Okay I'm probably missing something here but I got a Special K pedometer yesterday and it showed I walked 3km but the steps it showed were only about 1000 which kind of shocked me as I thought that would be at least near 10 000. Then it drove me to work out that to do 10 000 I'd need to do about 30km?! Am I calculating this wrong because that just sounds silly. Also it showed I'd burned about 2000 calories but after converting to kilocalories this came out as 2 calories!! Sorry to drone on but this is annoying me.

Perhaps you should go on one of the Pedometer threads and ask there....

You may accidentally be pressing the reset button. I found that I did that quite a lot with the special K one.
I have now got this one from Argos that has a cover over the bottons and screen, so there is no chance of accidentally reseitting it.
