This is super helpful information about the MisFit. I always thought 10,000 steps would be easy to achieve, but I'm betting it's harder than I realize, too, since I spend so much time sitting at a computer every day. I'm really glad to hear it's inspired you to hit your goals every day!emmers712https://www.blogger.com/profile/15865493476823978890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930457134828005115.post-21420356435163559042016-05-02T11:14:48.651-04:002016-05-02T11:14:48.651-04:00I've had a Fitbit for over a year, and I love ...I've had a Fitbit for over a year, and I love it! Like everybody else, I didn't realize how much sitting I did. <br /><br />What are the prices for the fitness challenge? I think I'm going to suggest something like that to the company I work for, and hope it will motive others to move more! <br /><br />Anahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16110855725544210793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930457134828005115.post-26584744880376664472016-05-01T08:48:09.588-04:002016-05-01T08:48:09.588-04:00Right now I'm doing a challenge with my work b...Right now I'm doing a challenge with my work but Misfit does have a "community" that you can be a part of that I assume you can participate in other challenges.Fairytales and Fitnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11771224209536216240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930457134828005115.post-24586373798093032422016-05-01T08:39:44.289-04:002016-05-01T08:39:44.289-04:00I used to wear a FitBit and when I first got it, I...I used to wear a FitBit and when I first got it, I thought it would be easy to get 10,000 steps too. I was teaching then and thought I walked way more than that. Turns out, I just stood on my feet A LOT ;) I like my Apple watch but miss the FitBit friendly challenges.

Although actually I don't think that would work.<br /><br />I don't have a fitbit. That's why when I got a new Garmin, I chose the vivoactive -- it's a garmin & fitness tracker all rolled into one. And a lot more. I chose it over the 235 because I can swim with it (not that I've swum recently).<br /><br />I don't sweat the days that I don't get to 10,000. Most of the time, unless I'm traveling, I get pretty close. Having a dog to walk helps a lot! And my average daily steps per week are 13 - 15k (remember, I don't work in an office!).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930457134828005115.post-66151768317457258392016-04-30T06:52:25.983-04:002016-04-30T06:52:25.983-04:00I just recently got the Fitbit Alta even though I ...I just recently got the Fitbit Alta even though I had previously thought it was so unnecessary.
