Carol Don't hurt yourself! Listen your to your body. Don't take too many steps at first or walk too fast. I start my program slowly without hurting my body. Then I increase the steps with 10% per week, but still walking slowly. The key is to build up your energy and strength first, and soon you'll be able to increase your steps and intensity.

I just got my pedometer a couple weeks ago and I’ve been walking a little over a mile. (about 2233 steps) But my ankles KILL me! I have to wear an ace bandage sometimes and I have trouble walking the rest of the day. I weigh 273 and that’s a lot of weight to be carrying. Hopefully it will get easier.

I love to walk and I wish I could do it longer but I fear I’m damaging my ankles. I bought good walking shoes too. So now, I’m thinking of decreasing my distance down to just 1 mile just so my ankles won’t kill me – not sure if I should do that. Any suggestions?

The pedometer is a useful device…keeps one honest in their weight loss regime.

A pedometer is a wonderful idea. For extra motivation, you might consider joining . We currently have 4 members who are measuring the steps…………..:)

It would also work well with your goals for 2008……………=D>

it looks like a watch. They should incorporate it in a watch!
