In an earlier post, I encouraged people to get themselves a Fitbit. Having just received my weekly progress report via email, I can see that wearing a pedometer can bring about very positive results.For example, in 2007, Stanford researchers took the bird's-eye view, gathered up 26 different studies and summarized the results in a paper published in The Journal of the American Medical Association. Their synopsis showed that, at least in studies, pedometer users walk more than 2,000 additional steps each day than nonusers, and their overall physical activity levels
increase by 27%.

In my case, I just had my best week ever: 108,000 steps, 51 miles (80 km), and 25,000 calories burned over just one week. In addition, I went to the gym for workout with weights three times.
I really feel that I am on track to lose the fat that I have accumulated over the years. The challenge is to keep up this level of effort. Certainly, receiving a weekly progress report lets me know how I am doing.
