Melissa, my Omron had an incident (may have included a battery change) but it had corrupted data and I could not download my steps for over 2 months (battery died and I didn't download before changing the thing two weeks after I last downloaded) so any steps I had logged at a different site were used to keep track.

It doesn't hurt to get a little "type a" at times. I have never had this happen before, but when it did, I read up on it and just waited until the corrupted data had "expired" and was able to download. The thing worked correctly and had the 7 day memory. Just lost a few days of data.

Welcome to our growing team! I also have an Omron pedometer which really wasn't that much more than some of the other ones out there that track your calories expended, etc. However, I also keep track of my steps here. If you go to "My Fitness", & select "Change Fitness Goals", it allows you to check a box next to step tracker. This gives me a second place to record my steps & set goals - I'm a little type A & need back ups LOL!

Welcome & can't wait to learn more about you - enjoy our team!!

Welcome!

Go to "Start" from there you have other options to track fitness. At least that is what I remember. I don't track my fitness there.

Hi Everyone!

I found my pedometer today so I finally got to use it today. YEAH! I will be adding it to my daily warbrobe.

It does not count the number of steps I take a day though so I might get a better one as I progress. I do not know where I got this pedometer, but it is a simple cheap one.

Anyhow, I try to walk at least three miles a few days a week (other days I swim), so I am hoping to get a better grasp on what I walk.

I am new to Spark so I am still learning how to use this site. Is there a place I can log in the information that my pedometer gives me at the end of the day?

Thanks!
