Ever Lost A Pedometer

This Sparked Me!

I have worn a pedometer faithfully for over a year now to log my steps. When I first started wearing one, it got knocked off my pants waistband a couple of times and one time I lost it that way. So then I started clipping it to the waistband of my underwear instead of outside. Now I haven't had that happen anymore. My pants or skirt keeps it from getting knocked off accidentally.

    I make a loop with it (the little attached cord that comes with most pedometers) on my belt loop or even my underwear if I am wearing sweats. Sometimes I look down and see my pedometer dangling from the string because it fell off the clip, so I know I would have lost it long ago if I didn't loop it everytime:)

    I WEAR MY PEDOMETER 24/7. IT WORKS FOR ME. YES, I HAVE LOST A PEDOMETER TO THE TOILET AND A FRIEND'S BACKYARD IN ENGLAND.
THE PEDOMETER I HAVE NOW HAS A SAFETY CLIP AND YES, I CLIP IT TO MY UNDERWEAR.
