Question Pedometer & Fit Day

I got yet another free pedometer in the mail. I kinda like this one because it shows fat grams burned. I don't wear it when I do my aerobics but I do put it on my waistband and wear it all day.

I want to put my steps into Fit Day. I know they don't have an area for steps. However, it also show me miles. I'd like to enter those as just casual type walking with no time. I must be blind or stupid or something. I can't. It wants a time.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Sorry, if I knew fitday better, I'd help. Hope you find the answer.

Thanks. It's just that I'm trying to add more walking and I'd like to account for it. It's walking that I'm doing all day, so I don't want to say that I walked 2 miles and it took me 8 hours.

Well, how long does it usually take you to walk a mile? Maybe you could take the amount of miles you have on the pedometer and make the difference on fit day. Like, if you take 15 minutes to walk a mile, and you end up with 2 miles on your pedometer, you could say you walked 30 minutes...?

I guess. I'll take the slowest time. They have it without MPH but they won't calculate it with just miles and no time.

Mare, I use Fitday, and I can't really see how to do it the way you want. Do you have PC Fitday or the online version? If you have the PC version (maybe even the online, I can't remember), maybe you can just enter it in the diary section, just to track the number of steps. But if you are actually wanting to track the calories burned from this, that won't help you....

I believe 2000 steps is around a mile. If you use the pc version, you have to enter time OR distance. So you can enter it into Fitday that way. But it won't track the calories burned without a time. I think that is what you are trying to do.
