When I use my pedomoter it is awesome. I set a goal to get into 10,000 steps a day and if I got those steps in and watching my eating - I lost weight like nothing. (maybe I should do that again!)
Anyway, I have the
Omron HJ-112 - it just a pedometer thought. It does show steps, calories, aerobic steps and distance though - keeps a record for 7 days. For $25 it was worth every penny. It is one the top rated pedometers out there, according to all the reviews I found online. I love that it works from my pocket, I just tuck it in there and the morning and no one every knows. It is very very accurate.
We did a group on another forum I belong too (a dog forum) and it was 6 weeks long - and everyday was supposed to aim for 10,000 steps a day - it was a lot of fun. 99% of us were using that pedometer and walkertracker.com to keep a diary of it all.
