I have been waering a sportline pedometer for a year now and mine works fine.

The way to waer it is on the waistband with the clip inside and the pedometer facing outside, so it doesnt get ruined by sweat. Make sure you have a snug waistban, so that it is accurately able to calculate the distance and calories.

Also, you would need to set up your stride length and weight to make the pedometer give correct results. I think your may be on the preset numbers and hence not very accurate for you.

On an average I notice for for 1000 steps, i burn 30-35 calories. My weight is 135 lbs and stride length 2 feet.

Hope this helps.

There are no chances of me being pregnant because we havent had sex at all this month. So doesnt look like pregnancy. In 20 years of my periods they have always been on the dot on between 27 and 29 days except the time when I was pregnant with my first kid (lol). and now its already 33 days since my lmp. I am going to see my gynae this weekend. Lets see what happens.

I have the same question, sorry cannot give answers. I would like to know that since I have set my activity leve to Lightly active, should I be logging my Pedometer calories burnt as well, or would they be covered in my activity calories of 1800. Also, should I just be logging my gym calories?

Thanks a lot for all the advice. I will set up an appointment with my gynae for this weekend. I am getting all the symptoms of pregnancy like nausea and all so it looks like the case. But since I tried 3 different tests from 3 different company and all came negative am not too sure if any celebrations are premature. Thanks again.

Thanks looriec and girlafraid7. I agree its an emotional journey. Sometimes I blame myself for leaving trying for my 2nd kid for so long because I was busy building a career. Though I am 31 and have regular cycles, we had not really been charting my ovulation and just going by the 12-16 day window. Now having read on a lot of sites like babycenter.com and yourdays.com, I realise that my ovulation is more like 15-16 day and all this while we would be exhausted after trying the 12/14th day ;). So this month we have timed it more correctly and lets see.

Thanks everyone for sharing stuff, makes me feel more hopeful.

I have been a vegetarian since May 1, 200.

I have not had a single soda since Dec 31, 2007

I have lost 11 lbs and kept them off.

I havent binged even one day since I started eating healthy.

I drink at least 10 glasses of water everyday since Dec 31, 2008.

I feel energised after 1 hr of work out in the gym and love walking back home after it.

I feel i am now the healthist I have ever been in my life.

hi curalium,

 I have been hovering between 135 and 137 for the past 2 weeks and am now beginning to feel really frustrated. I watch my calories between 1400-1500 a day, exercise 2-3 times a week burning 1000 cal a week but nothing seems to be making a difference. Then i thought maybe it was PMS but now my period is gone and am still at 135. So yeah it can get really frustrtaing and noone is commenting on my looking thinner :(( so thats worse.

Well, i intend to continue with this routine for another week or 2 and then reevelaute again. I just wanna go below 134 once at least.

On also forgot to add, my burnmeter says I burn 1900 a day, so that a deficit of 3800 calc per week. What is your deficit a week coming to? 

Yeah, I am experiencing the same thing, this 1 lb, i lose it one day I gain it back 2-3 days later, then i lose again and gain again. Has been going on for 2 weeks now and is totally frustrating me. and this is on top of eating at least 400 cal deficit per day and exercising 2-3 days a week. So i guess at one point the weight loss does slow down and maybe one does end up gaining more muscle mass.

Thanks feanor!! Some of these are good never thought of having one or 2 kisses.. always end up devoruing 10-12. I like having something really sweet like Indian sweets that are loaded with butter and sugar like groundnut sugar cubes.
