My steps Topic

I don’t know if this is cheating but I have my phone in my pocket through out the day and it tracks my steps which is what I want , but I hit 11,708 steps because I had it in my pocket all day and I did do a lot of moving around but I feel like that’s cheating on my steps even though I was moving through out the day. Is it cheating carrying my phone in my pocket to get all my steps in. I don’t know if that makes sense.

Definitely not cheating. You need a Fitbit or Apple Watch or some kind of step counter to track your steps. I have an Apple Watch & I love it!

I don’t think that’s cheating at all. It’s helping track your steps, which is exactly what the smart watches all do.

I would agree with everyone else that it isn’t cheating. I do the same thing. I know it’s not very accurate but it gives me a general idea on how much movement I have day to day.

Hi Dangerkitty- Strong work on your steps!
How does your body feel today? Can you move that amount on a regular basis? When it comes to tracking steps, calories, grams of saturated fat, etc it is all about looking for patterns. Consistency is your friend when it comes to losing weight. Tracking is a powerful tool! Best, Joanna (MyNetDiary Dietitian)
