I'm stepping the pounds off!

I'm stepping the pounds off! This book has great information on energy balance both for loosing weight and for maintaining weight.

The pedomenter included in the book is very motivational! On days I have walked a lot of steps (12,000 to 18,000) it feels real good and gives me a great sense of accomplishment. On days that I have not gotten in many steps (4,000 to 5,000) it motivates me to take an evening walk around the neighborhood. I'm down six pounds in six weeks!

I thought this book was so great I sent my mother a copy too! Mom has lost five pounds in less than a month.

Simple and motivating

This book is very motivating. I wear a counter (included with the book) to count my steps daily. After several weeks, I've determined that I can commit to achieveing 15,000 steps a day (their minimum is 10,000). This book gives me a good understanding of what it takes to balance food intake with energy burned. I've lost about 10 pounds so far, with 10 more to go.

Great book - May help you realize why you haven't been losing weight

This book has really opened my eyes up to one thing...why I hadn't lost weight. I've been dieting since I had my son but hit a plateu. I hadn't been exercising regularly and with a long commute to work 3 hours round trip) and then sitting at a desk all day, I wore the pedometer before trying anything in the book to see how many steps I was getting before making a conscious effort. I was shocked to learn that I had only been taking 1500-2500 steps a day, on days I worked. Days I didn't work I averaged more around 5-6,000. Still that wasn't very good since the book gives you a minimum of 10,000 a day.

I am now usually at about 12,000 a day, depending on the day. I am incredibly motivated because I am competitive with myself and how many steps I can get in a day. I go walking 2 miles with my dog which is about 4,500 steps and make sure I am active throughout the day at work or at the store etc. I have only lost a few pounds so far, but my clothes are looser and I feel thinner.

I am loving the stepometer and am going to invest in a better one. It was a great starter and I found it to be pretty accurate, just very basic.
