Today’s trivial Q&A: Where can I get a weight loss tracker for me?

  • Q: Where can I get a weight loss tracker for me? What do you recommend?
  • A: Well…it’s been a while since I used a tracker or ticker, but I am pretty happy with tickerfactory dot com. If you wanted to track your walking steps using pedometers like Omron hj 112 pedometer, you may try walkertracker dot com.

Today I walked 11,625 steps, per my Omron hj 112 pedometer

Now my Omron HJ-112 Pedometer shows 11,625 steps. Wow!
I did not expect what fun it gave me with pedometers like Omron hj 112 pedometer. It makes my weight loss experience fun and, more accountable.

  • It makes my weight loss process to be more specific, now to me, weight loss to me is just 10,000 steps, period. No more fancy medications or drugs, books. Just walk 10,000 steps a day.
  • Make myself more accountable about my weight loss goal. I told all my family and friends that I have to walk 10,000 steps a day and if they catch me any day that I have not walked those many steps I’ll give them $20.
  • Pedometers make weight loss more fun and it also calculates all steps you have run/walked which make you feel that every step counts. That also means any exercises are good for you. So by keep exercising you get more readings from the paneland at the end of the day, it gives the total automatically.
  • Without pedometers, you may not be able to quantify and make your weight loss precess more specific. Like now, I can try to walk twice at work one in the morning, one at lunch time. Then walk after dinner with the family. Not just that, my pedometer also count every step I walk from my cube to the printer/kitchen in office, and go up/downstairs at home. I am also encouraged to “go extra miles” to get something for others, and “walking/dancing” (at the same place) while listening to the music or TV at home.

So if you are not having fun on your weight loss, or thinking losing weight is boring and tedious, why change something with your way of doing things. Sometimes even if a small change could give you brand new way of thinking and get you more motivated. That is my experience with my Omron pedometer. Other pedometers can do just the same and you may just pick any pedometer you like as long as they can accurately calculate the numbers of steps you have been walking or running.

Goal: 10,000 steps a day with help of Omron HJ 112 pedometer

Last Thursday (three days ago, June 25) I bought a new battery for my Omron HJ 112 pedometer. I have used this pedometer for a long time but stop using it since it ran out of battery. The result? I gained 10 pounds and growing. Two days ago started using it and made up my mind to use it to help controling my weight.
My goal: 10,000 steps a day. Simple and easy.
Friday I walked over 11,000 steps, weighs 162.5 pounds;
Saturday, I wlaked over 10,700 steps.
Today I’ll walk at least 10,000 steps.
I found out if I walked all around my sub-division it is about 1,700 steps. I calculated it twice yesterday. But somehow on Friday my impression is it is just 1,200 steps. Anyhow, I am still surprised that it is only 1,700 steps if I walk around my subdivision since it is really a LONG walk!
I started to use my Omron HJ-112 Digital Pocket Pedometer because years ago at my work we started a “Walk across America” campaign. Our colleagues started discussing which is the best pedometer at the beginning, and the concensus is Omron HJ-112 Digital Pocket Pedometer. It was later becoming our “official” pedometer to be used in our contest. During the campaign, each of us enters the number of steps and finally we ran the total for each team, which was really fun.
I have to say, my colleages and I really liked this pedometer. It is one of the best investments if you think your health is your most important asset. How much is it for an Omron HJ-112 Digital Pocket Pedometer? About $20 bucks. A bargain for a fun filled weight control activity.
