I have been using the Garmin Vivo...it counts my steps..well it give me a goal and then the steps count backwards until I make the goal then it goes forward. I have had it for two weeks now and it has really helped me alot to get modivated. What I have found is I get 0 exercise quilting and sewing..so I try to take a break and walk around the house and then the block a few times. My husband has been great, he will walk with me around the block...he never did before this...but he knows I have a daily goal. I highly recommend it if you need modivation. Also I have lost inches but only a few pounds on the scale. I now got rid of the scale...muscle weighs more than fat. Good luck to all with your journey.
