My fitbit clocks up some steps when I am driving (I do a lot of driving) so maybe you will still be 'walking' when you are 'flying' and still be ahead! I am a long way behind you in steps, I did lose my charger for a week so that's my excuse:o;)
Well done on the weight loss.:)Save £10,500 - £2673.77 - 25.5%
