Just checked my Fitbit for stats since January 1st 2016 and done the following: 3,749,903 steps, 9685 floors, 2,963.15 km, 1,049,051 calories

By my reckoning that's about 135kg in weight, so make sure you eat enough!

2000 miles is loads!!!!! Do you guys really have the time for that? Might track mine for January and see how i get on.

Yeah, but I already do 1800 ish, so not that far. 13000 steps a day ish.

Somewhere on one of the walk 1000 miles groups, I saw someone that had completed over 3600. I literally would not have that much time!

count me in! should we set up a fitbit group or something to track ourselves?

A good idea. Please PM me your email and I will add you as a friend on fitbit.

Others can post their progress on this thread.

Confucius say a journey of 2017 miles begin with a single step. I've knocked off the first two miles already ( there are days when I wished I didn't have dogs:p).

I'm afraid I'm going to hope you trust me on my mileage as my pedometer doesn't link anywhere! If it dies then I'll get a fitness tracker of some sort.

Happy New Year fellow 2000(+) milers!

Of course we trust you. We are not competing against each other, just ourselves.

So far today over 22,500 Nice start to the new year. Most of those steps were done due to the fact I ran 6 miles to a new years day parkrun (3.1miles) then 6 miles back home. Out for a 10 mile hike tomorrow so that should get me ahead of the curve before I go back to work on Tuesday

I know what you mean about the dogs, I am looking after one this weekend and even though I am full of the cold, she doesn't understand this and still demands that I take her out as much as I normally would :eek:
So far today it has already been over 5 miles and still at least 2 walks to go, I'm hoping that they are short ones

Did you really use 1 million calories?

I did 6000 miles cycling in 2015 and according to Garmin connect I used 235,000:D
