Not quite a stepometer, but many many years ago I used to have one of those sort of resistance step things, do you know what I mean? I'm not talking about a little plastic platform type thing that you step on to and off again. This was something that you stood on and used pressure to push each separate foot platform down. (I'm drawing pictures in the air here, hope they help)
Aaaanyway, I realised I wasn't exactly taking it seriously when I took it in to the sitting room while the supper was cooking so that I could use it while watching Eastenders (for the record, I haven't watched Eastenders for over 8 years!). It wasn't the watching T.V that alerted me to the fact that my approach to my exercise regime wasn't exactly sound, it was more the fact that I had a glass of wine in one hand, and a cigarette in the other. 
I'm actually wearing one now! I've done over 4.000 steps today just popping to the doctors and going into work and back - neither is very far away, so it just shows. DH does 1000s every day. He makes far more effort than I do. I must say that using one shows me how little I do on a daily basis - usually less than 1000! - and therefore I should make more effort. It would do me more good than going to a gym - as long as there are loos en route of course 
We've all had those moments haven't we?!! 
like it, and she was only telling the truth!!!
Easy mistake to make!
My mum's old step counter had broke..so quite a few weeks ago I bought her a new one from JJB (£4-99) just a simple one....

" I used my stepometer today, I put it on when I went out with your dad in car "!!!!! and we walked round the "Range local DIY store" then I did such n such a thing!! etc I said oh thats good....she said I did 7,000 steps!! I thought hmmm lost of steps there to say they went in car....anyway coiple of days went by and she text me and said....guess what?? I 've done another 7,000 steps today!! I said well thats a coincedence isn't it? later on in the day a thought struck me! lol lol...I txt my mum and said...."Did you take the clear sticker off the front " ?
"need I say more!!!!"
