No I don&#x27;t mind, I am 35. I was about 170 lb before I got into Fitbit about 3 years ago. I gained 15 lb chasing 10k steps. It might be metabolic change. But last year I stopped using Fitbit and switched to Polar watch with HRM. I am down to 177 lb now. My RHR has always been around 55bpm, it didn&#x27;t really change when I cut out gym.<p>The thing is that I really believed in 10K steps being enough to stay healthy. So I gave up weights &amp; running which I did not do out of joy but as something that you do. If they invent once a month toothpaste, I will switch to it. If I don&#x27;t have to run and get sweaty, then I am all for it.<p>10K steps was easy for me. Before Fitbit, I might get 4-5K steps without any effort. After Fitbit I started going on longer dog walks (3-4K steps). Started doing house chores in the most inefficient manners (1-2K). I would walk around office a lot (3-5K). If I was still short at the end of day, I will watch TV while stepping in a place. On weekends, I preferred hiking to swimming.<p>I can see how extra 5K steps a day didn&#x27;t require any significant effort for me. So it would have made no difference for me. I can see from this thread that many people struggle with that so it makes sense for them to hit 10K steps goal.
