Do you really need 10,000 steps a day?

We should not dismiss products as Fitbits as being ineffective just because maybe 10k steps is not a valid metric. A little competition and settings of goals is good for everyone.

I agree.

As someone currently losing weight, my fitbit is pretty invaluable to me. I track every single thing I eat and drink. My fitbit then automatically tracks my walking/ running, and subtracts those calories I burn from the food tracker.

Even an inaccurate Google Fit notification about how much I've walked made me feel better and willing to do more and more regularly.
