I do but never sure I have it clipped it in the right spot. Someone I work with just puts hers in her pocket. Where do you put yours? Or going 2...

| I am just going to stick it in my pocket, But it does have a clip so I guess I could clip it to my belt.... it was really inexpensive(well the one I got) it cost $4.20 w/ tax.. it was on sale at kmart.. its a simple bally pedometer.. just counts step and has some light for safety or whatever...hope its ok.. I just wanted to check steps...lol.... do u clip yours? ETA: I think it just has to be clipped upright .... |

Well I read somewhere that you are supposed to clip it by the middle of your waist or as close as you can. I clip it but it comes off a lot because of me sitting, fidgeting, up and down.... so I am going to try sticking it in my pocket. I have a WW pedo and one that I got from Avon. They asked me NOT to bring the one I got at Avon at work because it has an alarm on it..... and well... the lil cord came out and it was oh so very loud!!!!!

| The little clip on ones I bought before didn't work right. I tried it out and counted my steps but a bit and it never was accurate. Has anyone tried that? Have you found one that's really accurate? |

you know the one I got clicks for any reason at all.. you can jiggle it and it will click... even while driving..so I am wondering if maybe I should return it and get a better one? Hubby says they will all be like that because they are not made for everyday use just for walking? I dunno... hope someone with more experience can answer this for us.... | |
