Elizabeth L asked:
I’m slowly getting back into weight loss and I was thinking about wearing a pedometer. How many steps a day would I have to take to make a difference in my weight loss regiment? Also where is best place to put it on your body because at my hip and it goes nuts and says 19 steps after about 4.

Weight loss is mostly diet. You can take 10,000 steps, but if you eat a box of donuts after, you won’t lose weight.
Fix your diet and you’ll lose weight, simple as that. exercise obviously help, but diet is key. Also, unless your fitness level is so low that all you can do is walk, there are much better things to do to lose weight. Look into high(er) intensity work out, and possibly weight lifting, both will produce much better results than walking with equal amount of time spent.
