[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With most everything else being the same? I love my Fitbit and am wondering when my body will start reacting to a constant daily step total of about 12,000+ steps. I realize it will likely be a slooooow process but any ideas?[/quote]

It depends on so many things. If I were you, I would pick several different metrics to measure against. Weight and body measurements, fine. But also energy level. Whether stairs come more easily (if doing more stairs is part of your effort to increase steps). How long you can walk at one go before feeling fatigued. How easy it is to knock out those last 500, 1000 or even more steps at the end of the day before you hit your goal.

For me, I often have to look back at my stats. I will notice I'm doing more sets of stairs even if I didn't plan to. That I'm making my steps earlier in the day and not having to catch up at the end of the day. That I miss it if I don't get my lunch time walk. Some of these things I notice pretty quickly - I found I was hitting my numbers earlier in the day within about a week. I also found that I wasn't dragging if I had to do a catch up walk of 1000 steps.

If you're looking for visual physical changes like lost weight or tighter buttocks, unless you're really out of shape it's going to be a while. Walking is excellent life long exercise but it's definitely on the slow and steady side of weight loss.[/quote]
