Today, I lost my Fitbit.

Which isn’t really that surprising, since it was falling apart to the point that I had ordered a replacement pedometer.

Which was not, incidentally, a FitBit.

Why my new pedometer is not going to be a FitBit goes back to a complaint I’d made early on after jumping on the FitBit bandwagon: I paid $100 for a pedometer, and I couldn’t get my own data without paying them an ADDITIONAL yearly subscription.

This annoyed me. So right now, Michael is attempting to get my data for me, via this. (http://citizen-statistician.org/2012/09/30/getting-data-from-fitbit/) Because the thought of having to read and follow instructions was making my hyperventilate.

I’m not sure that the Withings Pedometer I have on pre-order will be better as far as the data goes, but I’m willing to give it a try.

And in the meantime, I found my old Omron Pedometer, replaced the battery and SHAZAM! Working pedometer!

And I grabbed my Omron database from my old computer, and KAPOW! All my old data from the three years I used Omron, right there for me to look out.

But because I love statistics and data so much, here are my Fitbit totals (this is for about a year and a half, from late January 2012 to mid-Jult 2013)

Addendum the First: Michael got my data, so I now have my own copy, with which I can do as I please. So yay!

Addendum the Second: the above totals came from StepStats, which I’d hoped to be more useful in letting me get my data, but wasn’t.
