Interesting info so far on Pacer. I counted about 100 steps just walking around inside the house for normal activities and it seems accurate (checked it before taking the steps and again after). I did go to the grocery store but only for a couple of specific items and didn't wander the aisles. I am up to 1683 since I installed it around 10 am. I would have guessed lower. I am not sure when it "checks in" with mfp or how it is used. I will just let it continue to run and see what happens. If I am tracking every step and letting it post automatically, I will probably have to adjust my base. Not by much; incidental walking is probably only 20 calories per 1000 but I suspect I will get more logged. I would rather adjust the base than keep editing the burn. One concern I have is if it posts late at night, how do you deal with long walks? Hopefully it does something practical.
