I am active (run three miles in the morning, work all day, goof around with children in the evening while I do housework but getting above 20000 steps per day seems elusive to me. Help!

Although I consistently average over 10K steps a day, I find 20K a bit more of a commitment than I am ready to make. In the three years I've had a Fitbit, I've only achieved this a handful of times; these were on vacation, with a day spent entirely walking around a city. Wonderful memories of Victoria BC, on a glorious summer day (our 41st wedding anniversary), walking all over this lovely city.

62 Great for you!
I just asked age because to be honest I cannot keep up with a 20 or someone that has been a regular runner all their life or for a long time.
I get 10000 steps a day mostly and to control my weight I have to do 30 minutes of high intensity workout. Walking all day although great does not control my weight.
But you are doing great so good for you, although I have heard that swimming did not count the steps and I was unsure if you could wear the fitbit continous in water. I mean I shower with mine on but have taken it off if in the ocean or pool.

If friends un-friend for that, they aren't friends.. aside it isn't competition. Everyone progresses with exercise.. at their own pace.. gradually building up.. one may just started out, not over-doing.. listening to the body when needing rest..
Everyone is unique and must compare progress with theirself not to someone else.. when feeling getting fitter, stronger, getting more condition, being able to do the same with being less exhausted.. that's progress.. even if going at a slower pace than someone else..
Having fun is important to (but not pushing your body over the limit just cause someone else can do x steps, while personally the best is to reach less steps), but noticing fitness level improves.. regardless of current fitness level.
If the body is asking for rest and not feeling up to exercise on some days, that's fine, take care of your body, regardless if others can be working out on your resting days.. getting more steps in..

In my view, the fitbit does not measure many activities one might engage in like an ellipitical trainer and a stationery bike. It measures walking quite effectively. These numbers you refer to are exactly that. Thus, 20,000 steps has nothing to do with physical improvements such as lower blood pressure, improved resting heart rate, excess post exercise consumption, metabolic improvements, or weight control.

I assume you are indicating the device you specify will provide more correct evaluations which has nothing to do with the premise of 20,000 step in the context I mentioned it. Ever heard of Carol Dellinger with 290 marathons or Gary Krugger who runs 2 marathons a week all year long? At some point, the user should decide, am I improving my health any more with 20,000 steps than 10,000? Anything else becomes competition.

It usally takes me 2.5hrs to get 15-16,500 (10-12km) on my morning walks. After that I get to/above 20,000 by stepping around the house or office. Its taken a while to maintain it, but its getting better everyday.

This is exactly what I commented on as to counting. Your exercise endeavors are much more profound and add far more value than a number with NO significance. Where do reside?

That should have said-where do you reside? I think you exemplify behaviors that are well thought out and valuable!
