fake steps/cheating

[SunsetRunner]

I'm sure I am not the only one sick of the posts/threads/accusations

lets define a step

a step is when you lift the leg up and then put it down

so by that definition, steps done on a exercise bike, cycling, walking, jogging, running even on the spot is a step

a fake step/cheating is when you attach it to say a fan, pet, ride a horse, get someone else to do the steps while you rest etc, those are fake steps/cheating

what about cheating in a challenge?

unless it is stated in the rules that only certain steps are allowed, or certain steps are not allowed, then no one is cheating

for example, if someone was to do their steps in a challenge where no rules were laid down, then they did not cheat, however, if rules were laid down, and they were broken, then yes they have cheated

what about they are fake steps because they are easier?

then what you are saying is that because you did say 10k steps sprinting, then anyone who did 10k steps not sprinting were fake steps/cheating

again, unless it was stated in the rules, then no one is cheating

just because you ran 30k steps, does not mean that the steps done by someone who did not run them were fake/cheating

do you know what it sounds like?

those who run the London/Boston or whatever marathon accusing those who jogged/walked it as cheaters, because the steps they did were easier

so unless I or other people broke the rules in the challenge, then no one did any fake steps or cheated

and I can hand on heart say that neither myself or others in the challenges that I particpate in are doing any fake steps or cheated, or at least I know that I haven't

what about comparing the amount of steps done? just because we did the steps say jogging on the spot, on a exercise bike, and you did them running outside, does not also mean that our steps were fake, yes they might have been easier, but boohoo, life is not fair, get over it, running in say cold weather/country is easier than running in a warm/hot country, does that mean those steps are fake?

not to mention, because you ran them, by your reasoning, someone who sprinted them, they could then call your steps as fake, and you are a cheater, because the steps you did where easier than theirs, how would you feel?

as I said before, I can not leave the house alone, so are you saying that all the people like myself are not allowed to use a fitbit, or join challenges, as our steps are fake steps/cheating?

no device is 100% accurate, regardless of price, whether it has GPS or not etc

so unless you counted your steps yourself, I seriously doubt that 100% of your steps were all walked or even done

even just 1 step step registered that you did not walk, would mean that by your definition are fake step/cheating

I know for a fact that the Zip/One is not 100% accurate, as I have noticed numerous times that it has registered extra steps

and I serious doubt the surge did not falsely register steps whilst cooking, cleaning etc

Wytey,

My faith prevents me from saying what I think about you. In the future, I pray you are blessed with everything you deserve.

tbh I could care less

and likewise

all I am doing is defending myself from your accusations, just like you would if someone were to start accusing you

I am not the one throwing accusations around

unlike you, I will not go as low to saying something like that, everyone is entitled to their opinion, so to say something like that to someone defending themselves, says everything I need to know about you

you may not be a full mod, but your status requires you to be impartial, yet you have clearly taken sides

[GershonSurge]

I'm not a mod of any type. That is your invention.

This  nonsense needs to end. You two will never agree.Please drop it

Its getting old as well as other.

your other account has a plus icon

just like mods

the only difference is that take Helena for example, she has the title of mod you do not, but even so, with the plus icon, one can only assume that you are some sort of mod, because normal users like myself do not have that icon

Wytey,

I can see the reason for your confusion. The plus means that I have a premium account.

Wendy is right. This has gone on long enough. I'm going to focus on my training program.

[SunsetRunner]

I have logged out of the forums to concentrate on my weight loss for a while

But yes I agree, it has gone on too long and the threads should be closed

The main reason for the Fitbit/forum is to lose weight and we should focus on that

I think we've reached a conclusion here, so I'll go ahead and close this thread.
