Every new fit it I have used came with a lot of steps "out of the box". (Maybe they counted steps while in shipping?)

Is it possible that you set yours up so late in the evening that the "out of the box" steps counted toward today's total?

If that's the case, today should be the only day you steps are off.

It also takes at least a day to automatically measure your stride length so your steps may be off the first day.  You can manually set your stride length by following the instructions here.

Yeah I set it up late last night, probably around 10-10:30. Thank you for the help though. Hopefully tomorrow it straightens itself out.
