I have become a FitBit 5 mile addict. Music helps, and being a group. Anyone else? [View all]

Today was rainy, I had to use the $129 Kmart treadmill..

When I do that I listen to music.

Today I walked at a 3.0 mile per hour rate with lots of great songs,

Gotta have songs.

It works so well, 30 pounds lost since tracking my steps.
