Pedometers have to be pretty expensive to be accurate, they require a lot of small parts to work correctly to accurately measure your steps.
Treadmills are just a statisical measure based on factors you give it, how fast you go, how much you weigh and your age, all of those are based on a law of averages.
Based on the book, I eat 7 caloies for every pound of body weight, and when I reach my goal weight, I will adjust that to 10 calories per pound. However, my doctor told me that my metabolism is very slow, so in reality, i don't burn as many calories as people with normal or fast metabolisms. So the stats on the treadmill aren't a good guideline for me.
I will keep counting the calories I eat, but I figure I will exercise as a bonus, and not count those calories. The scale will tell me how I'm doing!
