Achieving 2020 Fitbit Goals
I ended up setting 2020 Fitbit goals when earlier this year I checked out my Fitbit stats to see what my annual numbers were. I discovered that I’d had a drop in everything in 2019. Even though I was more than half-way through 2020, I decided to set a goal of exceeding my 2019 numbers.

In this chart, you can see where I was at the end of August and then the new data for the balance of the year.

I met my goal!
Here’s what the annual totals look like.
| Year | Steps | Floors | Miles | Calories |
| 2020 | 4,500,311 | 6290 | 2,005.11 | 854,654 |
| 2019 | 3,688,570 | 4274 | 1,649.06 | 812,909 |
| 2018 | 4,341,364 | 6801 | 1,913.71 | 896,669 |
| 2017 | 4,662,734 | 5635 | 2,118.93 | 910,336 |
| 2016 | 4,824,029 | 6836 | 2,182.38 | 868,856 |
| 2015 | 4,253,875 | 7124 | 1,971.57 | 810,115 |
| 2014 | 3,071,844 | 5713 | 1,365.49 | 778,890 |
| 2013 (Mar – Dec) | 2,505,079 | 4481 | 1,101.9 | 731,658 |
| Totals | 31,847,806 | 47,154 | 14,308.15 | 6,664,090 |
I met my goal of beating my 2019 numbers but I also beat my 2018 numbers.
2016 remains my banner year so perhaps I should set a goal of making 2021 my highest year in steps. Looking at the numbers, perhaps I’ll aim for reaching 5 million steps for the year. I was going to say, “I don’t know if that’s doable or not but I’ll try” but then remembered that we’re supposed to say things in a more certain way. So, let’s go with, this year I am able to break the 5 million mark in steps.

January 6, 2021 at 9:17 amThanks. I was surprised that I rocked that goal. I forgot to pay attention to the details and just focused on getting in some runs. I find the floors numbers to be of little value. They show up on my Fitbit but don’t seem to reflect what I’ve actually done.

Looks like you really rocked 2020! I love that you track and analyze your total floors, steps, calories and miles. Here’s to a fit and strong 2021 going forward.
