I did with the new Google Fit app, but then found that every step of my location data was being tracked and I didn't like that at all. So I turned it off.
I set one on my phone's tracker, but I don't pay any attention to if I meet it or not. I probably hit it half the time, when I look back on the history on the app. The 3DS also has a 1000 step per day goal built in, and that one I almost always hit.
No. Work gave us a free fitbit zip and had a company wide walking challenge for October. I realized I walk double what they said I need to stay healthy, so I quit caring.
Virgin Healthmiles GoZone, a basic pedometer. My daily goal is 7000 steps, but occasionally I forget to wear the thing and come up short. They are no longer selling that one, which has caused a kerfluffle at the workplace, as its replacement can sync via bluetooth, which makes it a data transmitter which is verboten.
I wear a fitbit heavily subsidized by my insurance company. Goal is 10,000 steps but I rarely meet it because it often doesn't pick up my morning workout.
@RedHot if you want to account for that you can enter steps manually or specific exercises (but I seldom go through the extra effort unless and you may already know that).
I had a WiThings for a while before it met the washing machine. That one didn't let you set your own goals in software, and I didn't really want to set goals, per se, but seeing the data did probably motivate me a bit. One-upping myself and all. Regardless, I walk a minimum of 4 miles to/from work any given day, which seems like an acceptable baseline for me.
My cat and I go for exercise walks each day. Or rather, my cat walked with me until, the snow melted, and left puddles everywhere. Being a cat, she didn't exactly walk with me. I walked a path that was about a quarter mile long. The cat would sprint ahead to a branch at a suitable height for petting. Then wait for me to go to the end of the path, and walk back. Then I would walk to the other end, and she would meet me at another branch at a reasonable petting height. She doesn't see the point in walking the sections of the path without petting opportunities.
12 of them - and I don't follow any of them.
Beer me.

I try to do 15,000 a day. Most of the time I hit my goal but do not stress if I do not.
I've got a factory job and I'm not sure I want to know how many steps I take.
Yeah, One.. NOT to wake up dead..
WAY too much beer...
Yep... I'm one of those people who uses a fitbit!
@Collin1000 So... what happened on Saturday and Sunday?
@Willijs3 If they're anything like me, they get a nice walk in to/from the office, then turn into a blob on weekends.
@brhfl thats me on the weekends too - I walk a lot more at work than at home.
I used a pedometer program for a day and immediately lost interest.

@PocketBrain p.s. for anybody with a GoZone and lost its battery cover, I designed a replacment which is on Thingiverse.

Goals?
Well I work in a hospital so I have no choice (well I have a choice) in walking 10,000+ steps in a day.
No specific goals (steps or anything similar) because it's not a metric I care about.
But to my credit, I have averaged like 10 hours a week in the gym - the majority of which is spent lifting - for the past 1.5 years.
Fitbits and these sorts of things don't really track resistance training all that well.
