Hello! I'm new to the vivofit world, and just recently purchased a vivofit2. It allows me to time my activities, which is great. However, I've noticed that even when I change the activity name in GC it still shows as a "run" on MFP. Anyone know how to fix this?

    When you are looking at the activity, it says running and there is an arrow next to it then your user name. If you press the arrow, you can change running to one of the other categories, then make sure you save it.

    There is no 'fix' unless it is cycling/swimming it will come up as a run or a walk depending on how vigorous the activity is. I often do body combat/netball, change the type to indoor cardio but MFP always classifies it as a run.

    I asked MFP about whether you could change the name/type and they said that whilst they were looking into this in the future at present there is no ability to change it.

    Thanks :) I emailed them as well, but the response was less than helpful. I don't think they even read my inquiry to be honest.
