    I use a flash. Will switch to fitbit or jawbone at some point, but I'll add you for now.

    What's the difference between the flash and the shine?

    The Flash costs half the price of the Shine and weighs about half as much. It's made of plastic instead of aluminum. It's flat on the top and bottom instead of convex. It comes in brighter colors. It doesn't look as elegant. Otherwise, they are almost identical.

    Its pretty durable. I've put my Flash through the washer and dryer and it still functions just like it did out of the box. No idea if the Shine can do that.

    I picked it because it was half off at Best Buy, so I got it for $25.

    Or maybe I won't since the app won't let me enable the social features. I'll try uninstalling and reinstalling when I get home.

    Oh please anyone that would like a motivational person add me. My misfit name is cb1962 The pic is of a fat cat Jones we have.
    I have not met anyone that has a misfit shine. I workout like crazy spend a lot of time in the water since I work at a fitness center. Just got to Onederland and have lost a total of 53 lbs. I love my Misfit shine have had it on since beginning of December it has been through a lot with me. I never take it off. We could all use some friends on it instead of just Miss Fit. Looking forward to meeting you.

    I'm glad the Flash is working out for you! My husband didn't have your good luck and has upgraded to the Shine two warranty replacements later.

    Anyway, adding everyone!

    I'm trying to add and it's just doing the circular loading thing. How do I fix that?

    Hello gang how is everyone??? I was at my moms yesterday working my butt off but the shine does not give you as much credit in that area. Lol but I know how had it was to toss feed bags around. I would like to add everyone to my Mis fit family on here. Please try to add me so we can stay motivated. I was trying to add Jason can't seem to get yours. And Chelsea is that your buddy on there Cory? Can we add him? Hope everyone has a great weekend loving my shine pals. Is there anyway to communicate via Mis fit or just watch each other??

    Just got mine Friday and used it for the first full day Sat. I am so confused by the Misfit Calorie Adjustment, anyone else? I did both the Misfit and my Pedometer app, about 200 steps apart so very good. But when I sync with MFP the Misfit does not take off all my calories.

    My Misfit name is evylone feel fee to add.

    There is some confusion with the Mis fit. I too don't always get how it figures things. I do love a few things that others don't have one being it is water proof big plus for me since I work in the water. It also has a battery life of about 6 months so no pesky charging is needed. You can wear it everyday anywhere. The downside I feel sometimes when I am walking it seems a bit short on steps but really at the end of the day it has helped me loose 54 lbs since I got it along with MFP. I just use that for my food count and intake exercise the two synced together work nicely. If I am going on a walk I will also use Map my fitness to GPS what I have done. It syncs well with that too. Hope that helps. I will look you up in the Mis fit world

    Misfit calculates your total burn for the day, including the calories you would burn just sitting on your butt all day. Then, MFP takes that number and if it is higher than their calculation for your maintenance calories plus any exercise you have logged separately, it gives you the Misfit Calorie Adjustment. If you sync it in the middle of the day, MFP pro-rates your calorie adjustment based on what you would burn if you sat on your butt for the rest of the day from that point.

    So, yesterday, Misfit said I burned a total of 2115 calories ( I was hungover and didn't do much. Didnt log any separate exercise). My MFP maintenance set at Sedentary is around 1945 (but varies based on my weight as logged). It gave me 161 calories for my Misfit adjustment.

    Friday, Misfit said I burned a total of 2904 calories. I logged a run with MapMyFitness for 507 calories, and I got a 468 calorie Misfit adjustment for the rest of the activity I did that day (shopping, cleaning, dancing, etc).

    I added everyone on this board. So happy to have some Misfit friends now! I wish I could change my Misfit name to match my MFP name but it doesn't seem to allow that.

    I *thought* I added everyone here to my Misfit Shine social but nobody is showing up yet. I still only see MissFit and me (sodagrrl). Maybe it takes a while...?

    ETA: OK. I see what was going on. The little add icon is tricky - I hadn't actually sent the requests I *thought* I'd sent. =)

    I see that you and I are on a very similar track - including when we got our Misfit Shines! My son is home from college and at almost 20 yrs old he's suddenly on a health kick (haha - I remember that time in my own life!). Wants to eat better, workout, and WALK (gasp!). We drove to a beautiful nature preserve and walked for a long time yesterday. Not fast, but every step counts!
