Am I double logging exercise?

I have a Fitbit Flex synced to MFP which I turn is synced with Map My Fitness.

I'm concerned that I'm logging exercise twice. If I log exercise in MMF it shows in MFP and then on the Fitbit app, however this is also logging my steps during this period.

Any thoughts?

Many thanks.

    Nope, it's not.

    Read the FAQ in the stickies for this group for more details, the sections on how that works.

    Exercise logged in MFP overwrites your Fitbit burn during that time.

    I log in Fitbit rather than MFP. It'll take trial & error to find which you prefer.

    I decided to link Map my walk to my fitbit, and then only map the fitbit to MFP. That way, if I forget my fitbit (have done this 3 times) I can still map my walking on MMW. The fitbit will sync to MFP and not double log. or vice verse. You can sync MMF to MFP and sync your fitbit to that, but only sync ONE to MFP.
