I have a fitbit and my wife just got a vivofit2. Can we use this app to share our progress with each other?

    If you are friends on MFP you can see each others progress. I sent you a FR so you can see how it works.

    Not really. If you open your diary, your wife can see your Fitbit adjustment. (Which is the difference between your Fitbit burn & your MFP activity level.)

    Why didn't she get a Fitbit? Then you could've done Fitbit challenges.

    Looks like we cant see steps but calculated calories burned from fitbit. Is that correct?

    Not quite. She can see your adjustment, which is the difference between your Fitbit burn (which is TDEE) and your MFP activity level.

    I stand corrected. Turns out she can click on your adjustment to see the math MFP used to calculate it—including your Fitbit burn (which is TDEE) and your MFP activity level calories.

    I never noticed that friends could see that. (Perhaps it changed at some point?)
