    If you go to apps, you should be able to add the fitbit in.

    Pleased I went with the fitbit hr :) How do I sync to myfitness pal?

    Connect your accounts at http://www.myfitnesspal.com/fitbit

    Set your goal to .5 lb. for every 25 lbs. you're overweight: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/account/change_goals_guided

    Enable negative calorie adjustments: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/account/diary_settings

    Ignore your Fitbit calorie goal and follow MFP's, eating back your adjustments. No need to log any step-based activity—your Fitbit is tracking it for you. Log non-step exercise (like swimming or biking) either in Fitbit or in MFP—never both.

    You can learn more in the Fitbit Users group: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/1290-fitbit-users

    I had been waiting forever for the Up3 as it was supposed to be water proof and I like the design so much more than any of the FitBits. But when it was finally released it was not water proof and it got really bad reviews. Got the Charge HR instead and very happy with it, still don't like the design though ;)

    Same here. I read reviews first on Amazon & seen how many people hated the Up3 & decided to go with the Charge HR. I had the Flex since Black Friday & liked that it was so tiny & liked that you could change the band color. The main thing I didn't like with the Flex was being able to see how many steps I had by looking at the band.

    With the Charge HR I like that it shows you steps, calories burned, stairs, the time, & your HR (not sure how accurate the HR is).

    It tells me I have claimed 6 floors well I have only gone up and down the stairs once

    Also I cannot get any heart rate measurements on my app.

    Stairs do not affect your burn in any way. It's just a motivating metric. It's based on changes in air pressure, so you can get lots of "flights" walking outdoors on a windy day.

    You'll only see a heart rate if you have a Charge HR or Surge and you've enabled heart rate tracking in your Fitbit settings. Use "auto" rather than "on" to conserve the battery: https://www.fitbit.com/settings/device/tracker/

    I was wondering how had so many flights of stairs when I don't climb any steps at work.
