does anyone track steps with Fitbit? Do you find the numbers are very different from the app's tracker?

Are you saying that you're using MFP's step tracker + you have a Fitbit, and the step counts don't match? If so, my first thought would be that you don't carry your phone 24/7. Trust your Fitbit!

My FitBit should be arriving any day and I would love to have some FitBit friends on here! Add me! I am 5'4" and looking to lose 25-30 pounds, while gaining muscle tone and definition.

I love my Fitbit! The challenges are great for motivation. Knowing others see your steps makes you push yourself, at least for me!

My fitbit became a lot more accurate when I switched it to "dominant hand", even though it's on my non dominant hand...
