Hey all, I'm looking for some help with my fitbit. Iv set it up today and downloaded the app on my iPhone, for some reason it has said iv already climbed 2 floors, done 3000 steps and burnt 750kcals!!! Iv not even put the thing on yet. Also since iv been wearing it iv been up and down the stairs but its not registered it?

    Which version of Fitbit (Flex doesn't count steps).

    The steps on it already are from shipping and/or being carried around to set it up.

    All will re-set at midnight

    Fitbit one. I hadn't linked it to my iPhone app tho. It was my app that created the unknown steps ect!

    Have you synced it? It won't show on your app until it syncs. Press the button on the actual Fitbit... does it show there?

    The first 24 hours of a fitbit will always be a little wonky.

    It will estimate how many calories you burned since midnight, even if you are not wearing it. You burned 750 kcal just by existing since that time.

    A flight of stairs is 10 ft. If your stairs are less than that (or you pause in the middle, for example) it won't record as a flight.

    Just ignore the first day until it resets at midnight, basically.
