I just upgraded to a Blaze from Charge HR, love the new features. I just want to clarify something. If I used the exercise feature, treadmill for example..do I have to log that workout into MFP separately in order for it to count towards my workouts here?

If you look at my profile that's what I did..entering the duration and calories burned that Fitbit gave me.

    No - you should NOT log workouts on MFP anyway, as it then needs to sync over to Fitbit, replace the calorie burn there, then sync back to MFP.

    Not sure if you've had fun with syncing issues - but the less the better for syncing times. Or you just increase the odds of having an issue.

    Besides - unnecessary.

    If you need to inform people on MFP you had a workout - instead of logging it - just post it on your wall, with more details than a workout ever would have given.

    Have you ever actually used the Exercise Diary to review anything or to look at Exercise goals?
    If you actually have - you'll like Fitbit's better anyway.

    Good to know. I deleted the treadmill workout I added. I noticed some info has not synced which is why I was wondering.I don't feel a need to inform anyone, I just want tracking as accurate as possible.
