in Introduce Yourself
Just came over from Fitbit, I’ve been a member here for 5 years but never used it. Still trying to figure out how many calories to lose 1#/wk. or does my base here already take that into account? Plus where do I enter my exercise, here or on linked Fitbit? Yikes!

    If you entered in your guided set up that you want to lose 1#/week, then your calorie goal already factors in the deficit required.

    If the Fitbit is linked with MFP, no, do not enter exercise in MFP. Fitbit doesn't send over the workouts themselves (you won't see them in your diary here) but they do send over the calories, so it will be included in your calorie adjustment.

    You can either
    - bookmark pages (at the top of the topic)
    - or edit your notification settings: at the top of the boards, tap on the bell icon (on smartphone or smaller screen, first tap on your profile picture to see the bell icon) and them tap on the icon with the the sliders at the top to edit your settings
