I have a fitbit, but lately I just don't feel like wearing it. Are there any apps for iPhone that count your steps and sync the data with fitness pal for calorie adjustments and whatnot? Or do I just have to stick with my fitbit?

    I'm pretty sure Runkeeper does - but it seems like that would be so much more work than a Fitbit. I love my Fitbit, just put it on and forget about it. With an app, you have to carry your phone, start the app when you start your workout, stop it when you're done (I've done if a couple of times just to compare the estimates with my Fitbit ... I like 2nd and 3rd opinions). For me, the Fitbit is the best!

    Why you hate your Fitbit? You make it sad.

    i found an iphone app that counts steps, min utes and percentage of the 10,000 steps recommended daily, it starts over each morning, but it does NOT sync with MFP, but everything is there and easy to enter- there are several free ones in the app store- IF you find one that syncs let me know- that would be great-

    Endomondo links up .. it can also automatically post to MFP ... it does not count steps, but uses GPS to determine distance travelled. Can be used for a whole bunch of activities too ...

    With the update, it does have a pedometer feature now.
