I have had a Fitbit for a few months now, but find it kind of boring. I know Fitness Pal is much better with friends to support and motivate you. Does Fitbit work the same and if so, how do I get friends?

    I only use the FitBit site for syncing my FitBit device. My FitBit account is linked to this account so my daily calories burned get credited to my food diary here.

    I also have the FitBit Aria scale and so my weight shows up on the FitBit site. It doesn't seem to synchronize with MFP though - which is good as i consider my weigh-ins with my personal trainer every 4 weeks to be my only official weigh-ins.

    Otherwise, i don't use the FitBit site and have no friends there, don't track food, etc. MFP is much more social and informative for me.

    I wasn't nearly as motivated by my Fitbit until I got several friends. They're all local and we knew of each other before through online photography communities. If it hadn't been for them I wouldn't have even considered participating in the Louisville Triple Crown this past March, which consisted of a 5k, 10k, and 10 miler. Now I'm getting into stuff that I never would have thought possible. I can't imagine being without it!
