Fitbit Flex

I finally got my FBF in the mail today. I realize that I burned almost 1300 calories just taking it out of the box and setting up my account. LOL I'm awesome like that.
I finally had a chance to get on the computer today and I think I understand the negative totals and BMR guestamations. Is there anything else I need to know that will help me keep this and myself working correctly?

Stride can make you seem like your walking more or less and it won't give an actuate read..0 -
Your stride is the distance you walk with one step. You need to set your stride so that it knows exactly how far you walk with each step.
Often times the default stride is really short. It will accurately count your steps but not the distance (ex. you might walk 3 miles but it only thinks you've walked 1.5). It's easy to measure your stride--google it to find a way that works for you--then input it into the device.0 -
I just ordered mine today so I want to keep this information.

If you are competitive, add your friends who are active... Makes me crazy when someone is ahead of me!!! I am up to between 20,00 to 30,000 steps a day... because I have two friends who are pretty darn active..LOL0
