Ok so I get that fitbit should be used to track only running/walking. But I think its adding steps as a cycle. Should I be taking it off while I'm riding and letting MapMyFitness sync my calorie burn to MFP? Were my calories duplicated today because I didn't take it off? I did have the activity timer started though. Thanks

    Press and hold the button until you feel a vibrate; this turns on activity mode. Do your riding. When you're finished, press and hold the button to turn off activity mode. Sync your FitBit. Access the FitBit website > Log > Activity tab. You should see the workout logged as an activity (If not, check the Sleep tab and move it to Activity). On the Activity tab, toward the bottom, is a box that lets you search for activities. Use the start time and duration from your logged activity session to log your bicycling. FitBit works it out. I have not found that it makes a difference whether you leave the original logged activity (when you were in activity mode) or delete it, so it's up to you.

    Hi guys,

    My name is Maddy, I'm 19 and I live in Australia. To be honest, my depression and anxiety are starting to get the better of me. Today I went out and bought myself a fitbit and I'm looking to connect with some people to help motivate me and exchange tips/ ideas on getting fit and healthy and hopefully losing some weight. :)
