  • Hi everyone, I'm Paul. I'm a complete and utter newbie to Fitbit (and MFP). My Fitbit Charge HR dropped through my door about an hour ago and I can't wait to get going, looks like a great bit of kit!

    My FitBit profile is https://www.fitbit.com/user/36ST5T

    Please feel free to add me, I need all the help I can get! lol

    I just got my charge hr and so far I like it but I'm not sure how accurate the heart rate monitor is during some exercises. I just came back from a 30 min kettlebell class and it shows I only burned 132 calories? That can't be right. It seemed to not be reading my hr right, when I checked it was showing 75-95 but when I manually checked it was more like 115. How do I override what it put in my MFP profile for calories burned?

    Got the Charge HR for my birthday. I absolutely love it!!
  • I got mine for christmas from my boyfriend, it has taken me a long time to attach it to myfitnesspal. I hope that I can be more accountable. I have a really bad habit of starting to change and get into a routine for a few days and then just stopping. I want to be better about sticking to getting healthy and logging in my information.

    Just got my charge and can't sync to My Fitness Pal. Have revoked access and tried again, no luck. Will have to search through community posts.

    Are you talking about the negative calories? I just figured out you have to enable that in the settings on the MFP website. Hope that helps!

    Had a One for two years before I ran it through the wash.
    Just got the HR two days ago, so far the only problem I'm having is it won't sync the "workout mode" on the PC or the App.
    And the fact that this thing is like a monolith on my wrist :-(

    I find that my HR is measuring less with mine also. It says three inches above the wrist is accurate placement but keep it loose. When I loosely put it there it falls. I just use fitbits measurements because I am lazy

    Well I figure I'll just leave it with the calories it shows, if they're under then that's not necessarily a bad thing. I am going to exchange my small for a large so I can move it up my arm since with the small I have it on the second last hold for the inch above my wrist. Unfortunately currently BestBuy is sold out in my city and online! Have to make sure I don't muck this one up until I can exchange since the kettlebell kept hitting it! I do like the sleep tracking. Not sure about the HR accuracy on the walking though. Guess I'll find out if it's giving me too many calories burned on walking when I weigh in on Sunday!

    Had my HR charge for 5 days now, a birthday gift from my husband. Love it, although still a way to go before I figure out all its features. Hoping it will help in my journey to lose 30lbs.
  • Just got my fitbit Flex a couple of weeks ago, and decided I wanted the Charge HR for my bootcamp exercises. Lost 25lbs last year, and on a journey to add another 25 more!!

    Love my fitbit! Keeps me motivated in ways MFP can't. Love that they sync together and I get the best of both programs!
