OK FitBit users! I have a question. So I started using it this morning, and used the timer for my exercise sessions. But for the rest of my day, to calculate calories burned and steps for the day, do I just basically clip it on and go?? I
Thanks for your help!

    welcome and congrats, yes just clip in the middle of your bra(best place to put it) and go. when you do any activity(workout) you put the timer and then don't forget to press it again when finished until you see stop. also at night for sleep press it on timer and when you wake up press until you see stop. =0D

    I love it, I have sleep apnea and in the begging it would show me that I would wake up 13 to 14 times at night.(interupted sleep) but now from working out and losing the weight i'm down to just 3 times of interupted sleep now that is awesome improvement.

    Ohhh! LOL. I thought there was some "technical" reason why that was best. I tried it there, and found that my stomach interfered with it being comfortable (hopefully that will change someday). I keep mine just below my bra strap and find it is very secure. And I never feel that it's there. Love it.

    it takes more than sweat for it to stop. dont' worry. and if something does go wrong put it into rice.

    I love my FitBit and the sleep monitor was worth every penny of it! I am still up many times a night, but I can now start tracking what I ate, what kinda of mood I was in before I went to bed, my asthma, ... ect and know what triggers me waking up so many times.

    I have had my fitbit 2 days. Can you tell me about the timer? I don't know how to do that? Thanks!

    Hold the button down until you see a counter clock come on. Then when you want it to end you hold the button down until it says stop. I only use the time for sleep. :-)

    I'm new to the fit bit as well. Does the fit bit automatically transfer information to MFP?

    No. You have to go to tools on MFP and sync them together.
