    I am and I really like it I was aware i was genearlly doing more activity than i was counting and felt i wasn,t eating enough this has confirmed this and I have adjusted my calories accordingly. The only problem i am having is syncing the fitbit it takes for ever and I need to constantly log in and out of the site. Our home computer is very old though so think this is issue than than the fitbit itself.

    I am but find that sometimes the Fitbit syncs with MFP and sometimes doesn't -- like today, none of the exercise I did on the treadmill was automatically entered on MFP but yesterday it was.

    I was considering one of these, but I already have a droid x smartphone loaded with GPS enabled exercise apps. Is there anything about fitbit aside from 24/7 tracking that would convince me to buy it?

    FitBit was how I found out about MFP!! I had them linked when I first started, but I got really annoyed with the "fitbit adjustment" that would come up on MFP.. it was always some seemingly random number and just ended up confusing the hell out of me. So now I still use them both but seperately! fitbit = cals out, mfp = cals in. I love it!

    If you are hitting the start button on your fitbit when you start and stopping it at the end, it won't log those steps because fitbit thinks you are going to log it as an exercise on MFP so it won't send. Don't use the stop watch feature and it will always update. Mine works without fail.

    I am having the same problem! It seems like it takes a little while for it to sync. Yesterday I had to log in several times, today it synced up right away.
