  • No, it doesn't matter. Whenever you sync your fitbit with your iPad, the linking of the accounts between your fitbit account and MFP will pull the updated steps regardless of how they are captured (iphone, iPad, computer, etc). You will see a notification "*You earned an extra XXX calories today from exercise" -- seeing…

  • Need to see your diary, know the timing of your meals, and know any exercise you're doing to be able to help you.

  • BW plus a resistance band - will only add a few oz of weight and give you lots of versatility. Make sure you are getting the extra calories to counteract your backpacking burn - which will be high.

  • 8 lbs? ha! yes of course you'll bounce back with the right discipline and routine. Don't mean to laugh, but I studied in london and after averaging 4 pints a night I came back 20 lbs heavier and that included playing pickup soccer and belonging to a gym - you'll be fine!
