Fitbit and my fitness pal

[Su2ie]

Is anyone using fit it or myfitnesspal??? I use both and could do with some friends on them to make it more fun/challenging/encouraging.

You can add me by clicking the icon under my name.

I have a fitbit one which I love, I find it really useful for motivating me to be more active. I don't really know what the flex is like I'm afraid. The only negative is that the food database is American so it's very hard to log food accurately, hence why I use my fitness pal too. Between the 2 things I find them great for keeping me on track.

Thanks, whats fitness pal? Is it an app? X

 

[Su2ie]

Yes there's an ap on iPhone and android or you can access online. It's free and has a great database that makes logging quite easy.

You can add people using their email address or from Facebook.

Can we post email addresses on here?

 

[Mazza]

Nope, no email addresses OR asking people to add you to other forums.

Stick to adding the icons to your profile please.

All 'names' etc will be removed from this thread.

 

[Su2ie]

Wasn't aware of that - sorry! Didn't think of fitbit or myfitnesspal as 'other forums' and didn't mean to break any rules, just thought it would be another way of encouraging each other.

How do you add icons to profile? Can that be done on the iPhone app or does it have to be done online?

 

[Mazza]

Posting user names or full names on an open forum is not advisable Yes myfitnesspal has its own forum, no idea about fitbit.

As a reminder here's a link to the site rules, no's 4 and 21 in particular:

You already have the myfitnesspal icon under your name but yes you need to log into the full site to add them. Go into user cp via the menu bar at the top of the page and edit details. Here's a link which may explain it better.

The icons cannot be used by visitors and members who don't regularly post - much safer!

Any more questions, just message me

Don't get the wristband one - it's incredibly inaccurate because it picks up your hand movements as steps, so when you talk, eat and sit still but read a book, it thinks you're walking! The One is much better for accuracy, can be clipped to the middle bit of a bra, shirt collar or inside of a pocket
