I use a treadmill and my Fitbit Charge 4 is not good about counting the steps. So I have taken to logging it manually.
I used to get on, log the time started, duration, and distance (in KM) and it would calculate steps. As recently as last week it worked that way.
Now when I go on the Fitbit.com page, it wouldn't let me log until I knew my calories. Where it used to say steps or distance, it now has distance as optional and calories as required. My treadmill doesn't count calories- I don't know- I don't care! I am tracking steps.
So I do a conversion online to try to figure out how many calories I may have burnt and enter that. It then lets me post, but it states that I walked 432 steps. For 1.69 miles. I know that's not accurate! I can't see any way to edit the record, and when I tried to enter a "walking" activity just to log the extra steps, the log doesn't ask for steps at all (or distance). What am I missing here??

I just tried Treadmill and Walk, and both asked for distance, with calories optional.

I tried treadmill and got this:
Oddly, I just tried walk again and got what I used to see. I am so confused as to why it was different earlier today. Earlier today it looked like this:
Maybe a glitch? I was able to log it as walking and delete the previous record. I have no idea why it looks different now, but I'm glad for it!
